RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
14-43.001: Regulation of Overhanging Encroachments

The Department of Transportation hereby gives notice:
That on October 19, 2011, the Department of Transportation entered an Order Granting Petition for Waiver. On July 27, 2011, the City of Umatilla filed a petition seeking a permanent waiver of the set-back requirements for overhanging encroachments along a state highway under Rule 14-43.001, F.A.C. Notice of the Petition for Waiver was published in the August 19, 2011, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly. The Petitioner has demonstrated the purpose of the statutes underlying Rule 14-43.001, F.A.C., can be achieved through other means due to the additional set-back offered by the traffic berm located in front to the encroachments.
Petitioner’s request for permanent waiver is granted.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:
Deanna R. Hurt, Assistant General Counsel and Clerk of Agency Proceedings, Florida Department of Transportation, Office of the General Counsel, 605 Suwannee Street, MS #58, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0458, email: [e-mail].
