| | FBC FLORIDA BUILDING CODE 5TH EDITION |
| | |
| | PLEASE SEE THE TWO REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION IN ITEM #2. |
| | THIS INFORMATION MAY BE SENT VIA EMAIL. SINCE THE NEXT |
| | REVIEW WILL BE THE 7TH FOR THE PROPOSED ACCESSIBLE |
| | SPACES LAYOUT, YOUR RESPONSE ALONG WITH THE MOST RECENT |
| | RESUBMITTAL WILL BE TAKEN TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL FOR |
| | A DECISION REGARDING THE LOCATION OF THE ACCESSIBLE |
| | SPACES. SOME INFORMATION IN THIS REVIEW ARE FOR |
| | INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. |
| | |
| | 1. SEE FBC 2014 ACCESSIBLITY 202.3 (ALTERATIONS), 208 |
| | (PARKING SPACES), 502 (PARKING SPACES), 206 (ACCESSIBLE |
| | ROUTE). |
| | |
| | YOU MAY FIND THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT USEFUL, |
| | PARTICULARLY THE INTRODUCTION: "WHEN A BUSINESS |
| | RESTRIPES A PARKING LOT, IT MUST PROVIDE ACCESSIBLE |
| | PARKING SPACES AS REQUIRED BY THE ADA STANDARDS FOR |
| | ACCESSIBLE DESIGN." THERE IS A STATEMENT ON THE PLAN - |
| | "SAME TO SAME". IT IS NOT CLEAR IF THIS WAS REVIEWED OR |
| | APPROVED BY THIS BUILDING DIVISION AND NON-COMPLIANT |
| | CONDITIONS ARE REQUIRED TO BE CORRECTED WHEN RESTRIPED |
| | (EVEN IF INADVERTENTLY APPROVED BY THIS OR ANOTHER |
| | BUILDING DIVISION). THE THREE BUILDINGS WERE COMPLETED |
| | IN 2004 AND 2006 (PER PAPA, SO SHOULD BE 100% COMPLIANT |
| | WITH ADA). IN THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH, SEPARATE |
| | PERMITS ARE REQUIRED FOR PARKING LOTS AND RESTRIPES. IT |
| | APPEARS THAT THE THREE BUILDINGS AND ASSOCIATED PARKING |
| | LOT(S) WERE CONSTRUCTED WHEN UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF |
| | PALM BEACH COUNTY, AND ANNEXED AT SOME TIME AFTER 2004. |
| | |
| | BASED ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, SEVEN SPACES ARE |
| | REQUIRED, NINE PROVIDED. |
| | |
| | HTTP://WWW.ADA.GOV/RESTRIPE.HTM |
| | |
| | 2. THE NUMBER OF UNITS (TENANT SPACES) FOR EACH |
| | BUILDING WERE NOT SHOWN (SEE PREVIOUS LISTS REQUESTING |
| | LOCATIONS OF ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCES). ALTHOUGH THE SITE |
| | PLAN DESIGNATES TWO OF THE BUILDINGS AS "GENERAL REPAIR |
| | AND MAINTENANCE", THESE BUILDINGS ARE AUTOMOTIVE |
| | SERVICE OR REPAIR FACILITIES, CONSIDERED "PLACES OF |
| | PUBLIC ACCOMODATION" AND NOT EXEMPT FROM ACCESSIBILITY |
| | (TIRE STORE, OIL CHANGE, AUTO REPAIR). |
| | |
| | EITHER REVISE THE LOCATION OF ACCESSIBLE SPACES OR |
| | EXPLAIN WHY THE FOLLOWING SPACES ARE NOT DESIGNATED AS |
| | ACCESSIBLE. SEE FBC 208.3, LOCATION: "PARKING SPACES |
| | COMPLYING WITH 502 THAT SERVE A PARTICULAR BUILDING OR |
| | FACILITY SHALL BE ON THE SHORTEST ACCESSIBLE ROUTE FROM |
| | PARKING TO AN ENTRANCE COMPLYING WITH 206.4." ALSO IN |
| | THIS SECTION: "WHERE PARKING SERVES MORE THAN ONE |
| | ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE, PARKING SPACES COMPLYING WITH 502 |
| | SHALL BE DISPERSED AND LOCATED ON THE SHORTEST |
| | ACCESSIBLE ROUTE TO THE ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCES. IF THERE |
| | ARE MULTIPLE ENTRANCES FOR MULTIPLE RETAIL STORES THE |
| | PARKING SPACES MUST BE DISPERSED TO PROVIDE PARKING AT |
| | THE NEAREST ACCESSIBLE ENTRANCE." |
| | |
| | THE "GENERAL REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE (16 BAYS)" BUILDING |
| | HAS ONE SPACE WHICH IS NOT IN FRONT OF A PULL THROUGH |
| | SERVICE BAY (PER PHOTOGRAPHS AVAILABLE ON INTERNET AND |
| | PHOTOGRAPH PROVIDED WITH THE PLAN). PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY |
| | THIS ONE SPACE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE. THE TWO SPACES SHOWN |
| | AS SERVING THIS THREE TENANT BUILDING ARE LOCATED |
| | ACROSS THE VEHICULAR WAY AND DO NOT APPEAR TO BE ON THE |
| | SHORTEST ACCESSIBLE ROUTE. |
| | |
| | THE "GENERAL REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE (7 BAYS)" BUILDING |
| | HAS A PARKING SPACE ADJACENT TO THE BUILDING. PLEASE |
| | EXPLAIN WHY THIS ONE SPACE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE. THE TWO |
| | SPACES SHOWN AS SERVING THIS BUILDING (NUMBER OF |
| | TENANTS NOT KNOWN) AND THE "INLINE RETAIL & QUALITY |
| | RESTAURANT" BUILDING ARE LOCATED FIVE SPACES AWAY FROM |
| | THE AREA AT THE END OF THE ACCESSIBLE ROUTE (GENERAL |
| | REPAIR) AND IS NOT NEAR THE "INLINE RETAIL" BUILDING. |
| | AS THE USER PASSES THESE FIVE SPACES TO REACH THE |
| | "GENERAL REPAIR" BUILDING, AND IS NOT ADJACENT TO THE |
| | "RETAIL" BUILDING, THESE TWO SPACES DO NOT APPEAR TO BE |
| | ON THE SHORTEST ROUTE. |
| | |
| | EITHER REVISE THE PLAN TO INCLUDE THE TWO ACCESSIBLE |
| | SPACES REQUESTED OR PROVIDE A RESPONSE EXPLAINING WHY |
| | THESE TWO SPACES ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE. |
