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

This was reviewed by Duval county, it was referred to Commision for waiver due to hardship of cost . We currently have no wheelchair, students, or the schools we pick up students have none. The extra cost of providing a chair lift to this space would be prohibitive of funding source.



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

The chair lift to this area is cost prohibitive, if the occasion arises to accomadate a wheelchair, to this area we would move the lab to a 1st floor location , or install a lift at that time to accomadate chair. The cost override of the lift itself, providing ,electrical, venting, safe room, and phone/intercom service pushes it close to the $15,000 mark. This is over a 20% additional cost to project . The plan is to run conduit to the respective areas involved , for future if needed


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