Section: Exception - LULAs and Platform Lifts Requirement: Limited use/limited application elevators (LULAs) and platform lifts permitted in lieu of gangways 15.2.3 Boat Slips Section: Scoping Requirement: Where boat slips are provided, accessible boat slips must be provided in accordance with Table 15.2.3, which ranges from 1 accessible boat slip for facilities with 25 or fewer boat slips to 12 accessible boat slips for facilities with 901 to 1000 boat slips (plus 1 additional accessible boat slip for each 100 boat slips over 1000). Where number of boat slips not identified, each 40 feet of boat slip edge provided along perimeter of pier counts as one boat slip. Section: Dispersion Requirement: Accessible boat slips must be dispersed among various types of slips provided. Increase in number of accessible boat slips not required. 15.2.4 Boarding Piers at Boat Launch Ramps Section: Scoping Requirement: Where boarding piers provided at boat launch ramps, at least 5% of boarding piers must be accessible and be served by accessible route. Section: Exceptions - Alterations, Maximum Rise, Landings, Handrail Extensions, Cross Slope, LULAs and Platform Lifts Requirement: Accessible routes serving floating boarding piers permitted to use exceptions in 15.2.2 for alterations, maximum rise, landings, handrail extensions, cross slope, LULAs and platform lifts. Section: Exception - Maximum Slope Requirement: Maximum 1:12 slope does not apply where total length of gangways serving as part of accessible route is at least 30 feet. Section: Exception - Accessible Route Within Boat Launch Ramp Requirement: Where accessible route serving floating boarding pier or skid pier is located within boat launch ramp, portion of accessible route within boat launch ramp not required to comply with ramp provisions. Section: Boarding Pier Clearances Requirement: Accessible boarding piers must comply with 15.2.5 for entire length of piers. 15.2.5 Accessible Boat Slips Section: Clearances Requirement: Clear pier space 60 inches wide minimum and at least as long as boat slip must be provided at accessible boat slips. Every 10 feet maximum of linear pier edge must contain at least one continuous clear opening 60 inches minimum in width. Section: Exception - Width Requirement: Clear pier space permitted to be 36 inches wide minimum for length of 24 inches maximum, provided that multiple 36 inch wide segments are separated by segments that are 60 inches minimum clear in width and length. Section: Exception - Edge Protection Requirement: Edge protection 4 inches high maximum and 2 inches deep maximum permitted at continuous pier openings. Section: Exception - Alterations Requirement: In alterations to existing facilities, clear pier space permitted to be located perpendicular to boat slip and extend width of boat slip, where facility has at least one boat slip complying with 15.2.5 and providing additional boat slips complying with 15.2.5 would result in reducing number of boat slips available or reducing widths of existing boat slips. Section: Cleats and Other Boat Securement Devices Requirement: Cleats and other boat securement devices are not required to comply with height provisions for controls and operating mechanisms.
