PERMITTEE
Stewart A. Satter
c/o Dallas H. Durrance, P.E.
FINAL ORDER
FINDINGS OF FACT: An application for authorization to conduct the activities seaward of the
coastal construction control line’ that are indicated in the project description, was filed by the
applicant/permittee named herein on October 11, 2006, and was determined to be complete
pursuant to rule on January 12, 2007. However, on April 10, 2007, the applicant waived the 90-
day time limit imposed on the Department for processing completed applications pursuant to
Chaptet 120, Florida Statutes, until May 12, 2007. The proposed project is to be. located
landward of the 30-year erosion projection and the existing line of construction established by
major structures in the immediate area.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: After considering the merits of the’ proposal and any written
" objections from affected persons, the Department finds that upon compliance with the permit
conditions, the activities indicated in the project description of this amended permit are of such a
nature that they will result in’no significant adverse impacts to the beach/dune’ areas or to
adjacent properties; that the work is not expected to adversely impact nesting sea turtles, their
hatchlings, or their habitat; that the work is expendable in nature and/or is appropriately designed
in accordance with Section 62B-33.005, Florida Administrative Code; and that it is an activity of
type of construction which the Chief of the Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems has authority
to approve or deny pursuant to Delegation of Authority, DEP Directive 100, effective September
27, 2002. The direct and cumulative impacts to the beach and dune system that will be caused by
the seaward location of the proposed construction represent the maximum. such impacts that is
acceptable to the Department. Therefore, future construction on the site seaward of the coastal
construction control line shall not extend further seaward, than the proposed structures ‘approved
pursuanit to this permit. Based on the foregoing considerations, the Bureau Chief approves the
application; authorizes construction and/or activities at the location indicated below in strict
accordance with the project description, the approved plans (if any) and the General’ Permit
Conditions which are attached and are by this reference incorporated herein, and any additional
'_ conditions shown below, pursuant to Section 161.053(5), Florida Statutes,
