NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on April 29, 2010, the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems has issued an order.
A petition was filed on November 30, 2009, by George and Kimberly Matthews, requesting a variance from subsections 62B-33.002(18), (64) and paragraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a), F.A.C. The property is located at 2890 East Highway 30A, Santa Rosa Beach, in Walton County. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on December 18, 2009. The petition for variance requested a permanent variance from subsections 62B-33.002(18) and (64), F.A.C., which defines “eligible structures” and “vulnerable”, respectively, and from Rule 62B-33.0051, F.A.C., which provides general armoring criteria. No public comment was received. The Order, WL-1041 AR V, grants a variance from subsections 62B-33.002(18) and (64) and paragraph 62B-33.0051(1)(a), F.A.C. The variance is granted based upon the Petitioner’s demonstration that a strict application of the rule would result in substantial hardship to the Petitioner and because Petitioner had successfully fulfilled the requirements of the underlying statute by other means.
