qualified historic building
will be
				limited to controlled groups with assigned tour guides, requirements of the
				following Sections are waived for that
space
.
1. 404, Doors, except minimum widths as noted in
				202.5.4.5 below, and threshold
				heights in
				404.2.5;
2. 225 and 811, Storage;
3. 205 and 309, Controls and Operating Mechanisms,
				where not intended to be operated by the general
public
;
4. 705,
Detectable Warnings
;
				and
5. 216 and 703, Signage.
202.5.4.3 Exemption for
				Controlled Groups and Door Attendants.
Where access to
				any
space
in a
qualified historic building
will be
				limited to controlled groups with assigned tour guides, or where a full-time
				door attendant or concierge is provided at the door within visual and audible
				communication range, there are no special requirements for door hardware or
				operation.
202.5.4.4 Door Hardware.
The addition of adapter lever handles that retain the existing hardware
				will be considered to meet the
Secretary of the
				Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation
as they do not
				result in the removal of any historic features from the
				structure.
202.5.4.5 Door
				Width.
Minimum clear door opening width for a single
				door or the single active leaf of a pair of doors shall meet the requirements
				of 404.2.3. When the
alteration
of an existing historic door does not meet the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
				Rehabilitation
, a lesser dimension may be considered to
				be accessible if it provides the highest level of access within the limited
				dimensions available. Examples of acceptable methods of providing improved
				access while maintaining the historic door include the
				following:
1. Maintain the door opening area free of any
				obstructions so that the clear opening can be measured with the door in a 180
				degree position rather than the 90 degree position.
2. Reverse the swing of the door.
3. Remove or alter the side door
				stop(s).
4. Replace the existing hinges with offset
				hinges.
Example: A historically significant door is
				only 30 inches (9140 mm) wide. Because the door, associated transom and
				surrounding trim are all significant features of the
building
, altering the opening and
				replacing the door does not meet the
Secretary of the
				Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation
. The
				installation of off-set hinges and the replacement of the door stops creates a
				clear opening of 29-1/2 inches (8990 mm), but otherwise retains all of the
				historic features of the
building
. In these circumstances, the
				modified front entry door would be considered to be accessible.
202.5.4.6 Width of Pairs of
				Doors.
For pairs of doors where an individual leaf does
				not provide the minimum clear opening, the following options provide improved
				access:
1. Activating the second leaf; or
2. Adding a power operator that activates both
				leaves.
202.5.4.7 Entrances.
If
				it is determined that no
entrance
used by the
public
can
				comply with 206.4 without threatening or destroying the historic character of
				the
building
or
facility
, then access at any
entrance
not used by the general
public
, but open (unlocked) with
				directional signage at the primary
entrance
may be used. The
				accessible
entrance
shall also
				have a notification system. Where security is a problem, remote monitoring may
				be used.
202.5.4.8
				Accessible Routes from Entrances. Accessible routes
from an accessible
entrance
to all
publicly
used
spaces
on at least
				the level of the accessible
entrance
shall be provided. Access shall be provided to all levels of a
building
or
facility
in compliance with 207.1 and
				Chapter 4 whenever practical, and where such access would not threaten or
				destroy the historic character of the
building
or
facility
.
202.5.4.9 Stairs.
Where
				the
alterations
to a historic
				stair do not meet the
Secretary of the Interior's
				Standards for Rehabilitation
(as determined by the
				Illinois State Historic Preservation Office), the requirements of 504 are
				waived.
Example: The addition of a modern complying handrail on
				the wall side of a historic stair may meet the minimum requirement for a
				necessary handrail without
alterations
to the historic railing and balustrade, thus meeting the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
				Rehabilitation
. In many instances it may also be
				possible to install a new code compliant handrail on top of the historic
				railing and balustrade.
202.5.4.10 Stair Handrail
				Extensions.
Full extension of stair handrails shall not
				be required in
alterations
where
				such extensions would be hazardous or impossible due to plan
				configuration.
202.5.4.11 Elevator Doors.
If safety door edge is provided in existing automatic elevators, then
				the automatic door protective and reopening devices as required in
				407.3.3
				may be omitted.
202.5.4.12 Elevator Dimensions.
Where existing shaft or
structural
				elements
prohibit strict compliance with the minimum
				dimensions of the elevator cars as required in
				407.4.1,
				then the minimum floor area dimensions may be reduced to no less than 48 inches
				by 48 inches (1220 mm by 1220 mm).
202.5.4.13
				Assembly Seating Dispersion.
In
alterations
to
qualified historic buildings
where it
				is
technically infeasible
to
				disperse seating throughout an assembly area, the seating may be located in
				collected areas. Seating shall adjoin an
accessible
				route
which also serves as a means of emergency
				egress.
202.5.4.14
				Elevator Features.
Where historic elevator features
				such as call buttons, hall lanterns, and control panels cannot comply with 407,
				the addition of new compliant controls that retain the existing will be
				considered to meet the
Secretary of the Interior's
				Standards for Rehabilitation
as they do not result in
				the removal of the historic elevator features.
202.5.4.15
				Signage.
Where historic signage including exit signs,
				directional, informational, and permanent room signage, cannot comply with 216
				and 703, the addition of new compliant signage that retains the existing will
				be considered to meet the
Secretary of the Interior's
				Standards for Rehabilitation
as it does not result in
				the removal of the historic signage.
202.5.4.16 Site Arrival Points.
At least one accessible route from a site arrival point to an
				accessible entrance shall be required.
202.6 Governmental Units in Public
				Facilities.

