- of the issuance of an Order regarding the Petition for Waiver or Variance, filed on September 18, 2012, by Magnus Baptiste. The Notice of Petition for Waiver or Variance was published in Vol. 38, No. 49, of the October 12, 2012, Florida Administrative Register. Petitioner sought a waiver or variance of Rule 64B14-4.110(1)(a), F.A.C., entitled “Requirements for Orthotic Fitter, Orthotic Fitter Assistant and Pedorthist Licensure,” which requires successful completion of the 32-hours Trulife Healthcare or the 32-hour Surgical Appliance Industries orthotics course and examination. The Board considered the instant Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting, held October 26, 2012, via teleconference.
The Board’s Order, filed on November 7, 2012, granted the petition finding that Petitioner had established that the purpose of the underlying statute, Section 468.803(5)(c)2, Florida Statutes, would be met by granting a variance or waiver from the rule. The Board further found that Petitioner established that applying the requirements of the aforementioned rule to his circumstances would violate principles of fairness and impose substantial hardship.

5. Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat
- Department of Financial Services
- Division of State Fire Marshal
- Concord Management, Limited,; The Petition asks for an interpretation of Section 7.10.1.5.1, NFPA-101 (2009), in order to determine whether the exit and egress arrangement of an apartment building described in the Petition is “readily apparent” for occupants of the apartment building. If such exit and egress arrangement is “readily apparent,” the apartment building is not required to have exit signs according to the section stated above.
- William A. Wagner, III,; This Petition for declaratory statement is being sought under Florida Statutes 633.121; 633.161; 633.025; 509.013; 553.895; 509.242; and F.A.C. 69A-43.019; 69A-3.012; 69A-43; FL Fire Prevention Code LSC-101 sections 3.3.143; 3.3.42; 3.3.83; 3.3.83.1; 3.3.267; and Florida Fire Prevention Code NFPA-1 sections 1.3.4; 4.5.7; 4.5.7.1 as it applies to a structure at 84791 Overseas Hwy., Islamorada, FL. The Village Fire Official has determined, by fire safety inspection, that a portion of the structure is being utilized as a bed and breakfast. The Village Fire Official believes a bed and breakfast use is a “transient public lodging establishment,” within the meaning of Section 509.242(1) F.S., Chapter 69A, sections 43.003, 43.004(2), F.A.C., and NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, section 28.1.1.3. The Declaratory Statement answers the petition by interpreting the above referenced statues and rules for the petitioner.
- Department of Business and Professional Regulation
- Florida Building Commission
- Alfonso Fernandez-Fraga, President of Initial Engineers, P.A.; The petition was granted, and in response to Petitioner's question regarding the requirement of providing hot or tempered water to all public lavatories and the exception allowing leaving out hot or tempered water to hand-washing facilities in non-residential occupancy, the answer is that Section 607.1, Exception, Florida Building Code, Plumbing (2010) is more specific to nonresidential occupancies and provides for a narrower scope of application than Section 416.5, Florida Building Code, Plumbing (2010) . Therefore, the provisions of Section 607.1, Exception, Florida Building Code, Plumbing (2010) will govern with respect to the project in question and hot or tempered water is not required to be provided in a high-rise office building.
