At the dredge sites, the mixing zone would extend 1,500 meters downcurrent of the dredge. At the beach placement areas, the mixing zone would extend 3,000 meters downdrift from the point where water from the sand discharge pipe re-enters the Gulf of Mexico. The Department’s file on this matter is available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, 5050 West Tennessee Street, Building B, Tallahassee, Florida 32304-9201, Telephone: 850-488-7708. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under sections 120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000. Mediation under Section 120.573 of the F. S. is not available. Because the administrative hearing process is designed to redetermine final agency action on the application, the filing of a petition for an administrative hearing may result in a modification of the agency action or even a denial of the application. If a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing or request for an extension of time to file a petition is timely filed, this agency action automatically becomes only proposed agency action on the application, subject to the result of the administrative review process. Accordingly, the applicant is advised not to commence construction or other activities in accordance with this variance until the deadlines noted below for filing a petition for an administrative hearing, or request for an extension of time has expired. Under Rules 28-106.111(3) and 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, before the applicable deadline. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon. If a request is filed late, the Department may still grant it upon a motion by the requesting party showing that the failure to file a request for an extension of time before the deadline was the result of excusable neglect. In the event that a timely and sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is filed, other persons whose substantial interests will be affected by the outcome of the administrative process have the right to petition to intervene in the proceeding. Any intervention will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C. In accordance with Rules 28-106.111(2) and 62-110.106(3)(a)(4), F.A.C., petitions for an administrative hearing by the applicant must be filed within 14 days of receipt of this written notice. Petitions filed by any persons other than the applicant, and other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the notice or within 14 days of receipt of the written notice, whichever occurs first. Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication. The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S. A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests are or will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts that the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; and (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes that the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action that the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action. A petition that does not dispute the material facts on which the Department’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301. Under sections 120.569(2)(c) and (d), F.S., a petition for administrative hearing must be dismissed by the agency if the petition does not substantially comply with the above requirements or is untimely filed. This action is final and effective on the date filed with the Clerk of the Department unless a petition is filed in accordance with the above. Upon the timely filing of a petition this order will not be effective until further order of the Department. This variance constitutes an order of the Department. The applicant has the right to seek judicial review of the order under Section 120.68, Florida Statutes, by the filing of a notice of appeal under Rule 9.110, Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, with the Clerk of the Department in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida, 32399 3000; and by filing a copy of the notice of appeal accompanied by the applicable filing fees with the appropriate district court of appeal. The notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days from the date when the final order is filed with the Clerk of the Department.

Anthony C. Apfelbeck, Petitioner, a Fire Official with the City of Altamonte Springs, FL with the responsibility of enforcing the Florida Fire Prevention Code; Petitioner seeks an interpretation of s. 718.112; s. 633.0215 and Fire Prevention Code 31.3.4.1.1, as it pertains to Petitioner’s particular set of circumstances. Capistrano Condominiums has voted to “forgo retrofitting a fire alarm system and/or engineered life safety system of any kind.” The Declaratory Statement answers the petition by Part one of the question asks whether a fire alarm system is an engineered life safety system. See Tavss, James M., Community Manager, Ro-Mont South Executive Council, case number 83852-05-FM, which explains that a fire alarm system is not in an of itself an engineered life safety system. Part two of the question asks whether the Capistrano Association may opt out of installing a fire alarm system as provided in Section 718.112, Florida Statutes. The Department is not authorized to issue declaratory statements that apply another Department’s statutes to the Petitioner’s particular set of circumstances, but notes that the Department of Business and Professional Regulations has answered a similar question in the negative in a Declaratory Statement captioned, In Re the Petition of James M. Tavss, Community Manager, Ro-Mont South Executive Council, Inc., case number 2006044670. Question: Does Capistrano Association’s vote or “Certificate Attesting to Vote for Waiver of Engineered Lifesafety System Requirements for Capistrano allow the Capistrano Association to forgo the retrofitting of a fire alarm system required by the NFPA 101-31.3.4.1.1?” Answer: The Code requires that apartment buildings with more than eleven dwelling units be provided with a fire alarm system. Whether the buildings in question can opt out of the Code requirements under the provisions of Section 718.112, Florida Statutes, is not within the Department’s jurisdiction to answer.
