*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.

The design contractor is progressing toward a final design but preliminary design information suggests that the cost for vertical access per Section 553.509 is both prohibitive and disproportionate. We are therefore seeking a waiver under Section 553.512 in order to proceed with the project.

Requirements to be Waived.

Please correct the following issues:

9. Requirements requested to be waived. Please reference the applicable section of Florida law. Only Florida-specific accessibility requirements may be waived.

Issue 1: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Door opening pressure Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other

Description:
Florida ADA, Section 553.509 requires vertical access for this facility. The federal ADA exempts this type of facility from vertical access [see 28 CFR 36.401(d) and Section 206.2.3, Exception 1 of the U.S. 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design]. The project will fully meet all other federal ADA requirements pursuant to 28 CFR 36.401(d)(3). The cost for vertical access is disproportionate as outlined in FL ADA Section 553.512 and, by reference, 28 CFR 36.403(f)(1). We therefore request a waiver from this requirement.

Grounds for waiver.

Please correct the following issues:

10. Grounds for Waiver: The Florida Building Commission may grant waivers of Florida-specific accessibility requirements upon a determination of unnecessary, unreasonable or extreme hardship. Please describe how this project meets the following hardship criteria. Explain all that would apply for consideration of granting the waiver.

NOTE:** Please select atleast one checkbox below.

The hardship is caused by a condition or set of conditions affecting the owner which does not affect owners in general.

Description:
The turnhouse is unique in that it will be located on a golf course. There is no parking other than limited space for golf carts to make a temporary stop to obtain food & beverage, or use the restrooms, before heading to the 10th tee. The 1st floor will be ADA accessible with seating; the 2nd floor will be an open, covered deck with seating but no HVAC nor restrooms. ABCC provides more extensive food & beverage service at its clubhouse on Selva Marina Drive. This facility is fully ADA accessible, offers a wide range of services from the bar & grill and the formal dining area, and has ADA parking conveniently located adjacent to the main entrance.

Need Additional Space
Substantial financial costs will be incurred by the owner if the waiver is denied. The owner has made a diligent investigation into the costs of compliance with the code, but cannot find an efficient mode of compliance. Provide detailed cost estimates and, where appropriate, photographs. Cost estimates must include bids and quotes.

Description:
Pete's Turn will be a memorial to Pete Rodrigues, a popular and respected member of ABCC, who died in a tragic boating accident. The project is being funded through voluntary contributions made in his memory. Current funding will not cover the cost for vertical access. Unless a waiver is granted, or additional additional sources for funding can be found, the project will need to be abandoned and donations returned to contributors. Vertical access is disproportionate: the cost of an elevator ($80,000) is roughly 131% of the cost for the 2nd floor "alteration" ($61,000). [See additional comments.]
