The Department received a Petition for an Emergency Variance on January 11, 2010 for Section 509.221(1)(b), Florida Statutes, Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2001 FDA Food Code, paragraph 61C-1.004(1)(d), Florida Administrative Code, Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2001 FDA Food Code, Section 5-203.13, 2001 FDA Food Code, subsections 61C-4.010(5), and 61C-1.004(1), Florida Administrative Code, from Crepe Royale, Orlando, FL. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirements that each establishment have facilities for washing, rinsing and sanitizing dishes and utensils; discharge sewage into an approved collection system; and install an approved plumbing system. They are requesting to install potable and waste water holding tanks and share warewashing and mop wash facilities with another licensed public food service within the same enclosed building.
The variance request was published in Vol. 36, No. 04, January 29, 2010 and approval is contingent upon the petitioner ensuring the dishwashing facility and mop sink located within Orlando FoodService Partners-Main Kitchen are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and provided with hot and cold running water under pressure and available during all hours of operation. The waste water holding tanks must be emptied at a frequency as to not create a sanitary nuisance; and the potable water provided must come from an approved source and be protected from contamination during handling. The petitioner shall only operate within the enclosed building of the arena. If the owner of Orlando FoodService Partners-Main Kitchen changes, an updated signed agreement for use of the dishwashing and mop sink facility is required immediately.
