A resort with a lake is building a small snack bar on an island that you can only take a boat to or swim to get to. You could also walk to it because it is not deep. I was worried about the accessible route.
1104.2 Within a site. At least one accessible route shall connect
accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements
and accessible spaces that are on the same site.
Exceptions:
1. An accessible route is not required between accessible
buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements
and accessible spaces that have, as the only
means of access between them, a vehicular way not
providing for pedestrian access.
There is no definition of a vehicle in the IBC.
Is a boat a vehicle? Definitions seem to be mixed when googling this.
Is being able to swim or walk in water (wade) to somewhere require an accessible route?
In PA we are not allowed to think for ourselves when it comes to accessibility and must strictly comply to the code as written.
