The South Florida Water Management District (District) hereby gives notice:
On January 12, 2012, the District’s Governing Board issued SFWMD Order No. 2012-011-DAO-ROW to Florida Power and Light Company (Application No. 11-1109-1M-2). The petition for waiver was received by the District on November 9, 2011. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 48, on December 2, 2011. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow an existing power pole with siren system to remain within the west right of way of L-31E located approximately 141' north of the intersection of L-31E and the North Canal to remain; Section 16, Township 57 South, Range 40 East, Miami-Dade County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from paragraph 40E-6.221(2)(j), Florida Administrative Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the 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 facilities within 40' 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 existing 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 is based upon substantial hardship.
