- SFWMD Order No. 2009-033-DAO-ROW was issued pursuant to Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, to Paul Venturelli (Application No. 08-1205-1M). The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on December 5, 2008. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 34, No. 51, December 19, 2008. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow existing landscaping consisting of palm trees, low lying planters and a paver stairway/walkway to remain within the northerly right of way of the C-51 Canal, located at the rear of 246 Arlington Road; Section 15, Township 44 South, Range 43 East, Palm Beach County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from subsections 40E-6.011(4) and (6), Florida Administrative Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District, incorporated by reference in subsection 40E-6.091(1), Florida Administrative Code, which governs the placement of permanent and/or semi-permanent above-ground encroachments within 40 feet of the top of the canal bank within Works or Lands of the District. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the waiver, as follows: 1) the facilities will not significantly interfere with the District’s current ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation, and routine maintenance activities; and 2) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule would prevent Paul Venturelli from suffering a violation of the principles of fairness.

- variance or waiver which stated that Cotton States Mutual Insurance Company was seeking a waiver from the requirements of Rule Chapter 69L-56, Florida Administrative Code. On February 17, 2009, the Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers’ Compensation received an amended petition for variance or waiver, from Cotton States Mutual Insurance Company, pursuant to Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-104.002, Florida Administrative Code. The Petitioner is requesting a variance or waiver from Rule 69L-56.300, Florida Administrative Code, which sets forth requirements for filing certain workers’ compensation claims information with the Division of Workers’ Compensation via electronic data interchange rather than by submitting paper forms. Cotton States Mutual Insurance Company requests the variance or waiver so that it may submit by paper the information for its one open Florida workers’ compensation claim rather than being required to submit the information via electronic data interchange. The amended petition is a clarification of the original petition submitted on February 11, 2009, in that it specifies the precise provision of Rule Chapter 69L-56, Florida Administrative Code, of which a waiver is being sought. The petitioner has filed a statement with the Department withdrawing the original petition dated February 11, 2009. Therefore, the Department will only consider the Amended Petition filed on February 17, 2009.
Comments on this petition should be filed with: Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers’ Compensation, 200 E. Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4229, within 14 days of publication of this notice.

The Petitioner is requesting a variance or waiver from Rule 69L-56.300, Florida Administrative Code, which sets forth requirements for filing certain workers’ compensation claims information with the Division of Workers’ Compensation via electronic data interchange rather than by submitting paper forms. GMAC Insurance Company requests the variance or waiver so that it may submit by paper the information for its two open Florida workers’ compensation claims rather than being required to submit the information via electronic data interchange. On February 17, 2009, GMAC Insurance Company filed a request to withdraw the original petition, dated February 10, 2009, due to an incorrect rule citation. Therefore, the Department will only consider the amended petition filed on February 17, 2009.
Comments on this petition should be filed with: Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers’ Compensation, 200 E. Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4229, within 14 days of publication of this notice.
- Department of Environmental Protection
- Departmental
- The Department of Environmental Protection gives notice of its intent to grant a variance under Section 403.201, F.S., from the provisions of paragraph 62-4.244(5)(c), F.A.C., to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, 701 San Marco Blvd., Jacksonville, FL 32207, (File No. 158893-006-BV) to allow a temporary expanded mixing zone of 500 meters downcurrent from the point of sand discharge into the nearshore disposal area off of Estero Island, Lee County, Gulf of Mexico, Class III Waters. The project authorizes the restoration and maintenance dredging of portions of the Matanzas Pass Federal Navigation channel totaling approximately 219,100 cubic yards of sand. The dredge site is located at Matanzas Pass, Lee County, Section, 24 Township 46S, Range 23E, Gulf of Mexico, Class III Waters. The material will be placed in the nearshore seaward of the bar on Estero Island between DEP Reference Monuments R-182 and R-187A. The Department’s file on this matter is available for public inspection during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, 5050 West Tennessee Street, Bldg. B, Tallahassee, FL 32304, (850)245-2542.
A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may petition for an administrative proceeding (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000.
Mediation under Section 120.573 of the Florida Statutes is not available.
