On December 03, 2013 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Subparagraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code, Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2009 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2009 FDA Food Code and Paragraph 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code from Joji Yogurt located in Sunrise. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater and that dishwashing facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils are provided. They are requesting to utilize holding tanks to provide potable water and to collect wastewater at the handwash and three-compartment sinks and share the dishwashing area located within an adjacent business under a different ownership.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 39/238 on December 10, 2013. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on December 16, 2013. After a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the wastewater holding tank for the handwash and three-compartment sinks is emptied at a frequency as to not create a sanitary nuisance; and potable water provided must come from an approved source and be protected from contamination during handling. The Petitioner shall also ensure that the handwash and three-compartment sinks within the Kiosk and STAND #416 are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure; the handwash sink is provided with soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign. If the ownership of STAND #416 (Boston Concession Group Inc.) changes, an updated written agreement must be provided to the division immediately.
