*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
Home was completely gutted and renovated, including electrical, plumbing, walls, flooring, etc. The bottom floor (grade level) of the home was completely remodeled and brought to code for handicap access and handicap bathroom. This space serves as a conference/meeting room for handicap customers. The next floor up (split-level - 3-4' up) doesn't have any plumbing and also serves as a conference/meeting room. Currently Sumter County Building Department will not give us a Certificate of Occupancy because they are stating that we need to build a ramp for a second entrance for handicap accessibility. We do not feel this is justifiable due to the expense and alteration of what is already existing and brand new, nor do we feel it benefits handicap customers (see additional letter.)
