Mr. Troy R. Cook, Chairman <br />Mr. Ralph C. Bonds, Co~nissioner <br />Miss Marcelle Milloway, Commissioner <br />rY. James W. Lentz, Commissioner <br />Mr. J. Ray Allen, Commissioner <br />Cabarrus County <br />Post Office Box 707 <br />Concord, North Carolina 28025 <br /> <br />RE: Cabarrus County Ambulance Station <br /> Cabarrus County, Concord, North Carolina <br /> <br />Dear Co~missioners, <br /> <br />Your letter, dated December 12, 1979, to Mr. William Cherkas has been <br />referred to me for response. This office makes every effort to ensure <br />successful solutions to problems of accessibility to handicapped per- <br />sons without undue hardships to building owners. In my opinion, the <br />solutions we would have suggested to comply with the code ~uld have been <br />much simpler if the plans had been submitted at an earlier stage in the <br />design process. <br /> <br />We strongly reco~end your installing a small toilet,' similar to the one <br />in the attached illustration, on the lower level of the buildinm This <br />will afford convenience to those working in this area as well aZ providing <br />reasonable accomodation for a handicapped person in this area, whether <br />working or when the building is used during fund raising events (barbeques, <br />etc.) or by touring school groups. With increasing pressure from federal <br />sources, the necessity of such provisions may be more apparent. <br /> <br />Showers need not have a seat, which could be installed at a later time, as <br />could a flexible hose for the shower head. If Door 100 is continually <br />available - for instance, by employees using keys during "off" hours - the <br />current provisions should be sufficient. <br /> <br /> <br />
