Excerpt from Staff Memorandum for November 1, 1994 Planning Board meeting Item No. 3: Amending the nand Development Code, Chapter VIII, Article 3, Section 3 - C.O. M 94-456 a. This is an amendment to the definition of Setback. This would allow handicap access ramps to be placed in the building setback area under specified conditions. Under the existing Ordinance steps are allowed in the setback area, but there is no similar provision for handicap access ramps. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), buildings. for public access or public accommodation require handicap access amps. This amendment allows existing buildings to more easily conform to the ADA requirements. b. Staff would recommend that the Planning Board recommend the proposed land development code amendment (as amended) to the City Council. «tote= 24, 1994 94-456 A ipea to Councilor eo ei CITY OF BANGOR (TITLE.)
