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
We are requesting vertical accessibility be waived specifically and exclusively for the four duplex buildings (a total of 8 guest rooms out of 33). The remaining 25 guest rooms, as well as all site amenities, provide a parity of guest experience at the resort already (with access to all types of guest rooms, equal views from those rooms to the water, parking and access to all amenities the resort has to offer). Additional access to the duplex buildings would not increase the parity of a guest's experience with or without any form of disability.

Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms  Minimum height in parking structures  Accessible parking
  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other NO OTHER REQUESTED WAIVERS
Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms  Minimum height in parking structures  Accessible parking
  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other
NO OTHER REQUESTED WAIVERS

Grounds for waiver.


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:**



The hardship of providing accessibility to the 4 duplex buildings (8 total guest room units) arises due to the specific location of this project within a VE flood zone and seaward of the Coastal Construction Control Line; without the building code requirement to elevate the structures, these duplex buildings would otherwise be single-story buildings accessed entirely from the ground.
