Published on: 12871917. that a Final Order granting a waiver from Rule 62-815.013, Florida Administrative Code, was issued on April 11, 2013. The petition was received on February 19, 2013, from the Manatee County Board of County Commissioners requesting a waiver from Rule 62-815.013, Florida Administrative Code, which requires that, following an acquisition of real property in which Preservation 2000 grant funds are used, the grant recipient (and title holder of the real property, if different than the grant recipient) submit annual reports providing specified information about the stewardship and use of the acquired real property. Notice of receipt of the petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on March 1, 2013. No public comment was received. The Final Order (OGC No. 13-0820) granted the petition based on the petitioner showing that the strict application of the rule would violate principles of fairness by treating the petitioner differently than similarly situated recipients of funds from other grant programs and that the purpose of the underlying statute, which is verification of compliance with the grant program, will be achieved by the petitioner through other means.
