NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on June 11, 2008, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants has issued an order.

NOTICE WAS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on May 21, 2008, for a Routine Variance for subsection 61C-4.010(6), Florida Administrative Code, from Mellow Mushroom located in Delray Beach. The above referenced F.A.C. states the physical facilities at public food service establishments shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 6, Food Code. Specifically, the Petitioner requests to have exposed joists in the ceiling of the bar area.

This variance request was approved and is for allowing exposed solid sealed joists and ties in the bar ceiling only. The joists shall be smooth, nonabsorbent, easily cleanable and maintained in good repair. Food preparation is limited to drink preparation only including the scooping of ice; there will be no other food service activities including slicing of fruit, shucking, peeling, warewashing, etc. If the surface of the joists, ties or metal tie downs become weathered and/or cracked rendering them uncleanable, the variance will be rescinded and a properly finished ceiling will be required. Any violation of the variance is the equivalent of a violation of the Rule and may result in a rescission of the variance, and subject the Petitioner to disciplinary sanctions as enumerated in Section 509.261, Florida Statutes.
