    Hi. I think you will be okay as long as you can remove the panel without removing toilet or pedestal. Even if you incringe on the 15" clearance for the toilet, the toilet usually actually takes up less than ten inches from center to side. To be on the safe side, I would contact the local plumbing authority (plumbing inspector) in your area and have him give you his thoughts on this. Good luck and please let us know how things work out.

    PS. Welcome to AMHD. We could always use another plumber to help anwer questions. Hope to see you around.
