| | |
| | NOTE - A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW COULD NOT BE DONE AT THIS |
| | TIME, AND ADDITIONAL PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS MAY BE |
| | GENERATED UPON THE RE-REVIEW OF SUBMITTED CORRECTIONS. |
| | |
| | 1. THIS BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING |
| | ACT. WOULD YOU PLEASE INDICATE ON PLANS WHICH DESIGN |
| | SPECIFICATION ( "A" OR "B" OF THE ACT) WAS USED IN THE |
| | ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THESE UNITS? TELL US WHICH USABLE |
| | BATHROOM IN THE DWELLING UNITS AND THE PROPOSED |
| | ALTERATION IN THE BATHROOM SHALL ALSO COMPLY WITH THE |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACT. |
| | |
| | THIS BUILDING MAY HAVE BEEN DESIGNED UNDER THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING DESIGN MANUAL OR THE FAIR HOUSING GUIDELINES. |
| | THIS NEEDS TO BE DETERMINED BY RESEARCHING WHEN THE |
| | BUILDING WAS BUILT AND REQUESTING PLANS FROM THIS |
| | CITY'S WEBSITE. THIS MAY INCUR A FEE AND TIME TO |
| | RETRIEVE ALL THIS INFORMATION. IT IS UP TO THE |
| | ARCHITECT TO REQUEST THE INFORMATION AND DETERMINE IF |
| | THE LEVEL OF ACCESSIBILITY IS ALTERED. WE REQUIRE TO |
| | SHOW THE DIMENSION OF THE CLEAR FLOOR SPACE IN THE |
| | BATHROOM IN FRONT OF EACH FIXTURE IN THAT BATHROOM. THE |
| | RESEARCH WILL TELL IF IT'S AN A OR B TYPE BATHROOM. |
| | |
| | THE FAIR HOUSING ACT PROVIDES TWO SETS OF |
| | SPECIFICATIONS TO DESIGN BATHROOMS USABLE BY PEOPLE |
| | WITH DISABILITIES. THOUGH THERE ARE OTHER DIFFERENCES, |
| | SPECIFICATION B BATHROOMS OFFER GREATER ACCESS TO THE |
| | TUB THAN SPECIFICATION A BATHROOMS. |
| | |
| | IF THE SPECIFICATION A DESIGN IS SELECTED, ALL |
| | BATHROOMS IN THE UNIT MUST COMPLY WITH THE |
| | SPECIFICATION A STANDARD (SECTION 7.14). THIS INCLUDES |
| | ACCESS TO ALL FIXTURES IN EACH SPECIFICATION A BATHROOM |
| | (E.G., TWO LAVATORIES IN ONE BATHROOM WOULD BOTH NEED |
| | TO MEET FHA REGULATIONS). |
| | |
| | IF THE SPECIFICATION B DESIGN IS SELECTED, ONLY ONE |
| | BATHROOM IN THE UNIT AND ONE OF EACH TYPE OF FIXTURE |
| | WITHIN THE BATHROOM MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFICATION B |
| | STANDARDS (SECTION 7.15). ALL OTHER BATHROOMS IN THE |
| | UNIT MUST MEET THE USABLE BATHROOM REQUIREMENTS |
| | (SECTION 7.11), EXEMPTING MANEUVERING CLEARANCES, AND |
| | CLEAR FLOOR SPACE REQUIREMENTS AT FIXTURES. |
| | |
| | 2. THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH BUILDING DEPARTMENT |
| | PROVIDES AN OPTION FOR CHANGING AN FHA COMPLIANCE |
| | STRUCTURE. THE OWNER AND DESIGNER OF RECORD ACKNOWLEDGE |
| | THAT THE PROPOSED BATHROOM DESIGN DOES NOT MEET THE |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES REQUIREMENTS. THE |
| | OWNER AGREES TO REVERT THE UNIT BACK TO COMPLIANCE AT |
| | THE TIME OF SALE IF SO, REQUESTED BY THE BUYER. THIS |
| | WILL BE IN A LETTER-TYPE FORMAT SIGNED AND NOTARIZED BY |
| | THE OWNER. WE PROVIDE A SAMPLE LETTER, AND IT MUST BE |
| | SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY OF |
| | WPB. IF THIS OPTION IS CHOSEN, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO |
| | [email protected], AND I WILL SEND A COPY OF THE FAIR |
| | HOUSING AFFIDAVIT. |
| | |
| | YOU MAY CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED |
| | HELP WITH THIS PROCESS. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING PLANS, PLEASE INDICATE THE REVISION & |
| | REMOVE ANY VOIDED SHEETS & REPLACE ANY NECESSARY PAGES. |
| | A TRANSMITTAL LETTER LISTING THE ORIGINAL REVIEW |
| | COMMENT NUMBER, WITH A DESCRIPTION OF THE REVISION |
| | MADE, IDENTIFYING THE SHEET OR SPECIFICATION PAGE WHERE |
| | THE CHANGES CAN BE FOUND, WILL HELP EXPEDITE YOUR |
| | PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COOPERATION. |
