ADA Report
The Department reviewed the elements of North Middle School that are used by the voting public: the parking serving the voting area, the
route from the parking area to the area used for voting, and the area used for voting. This facility, located at 421 Hickory Creek Road, Lenoir City, TN, was
first built in 1978 and altered in 2002. The County will make the following modifications to this facility within six months of the effective date of this
Agreement: a. The two parking spaces designated for persons with disabilities lack access aisles and vertical signage. Provide at least one van-accessible parking space served by an access aisle at least 96 inches wide. If the two spaces do not share the same access aisle, provide a minimum 60-inch wide access aisle for the other designated space. For the space served by the 96-inch wide access aisle, provide a "van-accessible" sign mounted below the International Symbol of Accessibility in a location that cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space. Provide appropriate signage for the other accessible parking space in a location that cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space. Ensure that the slopes and cross-slopes of the access aisles do not exceed 1:50 in any direction. The two accessible parking spaces may share the same access aisle. Standards §§ 4.1.2(5)(a)(b), 4.6.3, Fig. 9, 4.6.4, Fig. 43(b). b. There is no accessible route from the parking lot onto the sidewalk that serves the area used by the voting public. Provide an accessible route from the accessible parking to the sidewalk by adding a curb cut or other vertical means of access that complies with the Standards. Standards §§ 4.1.2(2), 4.3, 4.5. c. There is a one-inch threshold at the entrance to the area of the school that is used for voting. Provide a threshold so that the change in level is no greater than ½ inch and beveled with a slope no greater than 1:2. Standards § 4.13.8.
