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:
Having an interior elevator is not feasible due to small interior spaces for the 620 NE 76th Street building. Creating an exterior elevator is not possible due to the site constraints that would adversely affect both the existing use and existing accessibility.
The second floor and mezzanines of the 7541 Biscayne Blvd building were permitted when they were built and we ask that they be allowed to remain.

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:
If the waiver is denied, second floor space would become un-usable, at considerable expense for the owner for the 620 NE 76th Street building.
If the waiver is denied, the existing permitted mezzanines and second floor of the 7541- 7551 Biscayne building would have to be removed.

Need Additional Space

Cost Estimates For Compliance:

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.
