Re: Height Exception
719 Presidential Drive
Elevator Hoist Way
', Proposed Height Exception From 30' to 32"6"
Dear Mr. Rumpfi
Following are the responses to the questionnaire with regard to the above-mentioned
request for height exception:
ao
Height exception will not have any adverse effect and, in fact, will have less
impact due to a smaller footprint than alternative means, (i.e., circular stairs).
Height exception is necessary to provide egress and to comply with elevator
manufacturer's requirement, (i.e., safety conditions above cabin). See letter
fi-om Palm Beach Lites, Inc. attached.
c. Due to the location (rear of property), smaller footprint and relatively small
height increase (2.5'), no reduction in air and light will result.
do
This height exception is addressed under your Exception F. Height Limitation
and Exceptions (2) and, therefore, not a deterrent to improvement of adjacent
property. Adjacent properties are C.O.d.
e. Property values will, in fact, be improved as tkis elevator will add value to the
subject property and, hence, the adjoining properties, as well.
f. No adverse living conditions will result from the 5'x5'x2.5' addition.
g. The public welfare will not be compromised by this exception. This
exception is well within the scope allowed by code.

ATTENTION: Max
Re: Height Exception 719 Presidential Ddve,
Per your request, following are the options we pursued prior to settling on the existing
elevator:
1. WHEELCHAIR LIFTS - We reviewed this possibility only to find that State
law prohibits their use beyond twelve feet.
2. CIRCULAR STAIRS - Prevented handicap access and protruded
negatively into side yard setback, (Original permit.)
2. EXTERIOR ELEVATORS - Lacked sufficient lift travel and not available for
use in the salt air environment.
We believe that the plan we propose overcomes all of the above objections and
solves the problem with a minimum of impact.
Ve~/truly yours,
WILLIAMS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, INC.
