Re: Plan Check #2006-0990
ADA Accessibility to Main Entry
Pursuant to item number 7 of the Plan Review Comments dated December 1, 2006 from Ann
Bullis, please accept this letter and the attached documentation per IBC section 104.15 as our
proposed Alternate Design Criteria for accessibility to main entry.
The entry to the building is an existing alcove that does not meet current ADA accessibility
requirements; however, it is in like design to other contiguous storefront entries. Attached are
photos of the existing entry (#1), adjacent storefront (#2) and overall street perspective (#3). This
project proposes an Alternate Design for accessibility to main entry by providing an exterior door
buzzer with an annunciator inside the space to acknowledge that assistance is needed. Persons
in need of entry assistance shall be notified via signage to push the call button located per photo
#3, this will activate a chime announcement inside the tenant space for an employee to provide
the assistance.
Please accept this package as the Alternate Design for the above referenced Plan Check number
and let us know if further information is needed. We appreciate your consideration to this matter.
Sincerely,
Eric S. VanAtta
