Division of Community Development

The Department of Economic Opportunity hereby gives notice:

On May 10, 2017, the Department of Economic Opportunity (Department) received a petition for variance and waiver from the City of Palmetto (City). The petition sought a variance and waiver from subparagraph 73C-23.0041(6)(g)3, Florida Administrative Code, which requires the Engineer’s Certification Letter, submitted as part of the Federal Fiscal Year 2017 Small Cities Community Development Grant application, to be addressed to the Chief Elected Official.

The notice of the petition was published in the May 26, 2017, issue of the Florida Administrative Register. On July 26, 2017, the Department issued an Order approving the City’s petition. The City demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute had been achieved by other means and that the strict application of a rule would create a substantial hardship.

A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting Stephanie Chatham, Agency Clerk, Department of Economic Opportunity, 107 E. Madison Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399, [e-mail].
