    94(2) The District shall consider the application for a standard right of way occupancy permit at its next regularly scheduled Governing Board meeting following the mailing or electronic mailing of notice of intended agency decision, unless an administrative hearing is requested and granted pursuant to Section 140120.569, F.S. 142If staff’s recommendation is for denial, the District shall consider the application at its next available regularly scheduled Governing Board meeting following the mailing or electronic mailing of notice of intended agency decision, unless an administrative hearing is requested and granted pursuant to Section 186120.569, F.S.

The permit applicant may voluntarily waive the timeline for governing action on the permit application in Section 272120.60, F.S., 274in order to resolve any outstanding issues, including third party objections, regarding the project.

    288(4) Because the District may take a final agency action which materially differs from the noticed intended agency action, applicants and other interested persons should be prepared to defend their position regarding the permit application when it is considered by the District. If the District takes final agency action which materially differs from the intended agency decision, the District shall mail by regular United States mail or electronic mail a notice of the final agency action to all persons who were notified of the intended agency decision.
