NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on January 09, 2006 The Bureau of Elevator Safety, it Issued an Order Granting Emergency Variance Request in response to a petition filed on December 9, 2005 and advertised in FAW Vol. 32, No. 01, received a petition for Lee Rigby of Vertical Assessment Associates on behalf of Tri-Rail Constructors (Petition VW 2005-181) seeking a waiver from Chapter 110.3(b), A.S.M.E. 17.1, 1996 Edition with 1997 Addenda, as adopted by Section 61C-5.001, Florida Administrative Code. The petitioner requested to have the doors remain open when the units are not in operation. The petition was granted as it was demonstrated the intent of the code was to restrict the spread of fire within a building and the construction of the towers negated this concern as they are free-standing structures service the rail platform only with no attached buildings.
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 1940, North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2202.
