RE: Proposal for Purchase and Redevelopment of Parcel RR-4B in
South End Urban Renewal Area / Project Number; Mass R-56
Dear Ms. Faria:
This letter is to follow up our telephone conversation of
this morning and to provide you with additional information
regarding the above captioned Proposal.
1. Handicapped Access There is no federal of state
.
requirement of handicapped access for the proposed residential
parking area. Neither Title III of the Civil Rights Act nor the
Americans With Disabilities Act, which govern handicapped access
in public accommodations and commercial facilities, require that
residential accommodations have handicapped access. The
Massachusetts Handicapped Access Board does not have jurisdiction
over residential areas or over rental property of less than five
rooms. M.G.L.A. c. 151B, Section 4 (6) - 4 (7B).
2. Drainage The landscape architect recommends that an
.
on-site dry well be placed within the proposed parking area, as
shown on the plan submitted with the proposal. Such a dry-well
is more suitable than a connection to a water drain because the
dry well would provide better moisture for the plants and trees
proposed for the area. The water that could possibly collect
within the parking area is sufficiently slight to be adequately
accommodated by a dry well. Only if percolation is
unsatisfactory would it be necessary to provide a connection to a
main water drain.
