Rather than try to feel your way through the legalese of a building
code, why not simply contact your local permitting/inspection office
and ask them? It sounds like you intend to follow the code (and maybe
even get a permit), so you won't be incriminating yourself :-)

Around here anyway, it's apparently common practice for folks doing
work themselves to take their plans (or ideas) to the inspectors
before starting anything and let them take a look. I do not do
anything like this myself, but lots of the folks I work with do it
and say that the St. Paul inspectors are all quite helpful and
knowledgeable, even about things that aren't building code related.
