- Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver (3)

-
that on August 9, 2013, it has issued an order granting a variance.
Petitioner's Name: Blue Jay Estates – File Tracking No. 13-4173
Date Petition Filed: July 2, 2013
Rule No.: 40D-22.201, F.A.C.
Nature of the rule for which variance or waiver was sought: lawn and landscape irrigation
Date Petition Published in the Florida Administrative Register: July 5, 2013
General Basis for Agency Decision: Petitioner demonstrated substantial hardship and proposed an alternative means of achieving the purpose of the statute implemented by the rule.
-
On July 31, 2013 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 Henry's Gourmet Popcorn located in Pensacola. 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 and three-compartment sinks.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 39/150 on August 02, 2013. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on August 08, 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 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.
