*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.

Requirements to be Waived.

Please correct the following issues:

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
Door opening pressure Vertical accessibility Toilet rooms
Private Other

Description:
Because 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design gives exceptions which do not require vertical accessibility to upper floors of buildings less than three stories and because the proposed design exceeds the required number of accessible rooms (as outlined in the same standards) by placing them all on the lower level, we would request that the Florida requirements be waived down to the requirements of the ADA standards. This would eliminate the requirement for vertical accessibility to the second floor and the requirement for accessible toilet rooms on the second floor.

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: Need Additional Space
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:
Because Young Life is a non-profit organization and because the ADA Guidelines do not require vertical access in this building and because the required number of accessible rooms (per ADA Guidelines) can be exceeded with those provided only on the lower level of the building, to require an elevator would add unnecessary cost burden to the project.
