14-10.007: Maintenance of Nonconforming Signs

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 21, 2007, the Department of Transportation has issued an order.

The Order Denying Petition for Variance or Waiver denied the Petition of Montgomery Ventures, Inc., seeking a variance or waiver from the provisions of paragraph 14-10.007(6)(b), F.A.C. The Petition was received by the Department on February 21, 2007. The Department published its notice of receipt of the petition in the April 13, 2007, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly. Rule 14-10.007, F.A.C., provides that nonconforming signs are deemed abandoned if no advertising copy is posted for a 12 month period. The Department’s Order, issued in DOT Case No. 07-010, dismissed the petition because Petitioner did not demonstrate the loss of a single nonconforming sign would cause a substantial hardship or violate principles of fairness or that the underlying purpose of a single nonconforming sign would cause substantial hardship or violate principles of fairness or that the underlying purpose of Section 479, Florida Statutes, would be achieved by other means.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: the Clerk of Agency Proceedings, Department of Transportation, 605 Suwannee Street, M.S. 58, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0458. For additional information, contact James C. Myers at [phone].
