NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on December 09, 2010, the South Florida Water Management District (District) Governing Board has issued an order.
SFWMD Order No.: 2010-209-DAO-ROW was issued to Francisco Herdocia (Application No.: 10-0913-1M). The petition for waiver was received by the District on October 26, 2010. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 36, No. 45, on November 12, 2010. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District's criteria to allow an existing hedge and a portion of a playhouse that is within 40 feet from top of bank within the C-100C west right of way to remain; Section 17, Township 55 South, Range 40 East, Miami-Dade 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 prohibits 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 is based upon principles of fairness.
