The South Florida Water Management District hereby gives notice:

On June 14, 2018, the District’s Governing Board issued SFWMD Order No. 2018-024-DAO-ROW to Lakeport Lodge (Application No. 17-1031-2). The petition for waiver was received by the District on May 1, 2018. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Register, Vol. 44, No. 86 on June 2, 2018. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District's criteria for utilization of the District right of way to allow a screened structure on an existing dock to remain in the north right of way of the L-49 Canal at the rear of the property located at 1077 Lakeport Plaza; Section 18/Township 40S/Range 33E, Glades County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from paragraph 40E-6.221(3)(j), Fla. Admin. Code, and the Right of Way Criteria Manual for Use of Works or Lands of the District, incorporated by reference in subsection 40E-6.091(1), Fla. Admin. Code, which prohibits the full or partial enclosure of structures on docks with walls, screens or windows 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 proposed use will not interfere with the District's current ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation, and routine maintenance activities; and 2) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule is based upon a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting: Juli Russell at the South Florida Water Management District, 3301 Gun Club Road, MSC 1410, West Palm Beach, FL 33406-4680; telephone: [phone] or by email at: [e-mail].
