I'd like w addreas the issue of handicap accessible design as provided fa in 1997 Chapta <br /> I1 of the Uniform 9uilding Code. In our projxt,the eaureat ratroonu,labeled B101A,B102A, <br /> B103A,B104A,B1�JSA,B106A and B107A ane for uae by pn.+echool aod kinderga�tea aged <br /> c6ildren�ly. lhis excludes rooms B112A a�B114A,w6ich ue ioteoded for adulb auirting <br /> infants and toddlers. <br /> As yw know,because ody one restroom ia provided for in each clauroom,the code indicata <br /> that it sharld be"accessible"as deSned by Uu guidelinea provided for witLin t6e code(sxtion <br /> 1105). I wa�ld argue that bacauae the intended usan of these facalitia ue yaung �hildcea,the <br /> guidelines provided for in tho UBC aze inapProP�iate and make unfair demanda upon the uaeca <br /> limited deaderity and size. Uafonunately,t6e code does not taloe childrea'a needs in to account <br /> when addressing Sxwre height,siu,or cleaiances. Even a child who faca the unfoi4�oate <br /> challenges of requiring a whcelchair or ather speciai device hsa dig�re�t nceds than an aduh. <br /> Therefon,I would like p.-m�iesicn to provide for d�e nads of the childran at Notdis6ore <br /> Christian hy providing them with Extures that med their spacial�. TLaugh the�uoana <br /> will remain the aame dimeasiaos as shown on the plan,allowing for sdult aatiatance,tl►e 5xtura <br /> provided will be at a moro aPProPliate acale. I feel this will provide for less fiucaatian aod nad <br /> for assiatsnce and provide a sa6er eavironmert free of atep stoola,de... <br /> Please consider my request when reviewing our plans. I would approciate a wriGan nxponse at <br /> your conveaience.
