NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 15, 2015, the Dept. of Environmental Protection’s Coastal Construction Control Line Program, received a petition for permanent variance from George and Cynthia Andrew seeking a variance from the rule provisions of subsection 62B-33.002(18), F.A.C., which defines “Eligible Structures”; subsection 62B-33.002(43), F.A.C., which defines “Nonconforming Structures”; and subparagraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a)1, F.A.C., which states that “[c]onstruction of armoring shall be authorized under the following conditions: 1. The proposed armoring is for the protection of an eligible structure.” The Petitioners seek a variance to construct a coastal armoring structure to protect their conforming home from additional erosion, and prevent pollution to the state waters as the home’s sewer and water connection is located under the slab and is in imminent danger as a result of recent coastal storms in St. John's County. Additionally, an LP tank to service various gas appliances is buried along the north side of the dwelling in line with the seaward edge of the property. The proposed activities associated with the variance are located at 4588 Coastal Highway, St. Augustine, Florida. The petition has been assigned CCCL File # SJ-1217 AR V and OGC File #15-0294. No permit application has been submitted.

A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Larry Teich, DEP Coastal Construction Control Line Program, 2600 Blair Stone Road, MS 3522, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, [e-mail], [phone], during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays.

Written comments must be received by the Department of Environmental Protection no later than 14 day from the date of publication of this notice.
