62B-41.0075: Experimental Coastal Construction

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT on January 23, 2008, the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems has issued an order.

Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the F.A.W., on January 19, 2007. The variance request was requested by the Town of Hillsboro Beach c/o Coastal Engineering Consultants and received by the Department on December 13, 2006. The petition requested a variance from paragraph 62B-41.0075(1)(b), F.A.C., for an experimental coastal construction project. This rule states that, “the proposed location must be properly suited for a non-biased comprehensive analysis of the results of the proposed coastal construction.” No public comment was received. The Order, file number 0269543-001-JC and OGC file number 07-2736, granted the Petition, based on a showing that the Petitioner demonstrated that a strict application of the rule would result in substantial hardship to the 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.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Lizbeth Childs, Department of Environmental Protection, 3900 Commonwealth Blvd. MS 300, Florida 32399-3000, [phone].
