| | |
| | 1. THIS IS THE THIRD REVIEW. THE SUBMITTED LETTER |
| | RESPONSES TO THE PREVIOUS COMMENTS ARE NOTED. ALL |
| | INFORMATIONAL COMMENTS PROVIDED IN THE FIRST REVIEW |
| | STILL APPLY. |
| | |
| | 2. LOCATION OF ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES. A SCANNED |
| | MARK UP OF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTION DESCRIBED BELOW CAN |
| | BE MADE AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO THE ACTIVE USE |
| | DIAGRAMS, SHEET A0.06, AND EXISTING PARKING GARAGE |
| | PARKING COUNT, SHEET A0.11, ACCESS TO THE RESIDENTIAL |
| | OCCUPANCY WILL BE VIA THE HIBISCUS ST DOORS TO THE 1ST |
| | FLOOR LOBBY, OR VIA THE LEVEL 2 (PARKING LEVEL 3) |
| | BRIDGE FROM THE PARKING GARAGE. GIVEN THE CONVENIENCE |
| | AND WEATHER PROTECTION OFFERED BY THE LEVEL 2 (PARKING |
| | LEVEL 3) BRIDGE, AND THE TRAVEL DISTANCE FROM CAR TO |
| | RESIDENTIAL UNIT BEING SHORTER, AT LEAST 50% OF THE |
| | RESIDENTIAL SPACE OCCUPANTS WOULD BE EXPECTED TO USE |
| | THE BRIDGE TO GO FROM THE PARKING GARAGE TO THE NEW |
| | BUILDING. YET ONLY 29% (2 OUT OF 7) OF THE ACCESSIBLE |
| | PARKING SPACES REQUIRED BY FAIR HOUSING ACT ARE THE |
| | CLOSEST PARKING SPACES TO THE BRIDGE. AS STATED IN THE |
| | PREVIOUS REVIEW, THAT MEANS THAT SOME PEOPLE NEEDING |
| | ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES WILL BE TRAVELING FURTHER TO |
| | ACCESS THE BUILDING THAN PEOPLE WHO DO NOT NEED |
| | ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES. THEY WILL ALSO BE MORE |
| | EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC IF THEY |
| | TAKE THE ELEVATOR TO GROUND AND THEN CROSS THE STREET. |
| | CONSIDERING THE PROBABILITY THAT THE OCCUPANTS OF AT |
| | LEAST 50% OF THE RESIDENTIAL SPACE OCCUPANTS WILL |
| | ACCESS THE NEW BUILDING VIA THE LEVEL 2 BRIDGE, AT |
| | LEAST 4 OF THE 7 ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES REQUIRED BY |
| | FAIR HOUSING ACT SHOULD BE LOCATED AS THE CLOSEST |
| | PARKING SPACES TO THE BRIDGE ENTRANCE, BUT ONLY 2 ARE |
| | CURRENTLY SHOWN AS ACCESSIBLE. |
| | SUGGESTION: IF THE EXISTING SOUTH-EAST PARKING "END |
| | CAP" THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE BRIDGE WERE TO BE USED TO |
| | MOVE THE DRIVE LANES CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF THE |
| | PARKING GARAGE BUILDING, THAT MAY PROVIDE ENOUGH SPACE |
| | TO ADD TWO MORE ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES ALONG THE |
| | SOUTH WALL NEXT TO THE ONE ALREADY PROVIDED. THE |
| | WHEELCHAIR ACCESS AISLE COULD THEN BE AGAINST THE |
| | EXTERIOR WALL AND PROTECTED BY BOLLARDS/WHEEL STOPS. |
| | THE SUBJECT EXISTING SOUTH-EAST PARKING "END CAP" THAT |
| | IS CLOSEST TO THE BRIDGE IS PROBABLY JUST A PAINTED OUT |
| | AREA OF SLAB THAT COULD BE USED TO REALIGN THE DRIVE |
| | LANES. ALSO, THE ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACE THAT IS |
| | ALREADY SHOWN COULD HAVE ITS ACCESS AISLE MOVED TO THE |
| | WEST SIDE OF THE PARKING SPACE SO THAT THE PARKING |
| | SPACE CAN BE MOVED TO THE EAST AND THE ACCESS AISLE |
| | SHARED WITH THE NEXT ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACE THAT THIS |
| | SUGGESTION WOULD ADD. A SCANNED MARK UP OF THIS |
| | SUGGESTION HAS BEEN SENT TO ERIC SCHNEIDER BY EMAIL SO |
| | THAT HE CAN MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO YOU. |
| | PER SECTION 208.3 OF FLORIDA ACCESSIBILITY CODE, |
| | ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES ARE TO BE LOCATED ON THE |
| | SHORTEST POSSIBLE ROUTE OF TRAVEL FROM ADJACENT PARKING |
| | TO AN ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE. THE DESIGN OF ACCESSIBLE |
| | PARKING SPACES SHALL COMPLY WITH SECTION 502 OF FLORIDA |
| | ACCESSIBILITY CODE |
