A RESOLUTION REGARDING BUILDING REQUIREMENTS FOR PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED
WHEREAS, the Minnesota Legislature in the 1971 session adopted
Chapter 471 entitled UNIFORM MUNICIPAL CONTRACTING LAW; and
WHEREAS, under the provisions of this law, the state has adopted
rules and regulations relating to public buildings providing accessibility
and usability features for physically handicapped; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said chapter, said rules are to apply to all
buildings except single family and two family dwellings; and
WHEREAS, said chapter provides that in case of practicable difficulty,
unnecessary hardship, or extreme differences, the local authorities may grant
exceptions from the literal requirements of this chapter; and
WHEREAS, the council understands that the state authorities are
considering adopting rules and regulations and /or requesting the legislature
to amend said chapter to liberalize the requirements as they apply to multiple
structures containing a limited number of units; and
WHEREAS, the council finds that it is a practicable difficulty and
an unnecessary hardship to apply said requirements to small multiple family
buildings;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the City of Fridley shall waive
such requirements for all multiple family structures containing eight or
fewer units; said waiver to remain in effect until changed by the council.
