Notice of receipt of an amended petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 20, on May 20, 2011. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow for the installation signage and access control features within the south right of way of C-1 Canal from US1 to SW 244th Street and the north right of way of C-1W Canal from US1 to north of Eureka Drive associated with the Black Creek Trail; Section (multiple), Township 56 South, Range 39 & 40 East, Miami-Dade County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from subsections 40E-6.011(4), (6) and paragraph 40E-6.221(2)(j), Fla. Admin. 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), Fla. Admin. Code, which governs the placement of above-ground permanent and/or semi-permanent encroachments within 40' of the top of the canal bank and within designated 100' long equipment staging areas within works or lands of the District.
