NOTE:**



See attached Grounds for Waiver narrative detailing the technical infeasibility to provide ramps and lifts within the existing historic structure. The existing hotel features an initial threshold to enter the front porch and lobby area, then there are additional steps to access the first floor and second floor units. Through the renovation process, access to the lobby will be added from a ramp within the south side setback, and an ADA hotel unit will be available on the ground floor.
