*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
We believe the addition of elevators to comply with Florida Statute for vertical accessibility would be both undue financial hardship (the addition of 4 more elevators to the property) and is unnecessary given the fact that there are no amenities for access in the duplex buildings; there are only two hotel rooms per building, which do not count toward the project's quantity of accessible units.