Because the administrative hearing process is designed to redetermine final agency action on the application, the filing of a petition for an administrative hearing may result in a modification of the agency action or even a denial of the application. If a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing or request for an extension of time to file a petition is timely filed, this agency action automatically becomes only proposed agency action on the application, subject to the result of the administrative review process. Accordingly, the applicant is advised not to commence construction or other activities in accordance with this variance until the deadlines noted below for filing a petition for an administrative hearing, or request for an extension of time has expired.
Under subsections 28-106.111(3) and 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, before the applicable deadline. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon. If a request is filed late, the Department may still grant it upon a motion by the requesting party showing that the failure to file a request for an extension of time before the deadline was the result of excusable neglect.
In the event that a timely and sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is filed, other persons whose substantial interests will be affected by the outcome of the administrative process have the right to petition to intervene in the proceeding. Any intervention will be only at the discretion of the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.
In accordance with subsection 28-106.111(2), paragraph 62-110.106(3)(a) and subsection (4), F.A.C., petitions for an administrative hearing by the applicant must be filed within 14 days of receipt of this written notice. Petitions filed by any persons other than the applicant, and other than those entitled to written notice under Section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the notice or within 14 days of receipt of the written notice, whichever occurs first.
Under Section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication.
The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S.
A petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests are or will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts that the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; and (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes that the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action that the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action.
A petition that does not dispute the material facts on which the Department’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by Rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Under Sections 120.569(2)(c) and (d), F.S., a petition for administrative hearing must be dismissed by the agency if the petition does not substantially comply with the above requirements or is untimely filed.
This action is final and effective on the date filed with the Clerk of the Department unless a petition is filed in accordance with the above. Upon the timely filing of a petition this order will not be effective until further order of the Department.
This variance constitutes an order of the Department. The applicant has the right to seek judicial review of the order under Section 120.68, Florida Statutes, by the filing of a notice of appeal under Rule 9.110, Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, with the: Clerk of the Department in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399 3000; and by filing a copy of the notice of appeal accompanied by the applicable filing fees with the appropriate district court of appeal. The notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days from the date when the final order is filed with the Clerk of the Department.

- Mr. Robert Jamieson on behalf of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., DCA08-DEC-204,; The Commission clarified certain information that must be recorded on the Administrative Validation Checklist, adopted by reference under paragraph 9B-72.130(3)(a), Florida Administrative Code.
- Mr. Neil Melick, on behalf of the City of West Palm Beach Building Services Department, DCA08-DEC-205,; The Commission determined that Section 301.13, Florida Building Code, Mechanical Volume (2004 as amended 5/21/07) requires that all mechanical equipment exposed to wind must be designed for wind resistance, regardless of whether manufacturers of that equipment are willing to provide design information and documentation; that the word “resist” as used in Section 301.13 of the Mechanical Volume has the same meaning as the word “withstand” as used in Section 1609 of the Building Volume; that the local building official may withhold or revoke a Certificate of Occupancy if the permit holder fails to demonstrate that mechanical equipment is designed to withstand the appropriate wind forces; and that the Commission lacks authority to determine whether it is the responsibility of the appliance manufacturer to design their outdoor appliances to resist wind pressures, although the Code would clearly envision that the equipment either be designed for wind resistance by its manufacturer, the design for wind resistance be confirmed by an appropriate design professional, or that the equipment be housed within a structure that is designed for wind resistance.
- Mr. Luke Ismert, on behalf of the Schier Products Company, DCA08-DEC-208,; The Commission determined that Section 1003.3.4, Florida Building Code, Plumbing Volume (2004 as amended 05/21/07) does not permit the use of grease interceptors with a liquid capacity of less than 750 gallons, although Section 104.11, Florida building Code, Building volume (2004 as amended 5/21/07) provides the building official discretion to allow construction that he or she determines is equivalent.
- Mr. Tom Hardiman, on behalf of the Modular Building Institute, DCA08-DEC-209,; The Commission determined that Section 105.3, Florida Building Code, Building Volume (2007), in conjunction with subsection 9B-1.009(5), Florida Administrative Code, and Part I of Chapter 553, Florida Statutes, permit manufacturers to complete all buildings for which a clear, signed contract is in place, as long as the construction activity is commenced within six months of the contract’s execution and the contract is subject to verification by the Department of Community Affairs.
