*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
While reviewing our proposed design with the University of Florida Environmental Health and Safety Division and the University of Florida ADA Coordinator, it was indicated to us that an elevator will need to added even though we have gone to great lengths and costs to make all the primary functions of the Sorority accessible in our new planning for the Main Level. Our new Main Level Plan provides a duplicate of all the Second Level functions including new accessible Sleeping Rooms and a new accessible Bathroom and Shower.