2. Mean high water level at river beaches;
				or
3. Normal recreation water level at lake, pond, and
				reservoir beaches.
1018.3 Surface.
The
				surface of beach access routes and resting intervals shall be firm and
				stable.
1018.4 Clear Width.
The
				clear width of beach access routes shall be 60 inches (1525 mm)
				minimum.
EXCEPTION:
At dune
				crossings, the clear width of beach access routes that are not removable shall
				be permitted to be reduced to 48 inches (1220 mm) minimum.
1018.5 Obstacles.
Obstacles on beach access routes and resting intervals shall not exceed
				1/2 inch (13 mm) in height measured vertically to the highest
				point.
EXCEPTION:
Where the
				surface is other than asphalt, concrete, or
boards
, obstacles shall be permitted to
				not exceed 1 inch (25 mm) in height measured vertically to the highest
				point.
1018.6 Openings.
Openings
				in the surface of beach access routes and resting intervals shall not allow the
				passage of a sphere more than 1/2 inch (13 mm) in diameter.
1018.7 Slopes.
The slopes
				of beach access routes shall comply with 1018.7.
1018.7.1 Maximum Running Slope and Segment
				Length.
The
running
				slope
of any segment of a beach access route shall not
				be steeper than 1:10 (10%). Where the
running
				slope
of a segment of a beach access route is steeper
				than 1:20 (5%), the maximum length of the segment shall be in accordance with
				Table 1018.7.1, and a resting interval complying with 1018.8 shall be provided
				at the top and bottom of each segment.

cross
				slope
shall not be steeper than 1:48.
EXCEPTION:
Where the
				surface is other than concrete, asphalt, or
boards
,
cross
				slopes
not steeper than 1:20 shall be permitted when
				necessary for drainage.

Resting
				intervals shall comply with 1018.8.

				intervals shall have a slope not steeper than 1:48 in any
				direction.
EXCEPTION:
Where the
				surface is other than concrete, asphalt, or
boards

Constructed
elements
on
				beach access routes and resting intervals shall comply with

Where the slope of
				a beach access route at a dune crossing is steeper than 1:20 (5%), handrails
				complying with 505 and curbs or barriers shall be provided. The curbs or
				barriers shall prevent the passage of a 2 inch (50 mm) diameter sphere, where
				any portion of the sphere is within 2 inches (50 mm) of the crossing
