NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on December 08, 2006, the Bureau of Elevator Safety has issued an order.
Granting Emergency Variance Request in response to a petition filed on November 14, 2006 and advertised in the F.A.W., Vol. 32, No. 42 (VW 2006-245), by A. Danial Fowler of Lunz Prebor Fowler Architects, regarding Brush and Pajol Law Office. The petition sought a waiver from Rule 3.4.6.1, A.S.M.E. A17.1, 2000 Edition as adopted by the 2004 Florida Building Code which requires a minimum 12 ft. from the top landing to the top of the elevator shaft. The petition was granted as the area lacking the proper clearance was limited to a small portion of the shaft due to the slanted roof above the shaft and the required refuge space was still present.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Business and Professional Regulation, 1940 North Monroe Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2202.
