-
at the South Florida Water Management District (District) issued an Order Granting Variance under Sections 120.542, 373.083, and 373.62, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 40E-24, Florida Administrative Code (Order 2011-014-DAO-WU), dated February 10, 2011, to the City of Port St. Lucie, located in St. Lucie County. The Petition for Variance (Application 101006-15) was received by the District on October 6, 2010. Notice of receipt of the Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 36, No. 42, on October 22, 2010. This Order provides a variance for the City of Port St. Lucie. Specifically, the Order grants a variance from paragraph 40E-24.201(7)(a), F.A.C., requiring landscape irrigation on specific days of the week for properties identified in Exhibits “B” and “C” of the Order. Generally, the order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the variance, as follows: 1) Pursuant to Section 373.62(7), Fla. Stat., the Legislature authorized the granting of a variance from day of the week irrigation restrictions to those entities utilizing smart irrigation systems that have soil moisture sensors with remote monitoring and adjustment capabilities. Port St. Lucie has demonstrated that the irrigation system it employs at the properties identified in Exhibits “B” and “C” of the Order meet the requirements of Section 373.62(7), Fla. Stat.; and 2) It would be a substantial hardship to force a sophisticated computer-controlled irrigation system with remote monitoring and soil moisture sensors such as the one employed by Port St. Lucie to conform to day-of-the-week irrigation restrictions and result in the loss of Port St. Lucie’s investment in the system.

Keith L Jones, CPA
; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Vol. 36, No. 41, of the October 15, 2010, Florida Administrative Weekly. Petitioner sought the Board’s interpretation of subsection 61H1-21.005(2), F.A.C., entitled “Contingent Fees.” Petitioner asks whether the completion of an application of the Florida Enterprise Zones jobs credit sales tax on a contingency fee basis in compliance with the rule. The Board of Accountancy considered the Petition at its meeting held on December 3, 2010, in Tallahassee, Florida. The Board’s Order, filed on February 7, 2011, answered the question of the Petition for Declaratory Statement in the affirmative, finding that because the completed application is reviewed in detail by the taxing authority prior to approval, the determination of eligibility for the credit is made by the taxing authority and not by the Florida certified public accountant who completed the form. Thus, under these circumstances, Petitioner is able to complete an application for the Florida Enterprise Zones jobs credit sales tax on a contingency fee basis.

Tipple’s Brews of Gainesville, LLC., Docket Number DS 2011-014.
; The Petitioner requests a declaratory statement inquiring as to whether or not a retailer that holds a 2COP alcoholic beverage license is prohibited from selling growlers under Section 562.34(1), Florida Statutes. Petitioner states that growlers are sealable containers which are filled at the beer tap of retail establishments. Furthermore, Petitioner states that growlers are used by small retail specialty beer stores as a cost-effective way to carry select, craft-beers that may not otherwise be available. Specifically, because Section 562.34(1), Florida Statutes, governs “Enforcement” of alcoholic beverage laws and for purposes of “maintaining control over delivery and distribution of alcohol through tax laws;” the Petitioner inquires as to why the Division has interpreted the above-referenced statute to prohibit a course of conduct when there is no legislative statement that bans the sale of growlers. According to Petitioner, all licensing and tax requirements are met in the case of growlers because the taxes for the beer is paid for and reported to the Division at the manufacturer level, by the wholesaler, and records are kept after retail delivery to the store.
