We have started the interior

will be required, or the project will not be approved.

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:
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:
In order to provide the vertical
accessibility the owner will have to
spend at least
$92,500. This is more than 20% of the total remodeling
cost for the
building. Please see attached estimates.
Historic
Building on which compliance with the requirements for accessibility is not
feasible while maintaining historically significant features.
Please
provide documentation of the designation of the building as historically
significant.

These
is no design professional is engaged on the project

belief that this waiver should be granted due to the high cost involved in installing
the Handicap Lift and meeting the vertical Accessibility requirements. Please
