I posted this in the accessibility forum yesterday but got no response, trying here today.
Hello all. I've got an existing building with some inconvenient columns and was hoping I might find some flexibility in the 11B-403.5.1 requirement for a 44" path to the accessible stall. Exception #1 allows for pinching down to 32" for a maximum length of 24" but can you apply an exception to another exception? The requirement for 44" to the stall is exception #5. I've got one tight corner at an existing column (see attached) reduces my path to about 38" but only for the briefest of moments. Any thoughts?
I likely can't claim a hardship because of existing conditions since we completely demo'd and rebuilt them.
Thanks!
