It has been determined that to accomplish access for the handicapped, the following changes must be made: l. The existing entry way must be raised to the same level as the floor inside the chambers. 2. The double door will have to be removed and replaced with one door of sufficient width. 3. The foyer area will have to be extended into the Council char,ibers approximately eight inches. We must do this to obtain the seven feet between the outside and the inside door. It cannot be rnoved to the outside. 4. Once the above items are completed, a concrete ramp must be constructed. Because of the height difference between the level of the entrance and the parking lot, the ramp must extend east fron the entrance and gradually curve down to the parking lot. According to the calculations, it should end between the first and second evergreen trees next to Brown Road South. 5. A railing will have to be installed at the proper height. (Continued)
