NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 15, 2010, the South Florida Water Management District (District) Governing Board has issued an order.
SFWMD Order No.: 2010-141-DAO-ROW was issued to Collier county Board of Commissioners (Application No.: 10-0104-1). The petition for waiver was received by the SFWMD on April 8, 2010.

This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow for the proposed construction of a pile-supported vehicular bridge crossing the Golden Gate Main Canal, 23rd Street Southwest; Section 7, Township 49 South, Range 27 East, Collier County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from paragraphs 40E-6.221(2)(a) and (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 low member elevation of pile-supported facilities within works of 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 Petitioner from a suffering a substantial hardship.
