Vol. 32, No. 13, by John X. Michelena of Architectural Resource Group, Inc. regarding Westwood Center, License Number 87138 (VW 2006-073). The order denied the variance request from Chapters 101.3c(4), 101.3c(5) and 101.3b(1), A.S.M.E. 17.1, 1996 Edition with 1999 addenda, as adopted by Rule 61C-5.001, Florida Administrative Code, requiring a permanent, fixed stair/ladder at a maximum 60 degree inclination from horizontal, a platform of fixed size at the top of the access stair/ladder and a vertical door at the top of the access stair/ladder. The petitioner had requested to not have a permanent, fixed stair/ladder at a maximum 60 degree inclination from horizontal, a platform of fixed size at the top of the access stair/ladder and a vertical door at the top of the access stair/ladder. The petition was denied as the petitioner failed to demonstrate how the proposed configuration would achieve the purpose of the underlying rule.
