| | 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. REFER TO REQUIRMENT 7 USUABLE KITCHENS |
| | AND BATHROOMS AND PAGE 7.33 IN THE FAIR HOUSING ACT |
| | DESIGN MANUAL. |
| | BASED ON THE DRAWING IT IS NOT CLEAR IF USABLE BATHROOM |
| | TYPE A OR B WAS CHOSEN AS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN UNDER |
| | PERMIT-01091471, HOWEVER THE DRAWING APPEARS TO |
| | INDICATE THAT THE MASTER BATHROOM WAS DESIGNED AS A |
| | TYPE B BECAUSE GREATER ACCESS IS PROVIDED TO THE |
| | TUB/SHOWER UNIT. BECAUSE IT IS THIS TUB/SHOWER UNIT |
| | BEING CONVERTED TO A SHOWER, THE REQUIRED CLEAR FLOOR |
| | 30"X 48" CLEAR FLOOR SPACE FOR WHEELCHAIR APPROACH MUST |
| | BE MAINTAINED. AS REQUESTED IN COMMENT #1 PROVIDE AN |
| | ENLARGED DRAWING OF THE SHOWER THAT INCLUDES THE |
| | DIMENSIONS OF THE SHOWER AND THE REQUIRED CLEAR FLOOR |
| | SPACE DIAGRAM AND DIMENSION- REFER TO SEE REQUIRMENT 7 |
| | AND FIGURE 7D FOR GUIDANCE. COMPLIANCE ALSO REQUIRES |
| | THAT BACKING FOR FUTURE GRAB BAR INSTALLATIONS BE |
| | PROVIDED- REFER TO FIGURE 5 AND PROVIDE DIMENSIONED |
| | SIDE AND BACK ELEVATION VIEWS OF THE SHOWER WALLS |
| | SHOWING THE LOCATIONS, LENGTHS AND WIDTHS OF THE GRAB |

| | PLEASE NOTE: 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. |
