Requirements to be Waived.




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
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other

We are requesting a waiver for the vertical accessibility (to the 30" lower portion of the second floor only, we will provide vertical accessibility to the upper portion of the upper floor with an exterior lift) requirement. Both the commercial platform lift and the structural modifications necessary for a ramp have become prohibitive costs to the renovation of this space.

 


Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other Need Additional Space
Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other Need Additional Space


Grounds for waiver.


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:**



Because this building is over one hundred years old and was added to over time, it presents a singular set of hurdles in order to achieve complete accessibility.

 



The total estimate of installing the platform lift into this existing building would be approximately $62,217. Attached are estimates from two separate lift companies in addition to the quote from the contractor detailing costs related to installation.
