However, upon a conversation with the architect, who was able to indicate that is not the case, they can do it by roof hatch ultimately providing maintenance to the green roof without having to add an inch to the building.

They went from 13 parking spaces to 14 parking spaces. Mr. Wine confirmed that the bathroom area in the commercial area is ADA compliant.
