RE: FLORENCE DENTAL, 41 Main Street, Florence hnawtooN r „ 1. The hearing was held upon a complaint and subsequent variance in regards to the following Rules and Regulations of the Architectural Access Board: Section 28.12.5 — General (Elevators), Time Variance 2. The hearing was held on: Monday, January 26, 2004. 3. The following persons appeared: Alan Verson, attorney for the owner; and George Falk, owner. Mr. George Falk was sworn in by the Chairman and the hearing was called to order at 10:30 a.m. 4. JURISDICTION: The Board took jurisdiction over the facility under Section 3.3.la, in that the work costs less tha $100,000, therefore only the work being performed is required to comply with 521 CMR. 5. FINDINGS AND DECISION: The Board having considered the evidence hereby decides and finds as follows: Mr. Alan Verson started by stating that the building housed a small dental practice of three denti s, including Mr. Falk, whose practices are all on the second floor of the building. The variance was being req ested for the re-installation of the stair climber. Mr. Verson stated that there is no other construction occurrin:. at the facility and that the stair climber was being installed as an accommodation for the patients of Florence D-ntal. He explained that a chairlift was installed in 1995, and then was ordered to be removed when the An hitectural Access Board found that it was installed without a variance being granted for its use. Mr. Verso noted that upon the removal of the chairlift many of the patients requested that the lift be reinstalled becaus, of their trouble with traversing the stairs that access the dental offices. He went on to state that the stairs ere directly at the main entrance door which abuts the parking lot. The petitioners stated that they had Tooke• into other lifts, such as vertical and incline lifts, but added that the installation of these lifts would require ajor V P reconstruction and would cost approximately$65,500 without including the moving of the utility ines. Mr. Verson added that if a major construction did have to occur it would require that the building be c osed during construction which would result in an additional loss in revenue. He also noted that there would e a problem if the building extended into the parking lot in anyway since they were not allowed to reduce the am unt of available parking spaces per the Planning Board. In total, Mr. Verson stated that the project woul cost approximately$100,000 for the installation of a compliant lift. At this point, Mr. Verson read se eral letters into the record from patients of Florence Dental, requesting that a stair climber be reinstalled in t building. Mr. Verson then reiterated that the petitioners are not required to install any form of access to the econd floor but are doing so as an accommodation for their patients. At this point, Mr. Garry Rhodes, Chairman of the Board, opened the Hearing to questions from mOmbers of the Board. Mr. Paul Moriarty questioned the application for the 1996 building permit. Mr. Verson stilted that this was the application for the installation of the stair lift. Mr. Moriarty then asked if there was only One stairway in the building, to which Mr. George Falk stated that there were two stairs, the main stair and the sedondary stair which was used as a private employee entrance and emergency exit. Mr. Moriarty then asked whfire a person would store there wheelchair if they were to use the chairlift to the second floor, requiring them td leave the wheelchair on the ground floor. Mr. Falk stated that there was a standard wheelchair at the top of'the stairs,' noting that some chairs are carried up the stairs by employees of the dental offices, adding that the employees also assist people to their cars. Mr. Moriarty then asked if there was a call button to call the chair down to the ground floor. Mr. Falk stated that the chairlift that was proposed was key operated, but that when the bell was rung a person would assist with the operation and use of the chairlift, noting that many of the people that utilize the chairlift do so independently. Mr. Moriarty then questioned how much room the chairlift too up along the stairway in order to assure that there was a compliant stair width for egress. Mr. Falk stated that t e building inspector stated that the stair width was compliant. Mr. Verson stated that there was a letter subm'tted from the building inspector, stating that the chair lift protrudes 13 1/2inches when folded, leaving 34 inches of width, adding that the chair was folded up when not in use to create a wider stairway. Mr. Gregory Care 1 then asked if the petitioners had a parking plan to demonstrate why the removal of parking would be such a pro lem. Mr. Verson stated that there is such limited parking that Mr. Falk is required to provide off-site parkin as well. He added that the work would be technologically feasible but it would be an excessive cost to Mr. Fa k to install a full elevator or a lift due to the fact that the building would have to be closed during construction ince there is only one.main entrance to the building. Ms. Myra Berloff then added that under Mass. General L ws, the Zoning Boards often have to defer to the Access Laws, which would remedy the parking situation She then asked if there were accessible parking spaces in the parking lot provided. Mr. Falk stated that the4ie was a side of the building that was reserved for accessible parking. Mr. Gregory Carell then stated that he was concerned with the matter of upholding the Board's precedence in regards to the installation of chairlifts, since the Board usually does not allow such a lift. He adde that this case was an exception since this is the only work being done and is proposed to be installed at the request of the clientele. Mr. Moriarty stated that he would be okay with the installation of the chairlift in this sit ation, adding that if any other work is done the work will need to comply in full with 521 CMR. Ms. Berloff thn expressed concern with if the building was ever sold noting that the variance would be for this owner only. Ms. Berloff then made a motion to GRANT the variance request for the installation of the chairlift at the stairs for this owner/use only on the condition that no other work is performed. She added that if any other permits were pulled for work to be done at this building, then any work performed would need to fully comply with 521 CMR. Mr. Moriarty then asked if the language could be changed to apply to this tenant/use only, which Ms. Berloff accepted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Jerry LeBlanc and carried unanimously upon a vote from the Board. A true copy attests: 2 1 The Board voted to waive the site visit. This constitutes a final order of the Architectural Access Board entered pursuant to G.L. c. 30A. Any aggrieved person may appeal this decision to the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pursuant to Section 14 of G.L. c.30A. Any appeal must be filed in court no later than thirty(30) days of receipt of this decision.

