FFC is requesting <br />an encroachment into the setback up to the property line plus an additional18 inches in <br />order to build the ramp. Gi�en the height of the front stairs and the gentle slope towards <br />the street, FFC needs this approval to construct the ramp with a 1:12 slope with a 5' <br />turning radius platform when it right angles towards the driveway (see attached site <br />plan). If this encroachment request is reduced or denied, it will require that the ramp <br />going directly to the driveway be extended in order to meet the 1:12 slope and ADA <br />requirements. Any extension of this section to the driveway, depending on the distance, <br />will push the ramp onto the driveway. Also, any encroachment reduction will bring the <br />section of the ramp going directly to the driveway closer to the front steps. <br />For both safety and ADA compliance, this encroachment request is necessary. <br />FFC is a non-profit organization that supports people with developmental disabilities. <br />This house purchase with funded from the State Housing Trust Fund. FFC will be <br />requesting Everett CHIP program funding to assist with some of the house renovations. <br />The tenants will receive 24/7 support and training services from Volunteers of America. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions about the wheelchair ramp or the project. <br />Sincerely, <br />Michael Pollowitz <br />Project Manager <br />
