 1ST REVIEW
  
 PLUMBING COMMENTS: DENIED
  
 A REVIEW OF MINIMUM PLUMBING FIXTURE REQUIREMENTS AS
 REQUIRED BY FBC ACC IS PART OF THE PLUMBING REVIEW
 PROCESS BUT IS TYPICALLY ADDRESSED ON THE ARCHITECTURAL
 PLANS. ANY COMMENTS CONCERNING THESE REQUIREMENTS MUST
 BE SATISFACTORILY ADDRESSED PRIOR TO A PLUMBING REVIEW
 APPROVAL.
  
 1.PER FBC ACC 202.4.1 AND 202.4.2, PROVIDE
 CONSIDERATION FOR UPGRADING DRINKING FOUNTAIN TO A
 BI-LEVEL TO COMPLY WITH FBC ACC 602.4, 602.7 AND 307.2.
 202.4.1DISPROPORTIONATE COST.
 ALTERATIONS MADE TO PROVIDE AN ACCESSIBLE PATH OF
 TRAVEL TO THE ALTERED AREA WILL BE DEEMED
 DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE OVERALL ALTERATION WHEN THE
 COST EXCEEDS 20% OF THE COST OF THE ALTERATION TO THE
 PRIMARY FUNCTION AREA. COSTS THAT MAY BE COUNTED AS
 EXPENDITURES REQUIRED TO PROVIDE AN ACCESSIBLE PATH OF
 TRAVEL MAY INCLUDE: (I) COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING
 AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE AND AN ACCESSIBLE ROUTE TO THE
 ALTERED AREA; (II) COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MAKING
 RESTROOMS ACCESSIBLE, SUCH AS INSTALLING GRAB BARS,
 ENLARGING TOILET STALLS, INSULATING PIPES, OR
 INSTALLING ACCESSIBLE FAUCET CONTROLS; (III) COSTS
 ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING ACCESSIBLE TELEPHONES, SUCH
 AS RELOCATING THE TELEPHONE TO AN ACCESSIBLE HEIGHT,
 INSTALLING AMPLIFICATION DEVICES, OR INSTALLING A TEXT
 TELEPHONE (TTY); (IV) COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RELOCATING
 AN INACCESSIBLE DRINKING FOUNTAIN.
 202.4.2ACCESSIBLE FEATURES IN THE EVENT OF
 DISPROPORTIONALITY.
 WHEN THE COST OF ALTERATIONS NECESSARY TO MAKE THE PATH
 OF TRAVEL TO THE ALTERED AREA FULLY ACCESSIBLE IS
 DISPROPORTIONATE TO THE COST OF THE OVERALL ALTERATION,
 THE PATH OF TRAVEL SHALL BE MADE ACCESSIBLE TO THE
 EXTENT THAT IT CAN BE MADE ACCESSIBLE WITHOUT INCURRING
 DISPROPORTIONATE COSTS. IN CHOOSING WHICH ACCESSIBLE
 ELEMENTS TO PROVIDE, PRIORITY SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THOSE
 ELEMENTS THAT WILL PROVIDE THE GREATEST ACCESS, IN THE
 FOLLOWING ORDER: (I) AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE; (II) AN
 ACCESSIBLE ROUTE TO THE ALTERED AREA; (III) AT LEAST
 ONE ACCESSIBLE RESTROOM FOR EACH SEX OR A SINGLE UNISEX
 RESTROOM; (IV) ACCESSIBLE TELEPHONES; (V) ACCESSIBLE
 DRINKING FOUNTAINS; AND (VI) WHEN POSSIBLE, ADDITIONAL
 ACCESSIBLE ELEMENTS SUCH AS PARKING, STORAGE, AND
 ALARMS.
 202.4.3SERIES OF SMALLER ALTERATIONS.
 THE OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE AN ACCESSIBLE PATH OF TRAVEL
 MAY NOT BE EVADED BY PERFORMING A SERIES OF SMALL
 ALTERATIONS TO THE AREA SERVED BY A SINGLE PATH OF
 TRAVEL IF THOSE ALTERATIONS COULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED
 AS A SINGLE UNDERTAKING.
 202.4.3.1
 IF AN AREA CONTAINING A PRIMARY FUNCTION HAS BEEN
 ALTERED WITHOUT PROVIDING AN ACCESSIBLE PATH OF TRAVEL
 TO THAT AREA, AND SUBSEQUENT ALTERATIONS OF THAT AREA,
 OR A DIFFERENT AREA ON THE SAME PATH OF TRAVEL, ARE
 UNDERTAKEN WITHIN THREE YEARS OF THE ORIGINAL
 ALTERATION, THE TOTAL COST OF ALTERATIONS TO THE
 PRIMARY FUNCTION AREAS ON THAT PATH OF TRAVEL DURING
 THE PRECEDING THREE YEAR PERIOD SHALL BE CONSIDERED IN
 DETERMINING WHETHER THE COST OF MAKING THAT PATH OF
 TRAVEL ACCESSIBLE IS DISPROPORTIONATE.
