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

This application requests your strongest consideration of a WAIVER of vertical accessibility for the chapter house based on the financial infeasibility of the project, the restricted access of the public, to evoke the exemption per FAC, Chapter 2, Accessible Routes, 206.2.3 Multi-Story Buildings and Facilities, Advisory 206.2.3, Exemption four due to accommodations previously made for those with disabilities on the first floor, and an immediate need to restore access to the additional means of egress.

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

Private Other

Description
Section 806.1 General. A building, facility, or element that is altered shall comply with the provisions of the Florida Building Code, Accessibility.

2014 Accessibility Code Advisory 201.1 Scope. Florida vertical accessibility requires all levels in all new buildings, structures and facilities to be accessible to persons with disabilities. All new and altered areas must comply with the ADA Standards for Accessible Design including requirements for accessible routes. Where the ADA Standards do not require an accessible route to each and every level, the Florida requirement may be waived down to the requirement of the ADA Standards.

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: 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:

The Budget for the Balcony Deck Renovation project is 163,806.00. This budget was already contentious and the design for the project was reduced and value engineered to be within this budget.

The Budget for adding an elevator to the building would be $212,726.00, more than doubling the cost of the original project. The owner cannot afford the added cost and will be forced to cancel the project. Demolition on the existing structure will be necessary due to its unstable condition. Therefore an additional means of egress will be removed.

Cost Estimates For Compliance:
