61G10-11.004: Practical Experience in Landscape Architecture

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on June 21, 2007, the Board of Landscape Architecture has issued an order.

The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on April 11, 2007, by Mike Sosadeeter. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 33, No. 18, of the May 4, 2007, F.A.W. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of Rule 61G10-11.004, F.A.C., entitled “Practical Experience in Landscape Architecture” which requires that applicants for licensure as a registered landscape architect shall demonstrate prior to licensure, one year of practical experience in landscape architectural work under the supervision of a registered landscape architect. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public telephonic meeting held May 31, 2007.

The Board’s Order granted the petition finding that Petitioner established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 481.310, Florida Statutes, would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 61G10-11.004, F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner had established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned Rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Juanita Chastain, Executive Director, Board of Landscape Architecture, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0783.
