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:

This is an existing Motel, with 18 units being remodeled. We are providing accessibility to the first floor (10 units) but not to the second floor (8 units). We want to remodel and update all the units. Access to the second floor will require an elevator plus raising the walkway slab 4" and reinforcing the slab with columns. This is a hardship financially and we are restricted in the space to do the job.

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: 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.
