The Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice: That it has issued an order on June 11, 2020 granting Cheri and Randall Futch’s Petition for a Variance. The Petition was received on March 23, 2020. Notice of receipt of this Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Register on March 30, 2020. The petition requested a variance from the rule provisions of subsections 62B-33.002(12), 62B-33.002(39), 62B-33.002(59), and subparagraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a)1, F.A.C., which requires that in order to qualify for a permit for coastal armoring, the structure proposed to be protected must be an eligible structure. The Order, OGC file number 20-0701, granted the Petition based on a showing that Petitioner demonstrated that a strict application of the rule would result in substantial hardship to Petitioner or would affect Petitioner differently than other similarly situated applicants and because Petitioner demonstrated that the purpose of the underlying statute will be or has been achieved by other means.
