RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

62-818.016Consideration of Recipient's Request for Land Exchanges

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice: that an Order was issued on February 26, 2019, granting Seminole County, Florida’s amended petition for a waiver. The amended petition was received on September 28, 2018, and notice of receipt of the amended petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on October 8, 2018. The amended petition requested a waiver from paragraphs 62-818.016(1)(c) and 62-818.016(3)(c), F.A.C., which set forth requirements about the value of parcels when the recipient of grant funds chooses to exchange lands that are subject to certain grant related restrictions. This matter was assigned OGC Case No. 18-1298. No public comments were received. The Order granted the amended petition to paragraphs 62-818.016(1)(c) and 62-818.016(3)(c), F.A.C., based on a showing that Seminole County demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute has been achieved by other means and that application of the rule would violate principles of fairness.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Rita Ventry, telephone [phone], e-mail [e-mail]; Florida Communities Trust, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, 3800 Commonwealth Boulevard, MS 585, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000; during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays.
