- Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat (3)
-
the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority (the “SMAA”); The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published June 20, 2014 in Vol. 40, No. 120 of the Florida Administrative Register.
The Petitioner sought a determination by the Department as to the interpretation of section 633.118, Florida Statutes, to determine whether the SMAA is a special fire service provider; and whether it has the authority to function as the authority having jurisdiction to enforce chapter 633, Florida Statutes, within an enclave of airport lands sandwiched between the boundaries of adjacent independent fire control districts.
The Petition was answered in the affirmative that the SMAA is a special district and employs firefighters who have responsibilities for fire protection pursuant to section 633.102, Florida Statutes. Consequently, according to section 633.118, Florida Statutes, the SMAA could be authorized to enforce the Florida Fire Prevention Code. However, the local government in charge of the fire service area possesses the ultimate authority to designate who will enforce the Florida Fire Prevention Code.

Michael Domante (the “Petitioner”); The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published June 23, 2014 in Vol. 40, No. 121 of the Florida Administrative Register.
The Petitioner sought a determination by the Department as to the applicability of the Florida Fire Prevention Code (specifically section 101-42.3.3.2, 10.2, 10.2.1.1, 10.2.6.1, 10.2.6.2 and 6.2.2) as it applies to a mini-storage facility.
The Petition was answered: the authority having jurisdiction (the “AHJ”) has discretion to classify interior finishes that have no ASTM E-84 testing for storage occupancies as unsafe. Additionally, the AHJ can require the owners or occupants of a building to apply a flame retardant product to an interior finish to increase the level of fire protection to unclassified building materials. Moreover, the AHJ has authority to prohibit an interior finish from being used as a ceiling, as it creates a high flame spread and produces toxic black smoke.

Palmetto Capital Group (the “Petitioner”) on August 28, 2014.; The Petition seeks an official determination of whether a small retail store that is 8,995 square feet is required to have fire sprinklers, and whether the standby water tank capacity is required to be larger than 27,000 gallons.
