The Department of Environmental Protection hereby gives notice:
On October 31, 2011, the Department issued an order granting a variance. This Order grants a variance under Section 120.542, F.S., to Collier County regarding File No. CO-922 V. The variance is related to a Coastal Construction Control Line permit application to construct new beach structures including a viewing deck, concessions, and restroom facility at Vanderbilt Beach Road Park. A petition for variance was received on June 24, 2011. Notice of receipt of petition requesting variance was published in the F.A.W. Vol. 37, No. 27, on July 8, 2011. No public comment was received. The property is located at: 100 Vanderbilt Beach Road (Vanderbilt Beach Road Park), Vanderbilt Beach, Florida. This Order grants a variance from subsection 62B-33.005(8), F.A.C., which requires that major structures be located a sufficient distance landward of the beach and frontal dune. The petition was approved because the petitioner was able to demonstrate that strict adherance to the rule would create a substantial hardship and that the underlying statute’s purpose will be or has been achieved by other means.
A copy of the Order or additional information may be obtained by contacting:
