NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on September 22, 2008, the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems has issued an order.

Notice of receipt of this petition, from Gervaise J. Stokes, 3500 Coastal Hwy., Vilano Beach, St. Augustine, was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, on May 16, 2008. The petition requested a variance from general armoring criteria under subsections 62B-33.002(18), (19), (44), and (64), subparagraphs 62B-33.0051(1)(a)1., 62B-33.0051(1)(a)2., and 62B-33.0051(1)(a)3., F.A.C., to construct coastal armoring to protect a private residence. No public comment was received. The Order, file number SJ-1029 AR V, partially granted the Petition as it relates to the eligibility criteria in subsections 62B-33.002(18) and (44), and subparagraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a)1., F.A.C., based on a showing that Petitioner demonstrated that a strict application of the rule would result in substantial hardship to Petitioner or would affect Petitioner differently than other similarly situated applicants and because Petitioner had successfully fulfilled the requirements of the underlying statute by other means.
