NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on January 8, 2008, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) has issued an order.

The SFWMD Governing Board issued an Order Granting Waiver under Section 120.542, Florida Statutes (SFWMD 2008-007-DAO-ROW), on January 8, 2008, to O.K. Ventures, LLC. The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on November 5, 2007. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the F.A.W., Vol. 33, No. 46, on November 16, 2007. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver for the proposed installation of a 18” RCP culvert and a proposed fourteen slip marina within the east right of way of L-47; Section 9, Township 38 South, Range 36 East, Okeechobee County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from paragraph 40E-6.221(2)(j), Florida Administrative Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District, incorporated by reference in subsection 40E-6.091(1), Florida Administrative Code, which governs the density of mooring slips of four per linear feet of way frontage with Works or Lands of the District. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the waiver, as follows: 1) The facilities will not significantly interfere with the SFWMD’s ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation and maintenance activities; and 2) The Order granting a waiver from the subject rule is based upon principles of fairness.
