NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Department of Financial Services has issued an order disposing of the petition for declaratory statement filed by Richard Coates on April 16, 2014. The following is a summary of the agency's disposition of the petition:

The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published April 24, 2014 in Vol. 40, No. 60 of the Florida Administrative Register. The Petitioners sought a determination by the Department as to whether precautions taken by a boatyard located in Punta Gorda, Florida, complied with Florida Fire Protection Code. The Petition is asking for a determination regarding the propriety of proposed conduct of another entity, Gator Creek Marina, and as such, is not the proper subject for a declaratory statement. Therefore, the Petition was denied by a Final Order filed on June 18, 2014.

A copy of the Order Disposing of the Petition for Declaratory Statement may be obtained by contacting: Melissa E. Dembicer, Assistant General Counsel, Department of Financial Services, 200 E. Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0333, or by email at [e-mail].
