Designed for Healthy One of 10 persons has a disability that prevents him from using buildings designed only for the physically fit. The people of South Bend must resolve that the buildings and facilities of this community will be built for all persons and not only for the fit, healthy person," said Parent. Statistics of 1970 for St.

Joseph County show that there are 4,600 persons with complete disability, 15,200 with major but not complete disability, and 8,400 who are affected by minor limitations, according to Parent. He said the cost of designing and erecting barrier-free buildings is estimated at less than one-tenth of one per cent of the total cost of a building. Although designers are willing to plan barrier-free structures, South Bends record and that of most other cities on the issue is dismal, he said V-y, kHtal SKIERS OASIS Even with Indianas quickly-changing weather Mount Wawasee Ski Lodge neat New Paris is an oasis to skiers seeking suitable snow covering.

vv vL vV'V VS 'V' By MARCKMONT KOVAS Tribune City Government Writer A milestone building code change aimed at making buildings accessible and functional for the handicapped will be considered for adoption by the South Bend Common Council Monday night. The buill would eliminate architectural barriers that pose impediments or hazards to handicapped persons. The ordinance would require that doors be wide enough to admit wheelchairs, that steep stairs have handrails, that entrances be level with the sidewalk, and that toilet stalls be designed to accommodate wheelchair patients Make Life Easier These are only some of the facets of the bill whose purpose it is to make life easier for the handicapped. Almost every building where the public may be found would be affected by the proposal. It concerns all buildings built with public funds, along with medical and health facilities, art centers, museums, theaters, auditoriums, banks, churches and funeral homes.

Other structures that would have to comply are department store and retail stores, office buildings, hotels and motels and apartment complexes, among others. Councilman Roger O. Parent, sponsor and architect of the proposed measure, spent considerable time conducting research and preparing the bill. As chairman of the council urban redevelopment committee, Parent conducted numerous meetings and surveys since March, 1972, when the Council asked his committee to study the problem. In a preface to the proposed Parent said his committee recommends the passage of the bill and' feels strongly that the low cost, the increased safety to all persons and the social value to both the handicapped and the community demand favorable action by the Council." The Council as a whole appears to favor the bill, Parent added.

The ordinance is patterned after model ordinances and follows in some detail one that is in effect in St. Paul, Minn. Reviewed by Builders More than 60 architects, builders and other interested persons and organizations have reviewed the bill, said Parent. A technical committee of Interested persons was formed and helped draft the measure. Among them were Donald Norton, Robert Swanson and Vernon Clark of the Michiana Chapter of the National Paraplegia Foundation which long has urged such legislation; Robert C.

Eberhart, president of the St. Joseph County Architectural Assn, and architects Leroy S. Troyer and Oliver Ogden. The ordinance would apply to all affected new structures and to buildings' undergoing more than 50 per cent remodeling. In hotels and motels, one bedroom unit for every 19 units in the complex shall be made accessible to and usable by the handicapped.

One apartment unit of 24 in a complex must so comply. Public telephones, elevators, controls for lights, ventilation and alarms, and electrical outlets must be within reach of the handicapped. At least one checkout lane in markets and elsewhere must be accessible for wheel chairs by being 36 inches wide. Braille Door Letters Raised or recessed letters or numbers are required to aid the blind to identify doors leading to public facilities.
