4. Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Rule Variance or Waiver
- Department of Business and Professional Regulation
- Division of Hotels and Restaurants
- On March 20, 2013 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for a Routine Variance for Subparagraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code, Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2009 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2009 FDA Food Code and Paragraph 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code from Quik Chix located in Orlando. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater, facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils, and areas for food preparation and storage. They are requesting to install holding tanks at a portable handwash sink, and share warewashing, food preparation and food storage areas within another licensed food service establishment under a different ownership on the same premises.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 39/61 on March 28, 2013. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on April 12, 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 sink is emptied at a frequency as to not create a sanitary nuisance; potable water provided must come from an approved source and be protected from contamination during handling. The Petitioner shall also ensure that the handwash sink is provided with hot and cold running water under pressure, soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign. The Petitioner shall also ensure that the three-compartment sink, food preparation and storage areas within Centerplate @ Phase III Kitchen and Centerplate @ PHSDR V Kitchen (SEA5807961 & SEA5811092) are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and all sinks are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure and available during all hours of operation. If the ownership of Centerplate @ Phase III Kitchen or Centerplate @ PHSDR V Kitchen (SEA5807961 & SEA5811092) changes, an updated signed agreement for use of the shared facilities is required immediately.

6. Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat
- Department of Business and Professional Regulation
- Florida Building Commission
- Robert W. Moody, COO of URETEK Holdings, Inc.; The petition was granted, and the Florida Building Commission determined that Section R318.5, Florida Building Code, Residential (2010) does not apply to the installation of a rigid structural geotechnical polymer into the ground as a soil stabilization technique but does fall within the technical scope of the Florida Building Code, Existing Building (2010).
- Lucy Yoon Park on behalf of LRK, Inc.; The petition was denied because it requested an interpretation of the 2012 Florida Accessibility Code involving a provision of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and pursuant to Section 553.775(5), Florida Statutes, may not be interpreted by the Florida Building Commission.
- the City of Ocala Building Department; The petition was granted, and the Florida Building Commission determined that using polyurethane resin for soil stabilization under existing dwellings is not a violation of Section R318.5, Florida Building Code, Residential (2010) because the section is limited in scope to new construction and does not apply to the projects at issue.
- Joseph R. Hetzel, P.E. of Doors & Access Systems Manufacturers Association International; The petition was granted, and the Florida Building Commission determined that the term "protection of openings" is analogous to the term "opening protection" as referenced in Section 1609.1.2, Florida Building Code, Building (2010). It was also determined that Section 1609.1.2 is specific to glazed products.
- Joseph Scofield, President of Advanced Manufacturing & Power Systems, Inc.; The petition was granted, and the Florida Building Commission determined that the generator enclosures in question must be constructed to meet the structural requirements of the Code and the debris impact requirements of Sections 1626.2 through 1626.4, Florida Building Code, Building Volume (2010) as applicable. Further, in order to demonstrate compliance with the debris impact requirements of the Code, the generator enclosure or its components must be either tested to TAS 201, 202, and 203 in accordance with the requirements of Sections 1626.2 and 1626.3, Florida Building Code, Building Volume (2010) as applicable or designed/constructed to meet the "deemed to comply standards" of Section 1626.4 as applicable. Product approval of the enclosure in question as meeting the debris impact requirements of the Code is subject to the review and discretion of the authority having jurisdiction.
