participate in the administrative hearing.
After an administrative hearing petition is timely filed, mediation is
available pursuant to Sub-section 163.3189(3)(a), F.S., to any affected person
who is made a party to the proceeding by filing that request with the
administrative law judge assigned by the Division of Administrative Hearings.
