Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Sep. 12, 2005
The issue is whether the District should approve Environmental Resource Permit No. 43024788.002 for the construction of a surface water management system to serve the proposed residential subdivision on Westfield’s property in southern Pasco County, and based upon the prior litigation between the parties in DOAH Case No. 04-0003 and the pre-hearing rulings in this case, the issue turns on whether Westfield has provided “reasonable assurances” in relation to the proposed development's potential impacts on Wetland A3 and fish and wildlife.The proposed surface water management system meets Environmental Resource Permit requirements and will not adversely impact Petitioner`s wetland. Deficiencies in prior litigation between the parties have been addressed. Recommend issuance of permit.
