Re: Emanuel Baptist Church
Dear Mr. Starke:
As you are aware, the Architectural Barriers Advisory Committee
considered your request on 8/29/77 for waiver of handicap access
to the upper level of the subject new church building,
After discussion, the Cow~ittee voted to disallow the request,
with the clarification that a ramp, elevator, "chair lift", or
"porch lift" could be utilized for access to the second floor.
This is predicated on the subject building's being a "public"
building as defined in ORS 447, more than 4000 sq,ft. in area
and 20 ft. or more in height (floor to ceiling).
Sincerely,
Waiver Disallowed
