Solvitz Road project continued 180 days while owners pursue South Florida Water Management District approvals
Summary
Owners of the Solvitz Road parcel told the special magistrate they have submitted environmental resource permit materials to the South Florida Water Management District; the magistrate granted a 180‑day continuance to allow agency reviews and mitigation‑bank coordination.
Owners and their consultants told the special magistrate on March 12 that they have submitted an environmental resource permit (ERP) application and related construction documents to the South Florida Water Management District and to local review authorities for a stormwater and wetlands plan on the Solvitz Road parcel.
The owner’s representative said consultants prepared pages of maps, engineering designs and the ERP materials and that the North Fork district acknowledged receipt of proposed discharge materials for canal discharge review. Staff recommended a 180‑day continuance because the project is contingent on multiple outside agencies' reviews and a meeting with a mitigation bank.
Special Magistrate Jamie Barrow granted the 180‑day continuance to allow the applicants and their engineers to complete agency reviews and to coordinate required mitigation and permit applications. Barrow told the owners and staff he was hopeful the parties would resolve outstanding matters within the continuance period and ordered the extension on the record.
What happens next: owners and their engineers will await agency comments from the South Florida Water Management District and the North Fork reviewer; the Building/Planning Department will continue to process any City development permit materials and will return the matter to the magistrate if further hearings are needed.
