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:

There are four isolated corner seating areas. Circulation paths are located between three of the areas so these cannot be joined. Creating one large raised area along the south wall would defeat the intent of intimate spaces. Having to provide four lifts or four 24' ramps presents a hardship both in terms of cost and lost floor area.

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 contractor is working on the comparison between the budget and the cost of vertical accessibility.

Cost Estimates For Compliance:
