NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on November 6, 2008, the Division of Pari-Mutuel Wagering, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, received a petition for variance from MELBOURNE GREYHOUND PARK, LLC, Petitioner, in DBPR Case No. 2008060903 (VW 2008-309). The Petition lists Rules 61D-11.0175 and 61D-11.025, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), from which it seeks a variance. The Petition requests that the Division grant the Petitioner a variance of no less than 365 days from the cardroom surveillance technology requirements imposed by subsection (3) of Rule 61D-11.0175 and subsections (4) and (5) of Rule 61D-11.025, F.A.C. Alternatively, Petitioner requests a variance until July 1, 2009, from the cardroom surveillance technology requirements imposed by subsection (3) of Rule 61D-11.0175, F.A.C., and subsection (5) of Rule 61D-11.025, F.A.C., which relate to enhanced clarity surveillance cameras, and until January 1, 2010, from the cardroom surveillance technology requirements imposed by subsection (4) of Rule 61D-11.025, F.A.C., which relates to digital video recorders that can record to a quality of 4 Common Intermediate Format (CIF). Petitioner requests the variance because of severe financial hardship as the costs to conform immediately to these cardroom surveillance requirements would be in excess of $80,000. Any person whose substantial interests may be affected by a variance on the subject matter of the Petition may file a petition to intervene within 14 days of the publication of this notice.

A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2202, [phone].
