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:
The zipline tour will be accessed via a pre-existing ADA compliant facility and building. The path up to the ticketing area will be fully ADA compliant, as will the ramp leading to the first suspension bridge at the beginning of the attraction. The attraction from the suspension bridge through the last zip line will not be universally accessible, due to the nature of high adventure activities. The disembark area at the termination of the final zip line will have an ADA compliant ramp, leading back into the ADA complaint facility.

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:

By their nature, high adventure activities and amusements such as zip lines and aerial adventure courses have industry-defined standards and mandatory participant eligibility requirements. Critical functions that need to be met in order to participate mandate certain physical ability. In order to accommodate and include as many individuals as possible, ADA compliance is planned to the extent possible within this project's design and intended use, including ADA compliant ramps and pathways up to the beginning of the attraction itself (suspension bridge leading to the first tower), as well as an ADA compliant ramp immediately at the disembark area. Signage will be located at the ticketing area, clearly indicating participant eligibility requirements, as well as available accommodations.

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.