APPLICATION FOR VARIANCE Question 9. I have been trying to provide access to my office for handicapped patients since 1995. I previously filed an application for a variance to install a stairclimber chairlift, and the application was denied by decision dated April 29, 1996. Through a misunderstanding and mistake of judgment, I installed the chairlift in 1996, and many of my patients enjoyed using it for a number of years. When it was brought to my attention in 2002 that I should not have installed it, I had it removed. I am hopeful that the Board's earlier decision to deny the variance was due to my failure to fully explain the practical impossibility of installing a type of wheelchair lift that would comply with AAB regulations. The attached letter from Whitaker explains the limitations of my building in terms of space to install a proper wheelchair lift, and the attached floorplan of the entry and stairs shows what is referred to in the letter from Whitaker. The entry, as originally constructed, is simply too small. The photograph shows the entry, at the awning with the name "Florence Dental." The entire entry, including exterior walls, foundation and roof, as well as the existing interior stairs, would have to be demolished and rebuilt in order to accomodate a complying wheelchair lift. As stated in the attached proposal from a contractor, this would cost approximately $65,000, plus the cost of moving underground utilities. This figure does not even include the cost of installing the wheelchair lift itself. The total cost would therefore probably be between $85,000 and $100,000. In addition to the cost, my office would be closed for the 2-3 months of construction. This would impose an impossible burden both on the dentists and other professionals who presently work in the building as well as the many patients who would not have any access to dental care during that time period. Even aside from all of the above costs and difficulties, I could not even obtain permission from the City of Northampton to do such construction to enlarge the building because it would necessarily reduce the number of parking places. A condition of the zoning permits under which the building has been built is that I have to maintain the present number of parking spaces on the parcel of land. It is a very small parcel of land and there are only 16 parking places for the entire building. The WHITAKER Taking you to the next level Stair.!ifts • Residential Elevators • Handicap Accessibility August 12, 2003 Pa. Dr. George Falk 41 Main Street Florence, MA 01062 Dear Dr. Falk: It was a pleasure meeting you today to evaluate your office accessibility needs to be ADA compliant. The Whitaker Company, with offices throughout the Northeast, has been resolving accessibility and mobility issues with practical solutions since 1937. That is why so many contractors and architects trust and recommend Whitaker. In reviewing your existing entryway for your clients and based upon the wheelchair accessibility products available, i.e., a vertical platform lift or Incline platform lift, as explained below, these products could not be installed without major structural renovations to the existing entry area to your building. A vertical platform lift cannot be installed without a shaftway, which is impossible with the present configuration of the stairs and entry. There is not enough room without demolishing the existing stairs, expanding the exterior walls, and rebuilding the entire entry area. An incline platform lift requires a lower landing space of at least 66 inches from last step to allow the platform to land, plus additional space of approximately 48 inches to leave the platform and exit the entry door. Your entry at present only 37 inches from the ��,�:, „::.ry area has ... ., last step to the doorway, which is not even close to the amount of . space that is necessary. The only way to provide the necessary space would be to demolish the present exterior walls and expand the entry area beyond the present footprint of the building. Please give me a call if you have any questions regarding the above.

I find your chair lift comfortable, safe and easy to use. Without this help I would be unable to continue having you do my dental work. We do have a relationship of long standing! Thank you for your care these many years. Sincerely, , Leon W. Gutfinski 50 Firethorn Lane Northampton, Ma. 01060 • February 22, 2003 To Whom It May Concern: I, Lucius E. Jenkins, Jr., am a patient of Dr. Falk of 41 Main Street, Florence, MA. I am writing to express my disapproval that the Building Inspector of Northampton has denied mobile impaired patients' use to the chair lift, which enables access to the second floor of this building. Since I am a wheelchair bound patient, this will make it impossible for me to see my dentist. I hope you will reconsider this decision. Thank you in advance to your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Lucius E. Jenkins, Jr. :mb • FalkLtr • February 14, 2003 Florence Dental Care, My wife and I have been patients of your dental care for several years and been into your office several times in the past few months. My wife has suffered a severe stroke and while requiring dental care we would not have been able to get to your office without the power chair in place at the stairway. She is able to manage only about three steps at this time. She still needs a wheelchair at times or a quad cane. So in view of the above I was disheartened at our last visit to hear that the power chair may be removed. It is difficult to understand why because more and more places are becoming handicapped accessible. I would hope that ways may be found to keep the power chair in place. This is no time for us to have to locate a different dental car service. rancis W. White 23 Crabapple Lane Northampton, MA 01060-1095 Kathryn McArthur 4 Bancroft Road Northampton, MA 01060 February 12, 2003 Dear Dr. Lang, I was very concerned to learn that the chair lift for your office was to be removed. My mother Hilda McArthur is 85 years old. She suffers from severe arthritis in her right knee. For the past year mother has not been able to climb the 13 steps to the second floor. She has relied entirely on the chair lift. Mother has been a patient with Florence Dental Care since 1983. She continues to need frequent dental visits in order to maintain her partial plates as well as routine hygiene care. We are both very pleased with the high quality care she has received in your office and I certainly do not want to introduce her to a new dentist at this point. Without a chair lift or elevator however, my mother would no longer be able to visit your office. I certainly hope that those responsible for this decision will reconsider. Obtaining good dental care is vital to my mother's quality of life and her current physical condition is such that she can no longer climb a long flight of stairs. If there is anything more I can do in support of your efforts to retain the chair lift, please let me know.
