Notice of Variances and Waivers

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL SERVICES
Division of State Fire Marshal
Rule No.: RULE TITLE
69A-60.004: Standards of the National Fire Protection Association, NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code, Florida 2006 Edition, Adopted
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 02, 2010, the Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire Marshal, has issued an order.
An Order Denying Petition for Permanent Waiver is in response to a petition filed by Milestone Group, Inc., received by the Department of Financial Services on December 16, 2009, and deemed complete at Milestone’s request on January 21, 2010. The basis for denying the petition is that it does not meet the statutory conditions for waiver in Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, which requires that the status quo meet the level of fire protection intended by the underlying statute, and that the application of the Department’s rule would either create a substantial hardship on the Petitioner, or would affect Petitioner in a manner significantly different from the way it affects other similarly situated persons who are subject to the rule.
A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Lesley Mendelson, Assistant General Counsel, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0340, (850)413-3604 or (850)413-4238, Fax: (850)922-1235 or (850)488-0697 (please advise if you would like it mailed or faxed to you and please include your phone number on your request in case any question arises) or by e-mailing your request to: Lesley.Mendelson@myfloridacfo.com.
