NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 15, 2009, the South Florida Water Management District (District) Governing Board has issued an order.
SFWMD Order No. 2009-262-DAO-ROW was issued to the Florida Department of Transportation (Application No. 09-0806-2M). The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on September 8, 2009. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 35, No. 37, on September 18, 2009. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow the installation of one multi-post street sign within the C-11 Canal right of way, Section 26, Township 50 South, Range 40 East, Broward County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from subsections 40E-6.011(4) and (6), 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 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 the Florida Department of Transportation from a suffering a substantial hardship.
