*Briefly explain why the request has now been referred to the Commission.
We were led to believe by a prior project manager that we had already received a waiver for the ADA lift for this project and that all permits were closed. We later realized this was not the case. We have since passed all relevant inspections but are pending this waiver for the lift to complete/close out the permiting.


Requirements to be Waived.




9. Requirements requested to be waived. Please reference the applicable section of Florida law. Only Florida-specific accessibility requirements may be waived.
Issue 1: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms  Minimum height in parking structures  Accessible parking
  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other
Access to this area is via a narrow set of stairs. The historic nature of the building does not allow for an ADA lift (it would block egress).


Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms  Minimum height in parking structures  Accessible parking
  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other Need Additional Space
Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms  Minimum height in parking structures  Accessible parking
  Vertical accessibility  Toilet rooms
  Private  Other Need Additional Space

Grounds for waiver.


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:**



The historic nature of the building as well as the costs, and life safety egress concerns make adding the ADA lift very difficult.
