40E-6.011: Policy and Purpose
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on August 12, 2010, the South Florida Water Management District (District) Governing Board has issued an order.
SFWMD Order No.: 2010-152-DAO-ROW was issued to the Town of Davie (Application No.: 08-0918-1M). The petition for waiver was received by the District on June 15, 2010. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 36, No. 25, on June 25, 2010. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow for the proposed addition of greenway trail landscaping and trail signage within the north right of way of the C-11 Canal; Sections 28, 29, 30 & 25, Township 50 South, Range 41 & 42 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 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 and would violate principles of fairness.
