South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing Board issued Order No. SFWMD 2008-265-DAO-ERP Granting Temporary Variance under Section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes (Order), dated June 12, 2008 to Riviera HFAH, LLC (Petitioner) for a project known as the Riviera Marina, located in Lee County, Section 13, Township 44 South, Range 24 East. The Petition for Temporary Variance (Application 080402-21) was received by the SFWMD on April 2, 2008. Notice of Receipt of the Petition requesting the temporary variance was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 34, Number 17, on April 25, 2008. Specifically, the Order grants a temporary variance from subsection 40E-4.101(2), F.A.C., regarding content of permit applications. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the temporary variance as follows: 1) the SFWMD has jurisdiction to consider the Petitioner’s request; 2) the Petitioner has provided reasonable assurances that the purpose of the underlying statute will be achieved through other means by the Petitioner; and 3) the Order granting a temporary variance from the subject rule is necessary to prevent the Petitioner from suffering substantial hardship and is necessary to allow for principles of fairness as set forth in Section 120.542, Florida Statutes.
