    NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on June 22, 2010, the Agency for Persons with Disabilities has issued an order.
    Granting a request for a variance from subparagraph 65G-2.012(12)(c)2., F.A.C., filed by Quality 1st Care Group Home, Inc., Jenamay Garland. Notice of the Petition was published in the F.A.W. on April 9, 2010, and on April 30, 2010. Petitioner sought a waiver from subparagraph 65G-2.012(12)(c)2., F.A.C., that requires client bedrooms to contain at least 80 square feet of usable floor space. The Agency’s Final Order, rendered on June 22, 2010, found that the underlying purpose of the rule would be satisfied by a bedroom of 74.02 square feet considering that there was an adjacent sitting room available to the client and the substantial expense that Petitioner would have to incur to expand the existing bedroom or move the client to another location.
    A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Agency for Persons with Disabilities, Office of the Agency Clerk, 4030 Esplanade Way, Suite 380, Tallahassee, Florida 32399.
