*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
Vertical Accessibility is a requirement for the FBC. Until waiver is granted, building department cannot issue permit.


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


Due to age of historic structure and site constraints, providing vertical accessibility is technically infeasible.

Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other Need Additional Space
Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking
Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other Need Additional Space

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:**



See attached engineer letter based on code below.
https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/FLAC2020P1/chapter-1-application-and-administration#FLAC2020P1_Ch01_Sec106

Technically Infeasible. With respect to an alteration of a building or a facility, something that has little likelihood of being accomplished because existing structural conditions would require removing or altering a load-bearing member that is an essential part of the structural frame; or because other existing physical or site constraints prohibit modification or addition of elements, spaces, or features that are in full and strict compliance with the minimum requirements.

In addition, any exterior building modifications would trigger significant approvals from the local municipality.








Although this historic building was not structurally built to have an elevator/lift, I did some research on costs. Pricing ranged from $21,999 to $55,0000 from different companies. Detailed quote estimate forthcoming.

Based on code 202.4.1
Disproportionate Cost.(Alterations made to provide an accessible path of travel to the altered area will be deemed disproportionate to the overall alteration when the cost exceeds 20% of the cost of the alteration to the primary function area.)and the cost of this project, the lift/elevator could not exceed $800.
