NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on January 15, 2009, the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants has issued an order.
An Emergency Variance request from subsections 61C-1.004(1) and 61C-4.010(5), F.A.C., was received for Cold Stone Creamery located in Orlando. Specifically, the Petitioner requests to share the three-compartment sink and the mop sink located within an adjacent establishment operated by the same entity.
This variance request was approved contingent upon the Petitioner ensuring the three-compartment sink and mop sink located within Brioche Doree food service are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure and available during all hours of operation. If the owner of the Brioche Doree food service changes, a signed agreement for use of the three-compartment sink and mop sink is required immediately. Any violation of the variance is the equivalent of a violation of the Rule and may result in a rescission of the variance and subject the Petitioner to disciplinary sanctions as enumerated in Section 509.261, Florida Statutes.
