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

Original structure was not ADA compliant. County is requiring replacement structure to be ADA compliant. There's concern about liability if replacement structure is ADA compliant because there's no parking access near structure. This is not a public dune walkover; but, making the replacement structure ADA compliant would risk the safety of those persons using the replacement structure because the location is directly off of a busy highway. The financial costs to make the replacement structure ADA compliant is not within the current owner's means.

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
Door opening pressure Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other

Description:

The project location is directly off of a main highway. The project area is privately owned (not owned by the county). No accessible parking exists or is feasible.

Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Door opening pressure Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other

Description:

Creating a vertically accessible structure could create risk for the owner given that it may entice disabled persons to park along the highway to access such a structure. Doing so wouldn't be safe.

Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Door opening pressure Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other

Description:

Safety issue. Constructing an ADA compliant dune walkover would place the disabled public's safety at risk. The financial cost to make the replacement structure ADA compliant is not within the current owner's means.

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:

An ADA ramp system at the project location is not supportable because there is not ADA parking on a busy highway. If project was to be too attractive as an ADA dune walkover without safe parking boundaries, the owner would be liable for any injuries or deaths resulting from its use by a disabled person.

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 current owner cannot afford to build an ADA compliant dune walkover. The cost to construct an ADA compliant dune walkover is $24,000.