- Mr. Vincent Vaulman, on behalf of the Madison, Kneppers & Associates, Inc., DCA08-DEC-216,; The Commission determined that the Commission is not authorized to provide, by declaratory statement, a general delineation of the alteration levels defined within the Florida Building Code, Existing Building Volume, the law restricts this authority to an interpretation of the Code in the context of Petitioner’s particular facts and circumstances; that the percentage of area within a building subject to work such as that described in the Petition bears no relation to the Code’s delineation of that work as repair or alteration; that the existence of conditions in a building prior to that building sustaining hurricane damage bears no relation to the classification of the work to be performed as repair or alteration; and that the nature of the work described in the petition appears to fall under the classification of Alteration, Level 1.
- Mr. W. Vincent, on behalf of Construction Specialities, Inc., DCA08-DEC-236,; The Commission determined that Section 1609, Florida Building Code, Building Volume (2007), does not require louvers that are located more than 30 feet above grade or louvers that are not attached to ducts, to demonstrate impact resistance, when installed within the wind borne debris region and outside the high velocity hurricane zone; the minimum test standard applicable to louvers does not include cyclic testing after the impact test, but a static test is required.
- Mr. W. Vincent, on behalf of Construction Specialties, Inc., DCA08-DEC-237,; The Commission determined that custom engineered louvers are subject to requirements contained within the Florida Building Code, including structural wind load requirements, and use of louvers in construction subject to the Florida Building Code is subject to review and approval by the local authority having jurisdiction; however, State Approval by the Commission may be obtained as an alternative to local approval under Chapter 9B-72, Florida Administrative Code. In order for a standard louver to demonstrate compliance with the Code, it must be tested to the applicable standards specified by the Code, and rational analysis cannot be used in lieu of testing.
- Mr. W. Vincent, on behalf of Construction Specialties, Inc., DCA08-DEC-238,; The Commission clarified some of the requirements of the Florida Building with regard to wind pressure and impact testing of louvers.
- Mr. W. Vincent, on behalf of Construction Specialties, Inc., DCA08-DEC-239,; The Commission determined that all products (including louvers) used in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone (“HVHZ”) must be in compliance with Florida Building Code requirements specific to the HVHZ. Demonstration of compliance with the Code can be either by obtaining state approval pursuant to Chapter 9B-72, Florida Administrative Code, or by local approval; the building official may deny the local application of a product which has received statewide approval if the official concludes that the product application is inconsistent with the statewide approval.
- Mr. Chris Birchfield, on behalf of No-Burn SE, Inc., DCA08-DEC-257,; The Commission determined that the Petitioner’s product, a line of fire-retardant coatings for use in buildings constructed in accordance with the Florida Building Code, are outside the scope of state product approval under Chapter 9B-72, Florida Administrative Code, but are subject to review and approval at the local level. Elements of such a plan or design could be subject to approval by the local authority having jurisdiction.
- Mr. David Sands, on behalf of Bamboo Technologies, DCA08-DEC-258,; The Commission determined that the Petitioner’s product, bamboo poles for use in buildings constructed in accordance with the Florida Building Code, are raw material that are outside the scope of state product approval under Chapter 9B-72, Florida Administrative Code, but are subject to review and approval at the local level.
- Ms. Sandra Gump, on behalf of Fomo Products, Inc., DCA08-DEC-268,; The Commission determined that the Petitioner’s product, a “polyurethane foam plastic sealant that expands to take the shape of cracks and voids,” called “Handi-Foam Spray Foam,” is outside the scope of state product approval under Chapter 9B-72, Florida Administrative Code, but is subject to review and approval at the local level.
- Mr. Kenneth E. Norton, on behalf of Power Design, Inc., DCA08-DEC-275,; The Commission determined that Rule 9B-3.0472, Florida Administrative Code, and Section 553.885(1), Florida Statutes, require: 1) that carbon monoxide detectors be installed within ten feet of each sleeping room in an entire 7 story residential condominium building that surrounds a 3 level parking garage; 2) that carbon monoxide detectors be installed within ten feet of each sleeping room in every residential unit in a 5 story, high-density residential apartment building where several units are equipped with fossil burning fire places; 3) that carbon monoxide detectors be installed within ten feet of each sleeping room in an entire 30 story residential high rise that has no other fossil burning appliances except a diesel powered emergency generator on the first floor.
