RE: Scriber Lake High School Remodel and Use of Uni-Sex Toilet Rooms
VIA FACSIMILE
Dear Mr. Kent,
In response to your letter dated May 7, 2007 stating technically infeasible for existing
toilet room upgrades please direct your attention to WAC Amendment 34.09.7.9 which
states, `where it is technically infeasible to alter existing toilet and bathing facilities to be
accessible an accessible unisex toilet or bathing room is permitted... You have not proven
that the remodeling of existing toilet rooms is technically infeasible (please refer to IBC
3402 definition of technically infeasible). Therefore the request is denied. Please revise
drawings to show accessible toilet room compliance in all existing toilet room facilities.
Also, since you plan on using the 20% rule (WAC 3409.6 Exception 1) for accessible
upgrades the City shall require a written engineer's estimate for the total project work and
L � th uecessible upgrades, in. order to determine
contractors gids for eac« port���.�, o.�F :.�
compliance to the required minimum 20% upgrade. This should be immediately
provided to the City for review.
Sincerely,
(;A-*�
