RE: Petition for Variance

The submittal described above has been reviewed for equivalency to applicable Wisconsin
Administrative Codes and compliance with Wisconsin Statutes. The submittal has been
CONDITIONALLY APPROVED. The owner, as defined in section 101.01(10), Wisconsin
Statutes, is responsible for compliance with all conditions of this petition approval and other
applicable code requirements.
Your Petition for Variance of code section(s) noted above has been reviewed.
The code section petitioned requires "all shower compartments, regardless of shape, shall have
a minimum finished interior of 900 square inches and shall be capable of encompassing a circle
with a diameter of30 inches. The minimum required area and dimension shall be measured in a
horizontal plane 24 inches above the top of the threshold and may not extend beyond the
centerline of the threshold. The minimum area and dimensions shall be maintained to a point 70
inches above the shower waste outlet with no protrusions other than the fixture valve or valves,
showerheads, soap dishes, retractable seats and safety grab bars or rails".
The variance requested is to allow the installation of a basement shower with an exterior
dimension of36 x 32 inches and an interior dimension that is less than 30 inches when measured
as specified in the aforementioned paragraph. The home has two other showers (combination
tub/shower unit and 48" x 36" shower module) that exceed the code minimum area and
dimensional requirements
The intent ofthe code section petitioned is outlined in Connn 82.1 0 (1) (h) which states "All
plumbing fixtures shall be installed so as to provide adequate spacing and accessibility for the
intended use and cleaning".
