HomeMy WebLinkAbout8934 Puerto Del Rio Drive Overhead Garage DoorsDear Mike,
Thanks for coming out this morning to review the Overhead Garage Door
replacement at the 8934 Puerto Del Rio building.
As discussed, there is a clear and present danger to the public, not
only from the installation without permit or inspection,
but also from the low clearance of the doors of only 75 inches above the floor.
The Florida Building Code does now and has required in the past since
before the construction of the building, a minimum clearance of 80
inches.
This is a minimum requirement for Egress as well as Accessibility and
also under the Americans with Disabilities Act, among others.
During January and February of 2017 alone, there have been 3 accidents
caused by the the low overhead clearance at this location
resulting in thousands of dollars of damages. There have also been
many other accidents in the past.
It is easily foreseeable that some of the damaged and hanging garage
door sections will seriously injure, or worse, owners, guests,
visitors or City of Cape Canaveral emergency personnel in the future.
Attached is a copy of the information provided to Brian Palmer this morning.
Your help in making the City of Cape Canaveral a safer place to live
is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Alexander Bobinski
