NOTICE OF DISPOSITION

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing Board issued an Order Granting Waiver under Section 120.542, Florida Statutes (SFWMD 2007-118-DAO-ROW), on May 10, 2007, to Clinton R. Ritter and Debra Toms. The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on March 28, 2007. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the F.A.W., Vol. 33, No. 15, on April 13, 2007. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow an existing, unauthorized boat dock with lift and roof and a pier and irrigation pump to remain within the northeast right of way of L-47 adjacent to 7864 Highway 441, Southeast; S5/T38S/R36E, 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 minimum low member elevation of pile-supported docking facilities and placement of irrigation pumps within 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 would prevent Clinton R. Ritter and Debra Toms from suffering a substantial hardship.
