[MassHistPres] Handicapped access to private residences

[Kristi Chase]

In a couple of the instances, owners are dealing with aging relatives,
although one instance is a 20-something young woman.  In any of these cases,
the change would be for years and not a few months and as such, I am looking
for more permanent solutions.

Can these access ramps be installed as "semi temporary" structures?
Essentially designed and permitted to be removed in a relatively short
period of time when they are no longer needed?

Several LHD and older house owners have recently asked about HPC guidelines
for accessibility.  What municipalities have guidelines? Does anyone have
examples of well-designed ramps suitable for tight city lots?

Thanks,
