40E-6.011: Policy and Purpose

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 14, 2008, the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) Governing Board has issued an order.

Order No. 2008-361-DAO-ROW grants a waiver under Section 120.542, F.S., to Keith A. Reed. The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on May 5, 2008. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 34, No. 20, on May 16, 2008. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow an existing concrete deck, two existing palm trees, miscellaneous items, and plantings to remain within the north right of way of the Golden Gate Main Canal at the rear of 4784 32nd Avenue, S. W.; Section 27, Township 49 South, Range 26 East, Collier County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from subsections 40E-6.011(4) and (5), Florida Administrative Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District Permit Applications within the South Florida Water Management District, incorporated by reference in subsection 40E-6.091(1), Florida Administrative Code, which governs the placement of permanent and/or semi-permanent above-ground encroachments within 40 feet of the top of the canal bank 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 facilities will not significantly 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 would prevent Keith A. Reed from suffering a substantial hardship and a violation of the principles of fairness.

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