- A petition was filed on October 29, 2009, by Archibald and Martha Thomas, William and Debra Herron, and Laura Lundberg (Neary), requesting a renewal of a variance from subsections 62B-33.002(18), (19) and Rule 62B-33.0051, F.A.C. A variance was previously granted October 31, 2008, #SJ-1031 AR V, but expired. The properties are located at 3550, 3560 and 3570 Coastal Highway, Vilano Bch., in St. Johns County, FL. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on November 13, 2009. On November 17, 2009, an amended renewal of petition for variance was received requesting a permanent variance from subsections 62B-33.002(18) and (19), F.A.C., which defines “eligible structures” and “emergency protection”, respectively, and from Rule 62B-33.0051, F.A.C., which provides general armoring criteria. No public comment was received. The Order, #SJ-1031 AR V2, grants a variance from subsection 62B-33.002(18) and subparagraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a)1., F.A.C., only, and for a one year time period. No variance is granted for remaining sections in Rule 62B-33.002 or 62B-33.0051, F.A.C. The variance is granted based upon the Petitioner’s demonstration that a strict application of the rule would result in substantial hardship to the Petitioner and because Petitioner had successfully fulfilled the requirements of the underlying statute by other means.

- SFWMD Order No.: 2010-069-DAO-ROW was issued to AT&T Florida (Application No. 09-1217-2). The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on February 8, 2010. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 36, No. 7, on February 19, 2010. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow for the installation of a temporary aerial crossing with poles located west of State Road 7 Bridge crossing the C-51 Canal while Palm Beach County is widening the bridge; Section 1, 36, Township 43, 44 South, Range 41, 42 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 facilities within forty feet of the top of the canal bank and within the District’s equipment staging areas located 100 feet upstream or downstream of pile-supported crossings within works or land of the District.

- The Department received an Emergency Variance on April 7, 2010, for Subparagraph 3-304.11, FDA Food Code, 3-305.11(A)(2), 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 3-305.14, 2001 FDA Food Code, Subparagraph 4-301.12(A), 2001 FDA Food Code, Subparagraph 4-602.11(A)(5), 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 6-202.15, 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 6-202.16, 2001 FDA Food Code, subsections 61C-4.010(1), (5), (6) and 61C-4.161(1), Florida Administrative Code, from Joy Wallace Catering, Miami, FL. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement for proper handling, protection and dispensing of food and sanitization of food contact surfaces. They are requesting to dispense potentially hazardous foods from a smoker unit mounted on an open air trailer.
The initial request will post in Vol. 36, No. 17 on 4/30/10 and concludes that the Petitioner’s request for variance fails to meet the burden of demonstrating public health safeguards. The following are some of the public health reasons regarding the need to provide adequate warewashing facilities and food protection/enclosure structure (found in the Public Health Reasons/Administrative Guidelines of the 2001 FDA Food Code Annex 3):
Pathogens can be transferred to food from utensils that have been stored on surfaces which have not been cleaned and sanitized. Some pathogenic microorganisms survive outside the body for considerable periods of time. Food that comes into contact directly or indirectly with surfaces that are not clean and sanitized is liable to such contamination. The handles of utensils, even if manipulated with gloved hands, are particularly susceptible to contamination. Pathogens can also contaminate and/or grow in food that is not stored properly.
Food-contact surfaces and equipment used for potentially hazardous foods should be cleaned as needed throughout the day but must be cleaned no less than every 4 hours to prevent the growth of microorganisms on those surfaces.
The three-compartment sink requirement allows for proper execution of the 3-step manual warewashing procedure. If properly used, the three compartments reduce the chance of contaminating the sanitizing water and therefore diluting the strength and efficacy of the chemical sanitizer that may be used.
Sources of environmental contamination may include…air from an uncontrolled atmosphere such as may be encountered when preparing food in a building that is not constructed according to Food Code requirements.
Insects and rodents are vectors of disease-causing microorganisms which may be transmitted to humans by contamination of food and food-contact surfaces. The presence of insects and rodents is minimized by protecting outer openings to the food establishment.
Walls and roofs provide a barrier to protect the interior and foods from the weather, windblown dirt and debris, and flying insects.
There is a reasonable alternative to the requested variance. The petitioner owns and operates a licensed Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle which if operated in conjunction with a screened, closed-system smoker unit would be in compliance with the above requirements. The petitioner has chosen not to pursue this alternative.
The hardship has been deliberately caused by the petitioner’s decision to not use the reasonable alternative of utilizing the currently licensed Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicle in conjunction with the smoker unit.
Therefore the Division concludes that this variance submission meets none of the statutory criteria for granting a variance.
Granting this variance in its current format would create an undesirable precedent upon which all types of mobile food dispensing units could claim a variance. Granting this variance would be inconsistent with the principles of public safety and sanitation articulated in Section 509.032(e)(1), F.S., for public food service establishments enforced by the Division. Based on the foregoing, the Division concludes that the Petitioner’s request for variance fails to meet the burden of demonstration that required safety and sanitation safeguards have otherwise been met.
- a temporary variance from Jon T. Randle on behalf of USF Marine Science Bldg., St. Petersburg, FL. Petitioner seeks a variance of the requirements of ASME A17.3, Sections 3.11.1, 3.11.1(a)(1) and (a)(2), 3.4.5, 3.10.5 and 2.2.2, as adopted by Chapter 30, Section 3001.2 Florida Building Code adopted by paragraph 61C-5.001(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code, which require top of car operator devices, in-car alarm and two-way communication devices, emergency lights in the car, mainline disconnecting means, and access to the machine room. Petitioner states that this 1940 vintage elevator will be taken out of service as soon as new elevator can be installed so spending the considerable funds necessary to make these repairs would be lost. Any interested person may file comments within 14 days of the publication of this notice with: Mark Boutin, Bureau of Elevator Safety, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1013.

- Stephen M. Hodge; The Petition asks for an interpretation of the Florida Building Code, Section 553.73(9)(i), Florida Statutes, and National Fire Protection Association (“NFPA”) Standard 1-10.1.3. However, the Department’s interpretation of the NFPA standard is dependent on the Florida Building Code’s interpretation of Section 553.73(0)(i), Florida Statutes. According to Section 120.565, Florida Statutes, an agency can only interpret and apply its own statutes, rules and orders in a declaratory statement. Since the Department cannot opine on Chapter 553, Florida Statutes, the questions in the Petition cannot be answered and the Petition for a Declaratory Statement is denied.
