- of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on October 25, 2018, by Albin J. Varoski III. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 44, No. 213, of the October 31, 2018, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of Rule 61J2-3.009(3), Florida Administrative Code, entitled, “Continuing Education for Active and Inactive Broker and Sales Associate Licensees,” which states that a provider shall issue notice of satisfactory classroom course completion only to a licensee attending a minimum of 90% of each of the classroom hours. The Commission considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held December 12, 2018, in Orlando, Florida.
The Commission’s Order, filed on January 22, 2019, denied the petition finding that Petitioner had failed to establish that the purpose of the underlying statute would be met by granting a variance from Rule 61J2-3.009(3), F.A.C. The Board further found that Petitioner failed to establish that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

CFX Project No.: 599-224
Project Description: CFX Poinciana Parkway Extension Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study
This PD&E study is refining and evaluating the alternatives from the earlier Poinciana Parkway Extension Concept, Feasibility, and Mobility Study.
The project has been broken into phases for further evaluation, with the CFX PD&E Study focusing on the extension to County Road (CR) 532. If the project is subsequently approved, it would move into design for eventual construction. A later phase will provide a connection to I-4, either at State Road 429 or at CR 532.
The overall goals of the Poinciana Parkway Extension are to enhance mobility from CR 532 to Poinciana Parkway; reduce congestion and delays on local roads; expand regional connectivity; provide transportation infrastructure to support planned growth; provide consistency with local plans and policies; and enhance safety.
As a special advisory resource to the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) and the consultant team, the EAG is providing input regarding local needs, concerns and potential physical, natural, social and cultural impacts that is crucial in the evaluation of corridor and alternative alignments.
