- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (2)
-
On July 17, 2017 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Subparagraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code and Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2009 FDA Food Code from Sphinx Enterprises Inc. located in Doral. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater. They are requesting to utilize holding tanks to provide potable water and to collect wastewater at the handwash sink and the three compartment sink.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 43/138 on July 18, 2017. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on July 24, 2017. 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 and the three compartment 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 the handwash sink and the three compartment sink is provided with hot and cold running water under pressure, and that the handwash sink is provided with soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign.
-
On July 24, 2017, the Division issued an order. The Final Order was in response to a Petition for a temporary Variance from Pathtech Building, filed July3, 2017, and advertised on July 6, 2017 in Vol. 43, No.130, of the Florida Administrative Register. No comments were received in response to the petition. The Final Order on the Petition for Variance grants the Petitioner a variance from Rule 3.11.3, A.S.M.E. A17.3, 1996 edition, as adopted by Rule 61C-5.001(1)(a) Florida Administrative Code that requires fire fighter’s service because the Petitioner has demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been met and that Petitioner would suffer a substantial hardship if required to comply with this rule (VW2017-108).
