| | |
| | 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 ORIGINALLY BUILT AND DESIGNED |
| | UNDER THE FAIR HOUSING ACT GUIDELINES AND THE LEVEL OF |
| | ACCESSIBILITY CANNOT BE DECREASED. THE PLANNED |
| | ALTERATIONS TO THE MASTER BATH DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT GUIDELINES. IF YOU |
| | WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE PLEASE PROVIDE DRAWING THAT SHOW |
| | THE CLEAR FLOOR SPACE AND FOR FHA COMPLIANCE THAT |
| | PROVIDES THE TWO SETS OF SPECIFICATIONS TO DESIGN |
| | BATHROOMS THAT ARE 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 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 ONLY 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 THE CHANGING OF AN FHA |
| | COMPLIANCE STRUCTURE. THE OWNER AND DESIGNER OF RECORD |
| | ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROPOSED BATHROOM DESIGN DOES NOT |
| | MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACCESSIBILITY |
| | GUIDELINES. 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. |
| | |
| | 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. |
