Parking Aisle Width Florida Building Code, Chapter 5, 502.2 Vehicle Parking Spaces.

We have 501 parking spaces. We are trying to make the garage ADA compliant by providing 10 H/C spaces. We are requesting a variance on Level 1 where our parking space width is 10'-9" rather than 12' wide (Sheet 1). A variance on Level 2 for one space which is 8'-11" wide (Sheet 2). A variance on Level 3 where a space is 9' wide (Sheet 3). These widths are reduced to to column placement.

Issue 2: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking

Private Other

Description:
Additionally on Level 2 and Level 3 we are requesting a variance to Florida Law, s 553.5041(5)(a) to allow the access aisle to be placed behind the parked vehicle. Limited space in this between columns causes parking width and depth issue.

Issue 3: Florida-specific hotel/motel rooms Minimum height in parking structures Accessible parking

Nothing beyond what has been expressed in Issue 1 & Issue 2.

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:

Column spacing affects the required parking layout.We have uploaded drawings illustrating what we would wish to occur.
Making the project parking spaces occur is technically infeasible, without significant impact to existing parking.

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 ability to relocate columns is beyond the scope of fiscal realities of this project. The owner is attempting to utilize 'Best management Practices to accommodate the realities of the existing structure and the requirements of the Florida Accessibility Code.

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.
