*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
The local building department requires a waiver for ADA accessibility and referred me to DBPR. Vertical accessibility requirements are not feasible for this project. Parking accessibility is all public & DOT property, therefore there is no private land for parking with this building. Ramps at entry ways into the building have been built.

NOTE:**


Need Additional Space



Elevator for vertical lift access exceed 75% of total construction cost making this not feasible for this project. I have included elevator quotes in the attachments. These costs are more than 50% of the total construction cost, plus we would have to hire a contractor for the opening, electrical, plumbing, etc adding 25% or more.
