ADDITIONAL SHEETS FOR ARCHITECTURAL ACCESS VARIANCE APPLICATION
3.The facility is a stand alone,single floor (two levels),brick building that will be
used primarily for a wholesale coffee roasting business with limited retail space for
retailing coffee and baked goods.
6. Briefly describe the nature and extent of work:
The Yup Coffee Roasting, Inc. building is located in an industrial zone in the
Florence section of Northampton Massachusetts, off-street and behind a
large former mill building.Within that zone a portion of a building, 10%of
the gross floor area,may be used for retailing products produced in the
facility. In this case, Yup Coffee Co. is allowed 140 square feet of retail space.
Given the size limitation, we expect the retail portion of the business to be
relatively small, with "grab and go",customers,consisting mainly of the
employees of the two large nearby buildings. One building is directly
adjacent to the Yup facility and another is across a street.To make the retail
area accessible,will be cuttinga code-compliant ramp into an existing wood-
foisted "deck".This deck is built on a concrete loading dock,which slopes
upwards, and away, from the entry door.
We are also considering having seasonal tables under an overhang, outside
the building.There is no room inside for tables. If we provide tables for retail
customers we must provide public restroom facilities,which would not be
required without the addition of tables.We have enough space in the
building for one,single use bathroom,which,by code, limits the number of
seats to 18.1f we provide a public restroom it must,of course,be accessible.
9. Reason's why compliance is impractical:
Yup Coffee Co,is requesting a variance for Section 30.7.1, Figured, the
required layout for a single use Water Closet. Given the constrictions of the
existing conditions(see floor plan)—specifically the location of the existing
exterior door, the existing raised concrete and wooden platforms,and the 8'
wide windows—conforming to the exact layout of Figure d is extremely
impractical.
ef
To create the prescribed 72"x 90"Water Closet rectangle would incur
significant additional expense relative to the cost of the project. To comply,
the door would have to be moved 2' to the south. Doing so would, because
the concrete loading dock that's beneath the wood deck slopes upwards to
the south, require the demolition of significant portion (approximately 22%)
of this concrete loading dock.Additional costs would be incurred to remove
the door, reframe the opening(also requiring some demolition of concrete)
and reinstalling the door.
Also, the prescribed plan would require the door opening to be at the east
end of the WC, lengthening the travel path to the WC, infringing on non-retail,
roaster space.
The proposed plan fits well in the existing space, enhances the traffic pattern
inside the building and conforms to all the space and clearance requirements
as listed in sections 6.3 (Figure 6d), 26.6.3 (Figure 26d.latch side approach
and Figure 26e., front approach,and 30.5,and 30.7.1 Figure 30d.
The clear space around the sink is a more than 30"wide and more
than 48"to the front of the toilet.
The center of the toilet is 18" from the wall and there is 42"of space
from the center of the toilet to the wall.
The bathroom door will have a closer,as will the front door, which
will not have a latch.
We are also requesting a variance for Section 26.6.4.Although there is a jog
in the door wall,the jog is 6"deep,which appears to comply with intent of
Section 26.6.2. A case can be made that this arrangement—a jog that puts a 6"
recess on only one side—is actually easier to access than a door that is fully
recessed 6"on both sides. Although the door swing could be reversed to
meet the code that would make the bathroom more difficult to access for
everyone and actually would put the travel path into what is intended to be
private space not open to the public.Adding an automatic door closer would
add significant expense relative to the overall cost of the project.
Additionally,Yup Coffee has filed an Affidavit with this Variance Application,
stating that the entire portion of the building that is open to the public will be
accessible.
