Questions for presenters:
| 1 |
I would like our city to adopt minimum accessibility standards for all new residential buildings to provide actual accessible homes to buy and to visit friends and family. I was told the building codes are not the place to require this, that the state restricts new requirements to not be "more restrictive" locally than the state requires. I counter that with universal design is expansive, not restrictive so local building codes could require accessibility without conflict with state law. |

With a few years of 2017 ANSI A117.1 in place how complicated has it been to design for compliance compared to ADA 2010 Standards? How well received has it been by code enforcement authorities who are using it? Has the disability community acknowledged the change? |

How are 2018 LSC Bathing and Shower requirements intended to work with 2010 ADA Standards? |

It seems like the standards for accessibility for vending machines are unclear. What is the current status of accessibility requirements for vending machines?

Please explain the difference in terminology between the IBC definition of ‘Accessible Means of Egress’ and that of the ADA Standards. The use in the IBC of the term “Accessible” is incredibly confusing with the term of art used in the ADA Standards… for example, stairs are allowed in an IBC AMOE, but the ADA definition does NOT allow stairs because the AMOE is required to also provide an Accessible Route. (AMOE Defined as "A continuous and unobstructed way of egress travel from any point in a building or facility that provides an accessible route to an area of refuge, a horizontal exit, or a public way.) |
