The hardship is caused by a condition or set of conditions affecting the owner which does not affect owners in general.

Description:

Florida Statues Section 553.509 Vertical Accessibility

2017 Florida Accessibility Code (FAC), Section 202.3.

Section 202.3 requires that an alteration to an existing space comply with the requirements of FAC Chapter 2 and Section 201.1.1. Section 201.1.1 requires all altered areas of existing buildings, structures and facilities to be accessible to persons with disabilities. All new and altered areas must comply with the ADA Standards for Accessible design including requirements for accessible routes.

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 proposed improvements are valued at $184,000.00 as described in the Contractor's estimate. Florida Statutes require 20% of $184,000.00 construction cost to be allocated to accessibility improvements. This would be $36,800.00. The cost of a passenger elevator, has been estimated by the Contractor to be $132,000.00. The cost to add a Chair lift would be approximately $71,200.00.
