On February 19, 2019 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, Paragraph 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, Subparagraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code Section 5-203.13, 2009 FDA Food Code from Master Concessionair LLC located in Miami. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater; that dishwashing facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils are provided, and that each establishment has at least one service sink provided for the cleaning of mops or similar cleaning tools and the disposal of mop water. They are requesting to utilize holding tanks to provide potable water and to collect wastewater at the handwash sink and to share the dishwashing and mop sink facilities with another food service establishment under the same ownership and on the same premise.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 45/xx on February 20, 2019. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on February 28, 2019. 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 sink 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 all the handwash sinks are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure, soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign. The dishwashing, food preparation and mop sink facility within Pizza Hut E/Sam Adams Brewhouse (SEA2322979) must be maintained in a clean and sanitary manner. These areas must also be available to Sergio's during all hours of operation. If the ownership of Sergio's ( Master Concessionair LLC) and Pizza Hut E/ Sam Adams Brewhouse (Master Concessionair LLC SEA2322979) changes, a signed agreement between the two establishments for the use of the shared facilities must be provided to the division immediately.

Public Hearing for the proposed Good Neighbor Trail Gap Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study, in Hernando County, Florida, WPI Segment No.: 437264-2. The FDOT is conducting a public hearing regarding the proposed trail to complete a gap in Florida’s Coast to Coast Trail in the Brooksville area. The proposed gap trail will begin on SR 50 west of Cobb Road and continue easterly through Brooksville, ending at the present Good Neighbor Trail at the intersection of Main Street and Russell Street. The total distance is approximately 3.2 miles. The purpose of this public hearing is to present information and receive public input regarding the proposed gap trail. Information related to historic resources will be provided at the Public Hearing. This will provide information to residents, local public officials, and interested persons and organizations relative to the process and schedule for identifying and evaluating historic resources, determining significant historic properties, and evaluating potential impacts to significant historic properties.
This public hearing will be held in at the following location and date:

Information related to Historic Resources will be presented at the Public Hearing. This will provide information to residents, local public officials, and interested persons and organizations relative to the process and schedule for identifying and evaluating historic resources, determining significant historic properties, and evaluating potential impacts to significant historic properties. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (NHPA) requires federal agencies to consider the effects of projects they carry out, approve, or fund on historic properties. There are four historic properties identified within the project’s area of potential effect (APE) that are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). These historic properties include: the Brooksville Overpass over the CSX Railroad (8HE00389), the Downtown Brooksville Historic District (8HE00854) and its eight contributing resources, the residence at 140 Main Street (8HE00170), and the Brooksville Lumber (8HE00175). The last two are also contributing resources to the historic district. The proposed project is anticipated to result in No Adverse Effect to these historic properties.
The proposed shared use path (“trail”) is expected to range in width from 10 to 12 feet in most areas, but may be as narrow as eight feet along Fridy Place. The trail will be constructed mostly within existing roadway rights-of-way (ROW), a combination of state and local roads. Additional ROW will be required in several areas. Trail bridges are proposed at two locations: across Cortez Boulevard south of W Jefferson Street (SR 50A), and over the CSX Transportation Railroad at Broad Street just west of uptown Brooksville. A culvert extension is proposed over Wombles Creek. The trail surface is proposed to be asphalt for most areas and required improvements to drainage conveyances will be determined during the design phase. In addition to this ongoing PD&E study, the trail is also in the final design phase, with design scheduled to be completed in February 2020.
The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pursuant to 23 U.S. C. §327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
FDOT welcomes and appreciates everyone’s participation. If you have questions about the project or the scheduled hearing, please contact Kirk Bogen, P.E., Environmental Management Office, Project Manager at (813) 975-6398 or

Ciccone, RPH, on behalf of Consulting Pharmacists, Inc.,; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 44, No. 218, of the November 7, 2018, Florida Administrative Register.

The Board of Pharmacy considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on December 11, 2018, in Lake Mary, Florida.
