Attachment K: Program Access in Existing Facilities

 

 

Please Note: Paragraph 50 of the Agreement requires that within three months of the effective date of this Agreement, the Pike County Fiscal Court will provide signage as necessary to comply with 28 C.F.R. § 35.163(b), after having surveyed all facilities that are the subject of this Agreement for the purpose of identifying those that have multiple entrances not all of which are accessible.

The technical requirements and, where appropriate, the scoping requirements of the Standards are used as a guide for determining whether a program or activity held in an existing facility is "readily accessible to and usable by" persons with disabilities and for determining what changes are necessary to make this program or activity accessible if it continues to be provided in the existing facility in question. See 28 C.F.R. §§ 35.150(b)(1), 35.151.

In order to ensure that each of the Pike County Fiscal Court's programs, services, and activities operating at a facility that is the subject of this Agreement, when viewed in its entirety, are readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities, the Pike County Fiscal Court will take the following actions:

1. Provision of accessible passenger vans: Although the County has eight 15-passenger vans that serve the seven senior citizen centers, none of the vans are accessible to persons who use wheelchairs. If a passenger van is purchased to serve the County's senior citizens during the life of this Agreement, the County will acquire at least one passenger van with a wheelchair lift to provide program access. Additionally, the County will implement policies to ensure the accessible van's availability to persons who use wheelchairs. In the interim, within 180 days of the effective date of this Agreement, the County shall identify an accessible means of transportation that will transport people who use disabilities to ensure their equal participation in the Fiscal Court's activities. 28 C.F.R. § 36.202(b).

2. Within eighteen months of the effective date of this Agreement, the County will complete the following modifications to the Belfry Courthouse, located at 25320 U.S. Highway. 119, Belfry:

a. Parking: Although the parking lot has a total of 53 parking spaces, including 2 designated as accessible, three accessible parking spaces are required, no van accessible parking space is provided, no access aisle is profided at either of the designated accessible parking spaces, and no vertical signage is provided at either designated accessible parking space. On the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrance, provide 1 van accessible space and 2 standard spaces designated as reserved for people with disabilities. Ensure that standard accessible spaces are a minimum of 96 inches wide and served by access aisles at least 60 inches wide. Ensure that van accessible spaces are a minimum of 96 inches wide and served by access aisles at least 96 inches wide. At all spaces designated as reserved for persons with disabilities, provide vertical signs with the International Symbol of Accessibility located such that they cannot be obstructed by parked vehicles. At van accessible spaces, provide an additional "Van-Accessible" sign located below the International Symbol of Accessibility. Ensure that all spaces and access aisles for persons with disabilities are flat and level, with slopes and cross-slopes not exceeding 1:50 in all directions, and that their surfaces are firm, stable, and slip-resistant. Standards §§ 4.1.2(5), 4.6, 4.30.7(1).

b. Signage at exterior entrances: The building is inaccessible because there is no signage provided at inaccessible entrances directing users to the accessible entrance, and no signage at accessible entrances designating them as accessible. Provide accessible directional signage with the International Symbol of Accessibility at inaccessible entrances directing users to the accessible entrance, and provide accessible signage with the International Symbol of Accessibility at all permanent accessible entrances. Standards §§ 4.1.3(8)(d), 4.13, 4.30.

c. Main (front) entrance: The built-up curb ramp that connects the parking lot surface to the landing outside of the main entry door is not firm, stable, and slip-resistant, the bottom edge has an abrupt vertical rise, and it is obstructed by parked vehicles. Provide a curb ramp that is at least 36 inches wide, has a maximum slope of 1:12, is located so that it cannot be obstructed by parked vehicles, and has a stable, firm, and slip-resistant surface with a detectable warning extending the full width and depth of the ramp. If the curb ramp is located where pedestrians must walk across it, provide either flared sides (with a maximum slope of 1:10) or handrails or guardrails to protect against cross traffic. Standards § 4.3.8, 4.7, Fig. 12.

d. Rear entrance

i. Where the parking lot surface connects to the landing outside of the rear entry door, there is a 1 ½ inch change in level. Provide at least one accessible route within the boundary of the site connecting these elements that, to the maximum extent feasible, coincides with the route for the general public. The accessible route must have a minimum clear width of 36 inches, or a minimum clear width of 42 inches if there is a turn around an obstruction less than 48 inches wide; have passing spaces at least 60 inches by 60 inches at least every 200 feet; have a minimum clear headroom of 80 inches; have a surface that is firm, stable, and slip resistant; have, in the absence of a curb ramp, ramp, elevator, or platform lift, no level changes in excess of ½ inch vertically; and have a running slope of less than 1:20 (5%) (or have been constructed as a fully accessible ramp) and a cross slope of less than 1:50 (2%). Standards §§ 4.3, 4.5, Fig. 7.

ii. The rear entrance door, which is accessed by a front approach and has a closer and a latch, has insufficient space at the latch on the push side of the door. On the push side of the door, provide maneuvering clearance at least 48 inches deep and provide a minimum of 12 inches of maneuvering clearance on the latch side of the door, or remove the closer or the latch. Alternatively, provide an automatic door opener located on an accessible route. Standards § 4.13.6, Fig. 25(a).

e. Permanent room signage: Throughout the facility, the permanent room signage provided does not comply with the Standards. Provide permanent room signage with upper case, sans serif or simple serif type letters and numerals, meeting the requirements of the Standards for character height, raised characters, finish and contrast, accompanied by Grade 2 Braille; mounted on the wall adjacent to the latch side of the door or on the nearest adjacent wall at a height of 60 inches above the finished floor to the centerline of the sign; and located so that a person may approach within 3 inches of the signage without encountering protruding objects or standing within the swing of a door. Standards §§ 4.30.1, 4.30.4, 4.30.5, 4.30.6.

f. Door hardware throughout facility: Throughout the facility, interior doors have knob hardware that requires tight grasping and twisting of the wrist to operate. Provide a door with hardware that is easy to grasp with one hand and that does not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist to operate. Lever-operated mechanisms, push-type mechanisms, and U-shaped handles are acceptable designs. Standards § 4.13.9.

g. Lobby drinking fountain: Although a drinking fountain is provided, there is no accessible drinking fountain because it does not have adequate knee clearance. In addition, no access is provided for persons who have trouble bending or stooping. Provide at least one drinking fountain with a spout height no higher than 36 inches, measured from the finished floor or ground surface to the spout outlet; and a spout located at the front of the unit that directs the water flow in a trajectory that is nearly parallel to the front of the unit and is positioned so the flow of water is within 3 inches of the front edge of the fountain and at least 4 inches high, or provide a cup dispenser within accessible reach ranges. Ensure that fountain controls are operable with one hand, require 5 lbf or less to operate without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist; and are front mounted or side mounted near the front edge. Additionally, provide a drinking fountain that is accessible to people who have difficulty bending or stooping. This can be accommodated by the use of a "hi-lo" fountain; by providing one fountain accessible to those who use wheelchairs and one fountain at a standard height convenient for those who have difficulty bending; by providing a fountain accessible to people who use wheelchairs and a cup dispenser; or by such other means as would achieve the required accessibility for each group of people. Standards §§ 4.15, 4.27.4, Fig. 27.

h. Counters: The top of the counters in the main lobby, County Clerk's Office, and Solid Waste Office are 40-42 inches above the finished floor.
