| | |
| | 1) COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY |
| | GUIDELINES IS REQUIRED FOR THE REPLACED BATHROOM |
| | FIXTURES AND THE NEW SHOWER CONVERSION. PLEASE REVIEW |
| | COMMENTS #1 AND #1A FROM THE 1ST REVIEW PRINTED BELOW. |
| | BASED ON THE DRAWINGS IT IS NOT CLEAR IF USUABLE |
| | BATHROOM TYPE A OR B WAS CHOSEN AS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN. |
| | THE DESIGNER OF RECORD MUST INDICATE WHCH TYPE DESIGN |
| | WAS USED ON THE PLAN, AND THEN PROVIDE USABLE BATHROOM |
| | DETAILS FOR THE REPLACED FIXTURES AND THE NEW SHOWER |
| | ACCORDING TO THE GUIDELINES. PLEASE REVIEW CHAPTER 7 OF |
| | THE FAIR HOUSING ACT DESIGN MANUAL AND PROVIDE THE |
| | ENLARGED DRAWINGS AND DETAILS (WHERE REQUIRED) AS |
| | REQUESTED IN THE 1ST REVIEW. PLEASE NOTE THAT USABLE |
| | BATHROOM DESIGN TYPE A REQUIRES BOTH BATHROOMS TO MEET |
| | COMPLIANCE, WHEREAS TYPE B REQUIRES ONE OF THE TWO TO |
| | MEET FULL COMPLIANCE- SEE PAGE 7.34. |
| | |
| | 1) 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 COMPLETE REPLACEMENT |
| | OF PLUMBING FIXTURES IN BATHS 1 AND 2; AND THE |
| | CONVERSION OF A BATHTUB TO A SHOWER IN BATH 2. ENLARGED |
| | DIMENSIONED DRAWINGS OF THE BATHROOMS ARE REQUIRED WITH |
| | CLEAR FLOOR SPACE DIAGRAMS CONFIGURED ON THE DRAWINGS. |
| | PLEASE SEE REQUIREMENT 7 CONTAINED IN THE GUIDELINES |
| | AND FIGURE 5, AND FIGURES 7A, 7C, & 7D FOR GUIDANCE. |
| | CONCERNING THE SHOWER, GRAB BAR AND WALL HUNG 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 |
| | HOUSING AFFIDAVIT. IF CHOOSING THIS OPTION IT WOULD BE |
| | ADVISABLE AT A MINIMUM TO INSTALL THE SHOWER WALL |
| | REINFORCEMENTS. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. |
