This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow an existing fence and guardrail to remain and for the proposed installation of pedestrian signs and guardrail located within the north right of way of the North New River Canal associated with a previously permitted linear park located between S. W. 136 Avenue and University Drive; North New River Canal, Sections 2, 3 & 7, Township 50 South, Range 40 & 41 East, Broward County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from subsections 40E-6.011(4) and (6), and paragraph 40E-6.221(2)(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 placement of permanent and/or semi-permanent above-ground facilities within forty feet of the top of the canal bank and within designated equipment staging areas within works or land of the District.
