thing in the Act shall relieve the Owner of the duty to provide vertical accessibility to persons with mobility impairments. 5. According to the OWner, the literal application of these requirements to its project would constitute an unusual or extreme hardship because the mezzanine will be used for the storage of in- active files, no customers or other members of the public will be allowed to use it, and the only employees in the facility will also have to handle heavy materials in the performance of their duties, so that the cost to make the mezzanine accessible to persons with mobility impairments will be unreasonable in relation to any fore- seeable benefit. 6. Based on its consideration of the foregoing information, the description of the construction, the representations by the Owner, and the applicable legal requirements, the Council has re- commended that the Application for Waiver be approved.. Having considered the foregoing information, together with the recommendation of the Council, the Board hereby agrees with that recommendation, and concludes that unusual circumstances or extreme hardship have been proved, and that the Application for Waiver be, and hereby is, GRANTED. This Final Order is intended for the en- forcement of the Florida Americans With Disabilities Accessibility Implementation Act, ~ 553.501 et seq., Fla. Stat. (1993), and other than as modified by this Final Order, any construction or postcon- struction activities which deviate from the requirements of that Act will be deemed to be a violation of this Final Order.
