Mark Casey appeared before the Board stating they have been working on this project over one year. The project consists of 56 units, 7 each 8 plexs, 28 units on the second story and 28 units on the ground level, 14 one bedrooms and 14 two bedrooms. Dave Lengel, with the Neenan Company, stated the overall concept was that 28 units would be adaptable units. The issue is in the two bedrooms units, the 3/4 bath would not be fully accessible, although the other full bath would be fully accessible. Mr. Lengel stated it was not feasible to enlarge the units and if this appeal was not granted the 3/4 bath would be made into a walk-in closet. Brad Massy, architect, stated the layout of this project was unique with the 3/4 bath having a 13' clear radius inside and the -adaptable sink. The 3/4 bath would be lacking the required clear floor space in front of the stool and a required space for a full grab bar. Board member Cotterman asked if the builder could put extra blocking in that bathroom so a grab bar could be installed if desired. The appellants indicated they could. Felix Lee distributed a copy of section of the code 3105(b) 2 that states toilet facilities must comply with ANSI standards. Board member Cotterman asked the appellants if this project had any relationship with Affordable Housing. The appellants stated they were seeking information and help with that issue.

Diane Rehmer, chairperson of The Commission on Disability, appeared before the Board. She stated it appeared this project has a larger number of units than most. She added that the issue of the 3/4 bath was a flexible one because the units already had one full bath that was completely accessible. Board member Goldrich moved to approve this appeal. Board member Kruel-Froseth seconded the appeal. Yeas: Goldrich, Hansch, Meleski, Sutton, Cornell, Cotterman, Kruel-Froseth. Nayes: None. The motion passed. Other Business: Felix briefed the Board on a meeting held with the Commission on Disability regarding the review of the local amendment 3103(a) 8, residential accessible units. Board chairman Sutton added the Commission will visit this issue independently and will report back to BRB at a later date. Mike Gebo of the Building Department offered to meet with the Commission and suggested the sub -committees from COD and BRB meet before reporting to this Board. The meeting was adjourned.
