Re: Complaint #09-0127
Dayfront Park Amphitheater Complex
Miami, Florida
PLEASE INCLUDE THE AI3OVE COMPLAINT
NUMBER ON ALL CORRESPONDENCE
�{ Thank you for your response of September 5, 1989, and for Ms. Nancy B. Panto)a's letter of
'October 20, 1909, forwarding the corrective action (CA) drawings for the Bayfront Park, In
addition, on November 30, 1989, we received from Ms. Pantoja some of the as -built
drawings for the park.
Based on our review of the complaint file and the above material, we have determined that
the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board has Jurisdiction over this
park and that violations of the current Federal accessibility standard, Uniform Federal
Accessibility Standards (UFAS)(copy enclosed), promulgated under the Architectural Barriers
Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U,S.C, 4151 et_ seg., exist within the park.
From the as -built drawings provided, we cannot determine the validity of all the allegations
listed in the complaint. Therefore, in order not to delay the start of your corrective actions,
we have listed below the status of those complaint elements which we have determined are
In violation of UFAS and/or are to be corrected. Each of the following elements are keyed
to our Statement of Complaint dated June 02, 1989.
Element 2: The amphitheater does not have any close accessible parking spaces for
physically disabled individuals.
Status: We have been informed that live accessible parking spaces were installed
near the east entrance of the amphitheater. Please confirm that these accessible parking
spaces conform to UFA S section 4.6.
Elemenl_3: The east entrance ramp in the service building floes not'have proper Spacing
between the handrails and the supporting wall.
The Access, Unaf t
Ststirs: The CA drawings rlimpr tlgat this h indrall spacing vlola-Oon will b9 corrected.
However, the drawings slow that the handrail on the stair's ramp side dne,; not extend 12
inches plus thy* width of onn tread beyond the bottom sUnir riser as regoired by UFAS
s;ectlon 4.9.4(2). Please confirm: that the stair hanOrall will be corrected to comply with
section 4.9.4(2) and that the handrail end new the sliding gate will be either rounded or will
return to the floor, wall or post as required by UFAS section 4.0.5(C3).
Element 4: The ramp leading to the stage lacks handrails and the level resting area
provided midway 'up the ramp is too small.
Status: The CA drawings show these handrail and landing violations will be
corrected. However, the top portion of the ramp has a slope greater than 0.33% (1:12).
Please confirm that the top portion of the ramp will be corrected to have a slope that does
not exceed 1:12 and that the ends of the handrails for this ramp will either be rounded or
return to the floor, post or wall as required In section 4.8.5(6).
Element 6: The two ramps leading to the tower need 32" high handrails on each side and
both ramps have a two Inch -high abrupt change in surface level near the top, due to
settling of the ramps.
Status: The CA drawings show these handrail and surface violations will be
corrected. Please confirm that these handrails extend 12 inches at the top and bottom and
the ends are either rounded or return smoothly to the floor, wall or post as required by
sections 4.6.5(2 and 6).
Bement 7. The primary entrance ramp to the amphitheater does not have handrails.
Status: The CA drawings show these handrail violations will be corrected. Again,
please confirm that the handrails will conform to section 4.8.5.
Element 6_ The sloped access aisles to the seating areas should have signs indicating that
they are not accessible for wheelchair users because of stairs.
Status: The CA drawings show that warning signs will be placed at inaccessible
access aisles In the amphitheater. Will all Inaccessible aisles be so marked and will 1,11e
signs, as we recommend, Indicate where the accessible route to the accessible seating
Is located.

• stratain, Tbrj CA dr=swings will not correct nil the violations In thessr restroom"'.
UFAS sections 4.1.2(110) and 4.22 require, In new construction, that every restroom contain
at least one standard sire accessible toilet stall. I'leasa confirm that a standard size
nccessibie toilet stall conforming with section 4.17 wili be installod in the men' and women's
restrooms. I.
Element 14: The locker room in the office area. does not have any accessible toilets/stalls
and showers.
Status: The CA drawings will correct the accessible toilet stall violations. However,
the drawings show the doors for both the accessible toilet star -snd shower open into the
clear spare required for the accessible lavatories.. Please Indicate what actions you will
take to remedy this section 4.22.2 violation at the accessible lavatories. We recommend
that the accessible lavatories be moved to the other end of the lavatory rows. In addition,
please provide the interior dimensions for the shower stall and indicate It the shower's entry
curb is no higher than 112 Inch. UFAS section 4,21.2 and Fig. 35 requires that small size
shower stalls to have an Interior dimension of exactly 36 Inches by 36 inches and section
4.21.7 requires shower stall curbs to be no higher than 1 /2 Inches -for 36 inch by 30-inch
stalls. if the shower dimensions and/or curb heights are Incorrect, please Indicate what
actions you will take to correct the deficiencies.
Element t a: The public restrooms located under the tower have accessible toilet stalls with
grab bars that are mounted too high, accessible lavatories without lever -operated handles
and, In the women's restroom, the accessible toilet stall Is too narrow.
Status: The CA drawings Indicate both restrooms will have standard size accessible
toilet stalls with grab bars mounted at the proper height. However, from the drawings we
are unable to determine It the accessible lavatories have conforming faucet handles. Please
confirm that the accessible lavatory faucet handles conform to UFAS section 4.19.5.
Element 16: The first floor of the backstage dressing area lacks an accessible shower.
Status: The CA drawings indicato that the first floor backstage toilet room is not
provided with shower facilities, therefore no accessible showers are required. However,
from our review of the drawings It appears that the entry door has insufficient clear space
on its pull side. UFAS section 4.13 requires that a minimum of 18 inches be provided.
Please confirm whether this door meets section 4.13 requirements or will be corrected.
Element 17: The second floor of the backstage dressing area is not accessible because of
stairs and no accessible toilet stalls and showers are provided.
