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:

We requested 2 estimates for the cost of the elevator (files included). The cost of the elevators was so much higher than the cost of the remodeling work to be done, we did not request a contractor bid for the elevator shaft, as it would place a burden on the contractor to design and price out labor and materials. We are not willing to pay the cost of the elevator, and the project will be cancelled if our request is denied.

Need Additional Space

Cost Estimates For Compliance:

Historic Building on which compliance with the requirements for accessibility is not feasible while maintaining historically significant features.

Please provide documentation of the designation of the building as historically significant.
