| | 1) COMMENT #1 FROM THE 1ST REVIEW REQUESTING FAIR |
| | HOUSING ACT GUIDELINES BATHROOM DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS |
| | WAS NOT ADDRESSED. AS STATED IN THE COMMENT, BATHROOMS |
| | CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT SHALL BE |
| | DESIGNED AS EITHER TYPE A OR B. REVISE THE NOTES AND |
| | DETAILS ON SHEET A.2/P.1 TO CLARIFY THE SCOPE OF WORK |
| | PERTAINING TO THE SHOWER IN THE MASTER BATH AND THE NEW |
| | WATER HEATER. BASED ON THE DEMO PLAN AND THE NEW |
| | DRAWINGS, THE PROJECT APPEARS TO BE A CONVERSION OF A |
| | TUB AND SHOWER COMPARTMENT INTO A SHOWER COMPARTMENT, |
| | AND A NEW WATER HEATER AT A NEW LOCATION. |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES: BECAUSE THE |
| | BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT AND |
| | THE DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR USABLE BATHROOMS IN DWELLING |
| | UNITS, THE ALTERATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED IN THE |
| | BATHROOMS SHALL ALSO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING ACT. THE FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES |
| | ARE INCLUDED IN THE FLORIDA ACCESSIBILITY CODE- 2017 |
| | SIXTH EDITION. COMPLIANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES REQUIRES |
| | THAT CLEAR FLOOR SPACES FOR WHEELCHAIR APPROACHES TO |
| | BATH FIXTURES SHALL EITHER BE MAINTAINED AS ORIGINALLY |
| | DESIGNED OR PROVIDED WHERE NEW FIXTURES ARE BEING |
| | INSTALLED. THE PLAN IS INDICATING THE CONVERSION OF A |
| | BATHTUB TO A SHOWER IN THE MASTER BATH. PROVIDE AN |
| | ENLARGED DIMENSIONED DRAWING OF THE BATHROOM SHOWING |
| | THE REQUIRED CLEAR FLOOR SPACE DIAGRAM FOR THE NEW |
| | SHOWER. PLEASE SEE REQUIREMENT 7 CONTAINED IN THE |
| | GUIDELINES AND FIGURE 5, AND FIGURES 7A, 7C, & 7D FOR |

| | BENCH SEAT REINFORCEMENTS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN THE |
| | SHOWER WALLS TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE INSTALLATIONS. |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE DIMENSIONED ELEVATION VIEWS SHOWING THE |
| | LOCATIONS OF THE WALL REINFORCEMENTS. |
| | 1A) AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO MEETING THE GUIDELINES FOR THE |
| | BATH ALTERATIONS, THE OWNER AND DESIGNER OF RECORD FOR |
| | THE PROPOSED PROJECT MAY PROVIDE A SIGNED AND NOTARIZED |
| | AFFIDAVIT WHICH WOULD INDICATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THE |
| | PROPOSED DESIGN DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES, BUT WILL ALSO |
| | REQUIRE THE OWNER TO AGREE TO REVERT THE UNIT BACK TO |
| | COMPLIANCE AT TIME OF SALE IF SO REQUESTED BY THE |
| | BUYER. IF THIS OPTION IS CHOSEN, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL |
| | TO [email protected] AND I WILL SEND A COPY OF THE FAIR |

| | ADVISABLE AT A MINIMUM TO INSTALL THE SHOWER WALL |
