NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 14, 2010, the Board of Architecture and Interior Design has issued an order.
The Order is regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on April 13, 2010, by Jorge Trelles. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 36, No. 16, of the April 23, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of Rule 61G1-13.0021, F.A.C., entitled “Intern Development Program,” which requires that applicants follow the Intern Development Program through the Nation Council of Architectural Registration Boards in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 481.211, F.S. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held May 11, 2010, in Orlando, Florida. The Board’s Order granted the petition finding that Petitioner established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 481.211, Florida Statutes, would be met by granting a variance or waiver from Rule 61G1-13.0021, F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose a substantial hardship.
