RESOLUTION GRANTING APPEAL FROM DECISION OF THE BUILDING
OFFICIAL CONCERNING HANDICAPPED ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
(114 North Santa Cruz Avenue - St. Honore)
WHEREAS:
1. Arthur K. Yeap on behalf of St. Honore has appealed a decision of
the Building Official as follows: requiring a handicapped accessible
sanitary facility for the reiiiodeled store at 114 North Santa Cruz Avenue;
and
2. A public hearing was held by the Town Council on September 17,
1984.
IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED:
1. The Town Council hereby finds that an unreasonable hardship exists
in requiring a handicapped accessible sanitary facility as follows:
a. The total area of space for the store is less than
200 square feet and the width of the store is seven
feet;
b. The cost to modify the sanitary facility to meet the
handicapped accessible regulations of Title 24 of the
California Administrative Code is estimated to be
between $2000 - $5000; and
C. Construction of a handicapped accessible sanitary facil-
ity is physically impractical because of the size and
width of the store and would result in usage of approx-
imately one -half of the square footage of the store area
for the sanitary facility.
2. Based on the foregoing findings, the appeal is granted as follows:
a. The sanitary facility serving the remodeled area need
not be modified to comply with the handicapped acces-
sibility regulations of Title 24 of the California
Administrative Code.
b. The front entrance of the store must be modified to
provide level landing at both sides and a minimum 32-
inch clear opening.
Pursuant to Los Gatos Town Code Section 1 -15, the time for seeking
judicial review of the Town Council decision is governed by California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6.
