Alternate Material(s) and/or Method(s) Application <br /> Marion County Public Works <br /> Marion 5155 Silverton Rd NE <br /> County Salem OR 97305 <br /> OREGON <br /> Phone: (503)588-5147 Fax:(503)588-7948 E-mail:BuLlitngAgiLmarion.or.us <br /> DESCRIBE WHY,HOW,ETC. THE PROPOSED ALTERNATE IS EQUIVALENT AND MEETS THE <br /> INTENT OF THE CODE IN TERMS OF"STRENGTH,EFFECTIVENESS,FIRE RESISTANCE, <br /> DURABILITY,:HEALTH,AND SAFETY": <br /> Shower seat:The shower seat will be provided by the facility whenever requested or required by the <br /> resident. Portable shower seats will provide better accessibility and flexibility than fixed seats. <br /> Shower controls and hand showers:In this assisted living and memory care facility,residents typically <br /> require more assistance than the general population,and controls at the end wall provide more functional <br /> access to both the residents and the assisting staff;no accessibility is reduced. In addition,controls <br /> accessible from outside the 36"-deep shower compartment may reduce the possibility of accident and <br /> injury. <br /> Strength,fire resistance and durability are unaffected. <br /> LIST SUBSTANTIATING EVIDENCE(REPORTS,STUDIES,ETC)—ATTACH COPIES OF DOCUMENTATION <br /> This requirement regarding shower seats and controls is one where ANSI and ADAAG requirements differ. <br /> ADAAG 2004 Advisory 608.5.2 allows standard roll-in type showers without seats,and shower head and <br /> operable parts installed on any of the three walls. Please see attached comparison. <br /> I hereby request approval to use an alternate material(s)and/or method(s)from that required by code as described above. <br /> Signed: Patrice Anderson,Steele Associates Architects Date: October 76,2014 <br /> OFFICE USE ONLY <br /> ❑ Approved Proposal Goes no4- pro✓tTLe Srnbs4anlnoJly eyuivafeet <br /> ❑ Approved with conditions Br r+rea4er prress,S )I- s.4 eS5C I let I <br /> %Denied J =-- <br /> Signed: e — j"(/ Date: / /9 /ZO /9— <br /> Page 2 of 2 <br /> G WORMSVILDG\B-37Mtemate Material or Method Request doc <br />
