The Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Bureau of Elevator Safety hereby gives notice:
This is a re-advertisement. The previously advertised Disposition stated an incorrect issue date, and did not specify the rule from which the variance was sought.
On April 18, 2011 the Division issued an order. The Final Order was in response to a Petition for Variance from Atlantis Condo, filed March 16, 2011, and advertised in Vol. 37, No. 13 of the Florida Administrative Weekly. No comments were received in response to the petition. The Final Order on the Petition for Variance denies the Petitioner a variance from Rule 3.11.3 and 2.7.4 ASME A17.3, 1996 edition, as adopted by Chapter 30, Section 3001.2 Florida Building Code adopted by paragraph 61C-5.001(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code, that requires upgrading the elevators for firefighters’ emergency operations and restricted door openings because the Petitioner has failed to meet its burden as the restricted door openings required under the new rules will not be installed within a reasonable time period and no means of meeting the code have been put forth. (VW 2011-090).
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:
Mark Boutin, Bureau of Elevator Safety, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1013.
