I just pulled A117 back out.. start with 308.3, and you will find when you have an obstructed reach (like a counter of any kind > 10" in depth), the counter height is 34". If a wheel chair can pull directly below the counter, the reach can be between 44-48". Side approach is different, again depending on the depth of the obstruction.

peach,
308.3 is a building block. You use it as it is required. What the discussion is about has to do with whether Section 904.3.1 (which allows for a 36 inch height) should be used or whether Section 904.4.3 is applicable (which requires the height to comply with Section 902.3 = 34 inches).
