FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF 
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, 
Respondent. 
File No. 50-0311160-001 
REQUEST FOR ENLARGEMENT OF TIME 
TO PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING 
Petitioner, LAUREL, INC., pursuant to Rules 62-110.106(4) and 28-106.111, Florida 
Administrative Code, by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby requests the Florida 
Department of Environmental Protection ("FDEP") for an enlargement of time, through and 
including February 4, 2013, to file a Petition for an Administrative Hearing in connection with 
FDEP's Notice of Determination of Exemption (File No. 50-0311160-001) to Virginia Mortara 
("Mortara") for the construction of a dock. In support of its request, LAUREL, INC. sets forth 
the following: 
1. 
On May 2, 2012, FDEP issued a Notice of Determination of Exemption (File No. 
50-0311160-001) to Virginia Mortara for the construction of a dock at 319 El Vedado Way, 
Palm Beach, FL 33480 (the "Subject Property"). (A copy of the Notice of Determination is 
attached hereto as Exhibit A). 
2. 
Petitioner, LAUREL, INC. is the owner of the property immediately adjacent to, 
and north of the Subject Property.

3. 
LAUREL, INC.'s mailing address is: 9100 Havensight, Port of Sale, Ste 15-19, 
St. Thomas, VI 00802. (See attached Palm Beach County Property Appraiser information, 
attached hereto as Exhibit B). 
4. 
The notice of rights of affected parties, including LAUREL, INC., provides that 
any petition for administrative hearing must be timely filed within twenty-one (21) days of 
receipt of written notice. 
5. 
LAUREL, INC. did not receive any notice of the above-referenced agency action, 
nor was notice published in any newspaper of general circulation. 
6. 
From a review of the FDEP Notice of Determination, it appears notice was sent to 
a Laurel, Inc. in care of Jutta Seeberg at 1414 Lake Erie Drive, Lake Worth, FL 33461, an entity 
which has no relationship to Petitioner, LAUREL, INC. (See attached copy of the Notice of 
Determination dated May 2, 2012, page 4 of 4, attached hereto as Exhibit A). 
7. 
On December 14, 2013, LAUREL, INC. received a copy of a Zoning Application 
regarding a request for variance filed by Virginia L. Mortara. This Zoning Application seeks a 
variance from the Town of Palm Beach for construction of a dock, and in support thereof states 
that the, "proposed dock, . . . was approved by the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection . . ." (Zoning Application attached hereto as Exhibit C). 
8. 
Upon receipt of this Zoning Application on December 14, 2012, LAUREL, INC. 
discovered that on May 2, 2012, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection had issued 
a Notice of Determination of Exemption (File No. 50-0311160-001) to Virginia Mortara for the 
construction of a dock. (See Notice of Determination attached hereto as Exhibit A).

Request for Enlargement of Time to Petition for Administrative Hearing 
Page 3 of 4 
9. 
Therefore, LAUREL, INC. received notice of FDEP's Notice of Determination on 
or around December 14, 2012, and accordingly, any Petition challenging issuance of the Notice 
must be filed with FDEP on or before January 4, 2013. 
10. 
On December 27, 2012, the undersigned firm was retained to represent LAUREL, 
INC., in regards to the dock permit. 
11. 
An initial review of the FDEP Notice of Determination indicates the dock may 
adversely affect the adjacent property owner, LAUREL, INC., and requires further review and 
analysis. 
12. 
Therefore, Counsel for LAUREL, INC. respectfully requests an additional thirty 
(30) days up to and including February 3, 2013, in order to allow for sufficient time to review the 
Notice of Determination, any relevant FDEP files, any relevant Army Corps of Engineers files, 
and to retain an engineer or other consultant to complete an analysis of the possible adverse 
impacts on LAUREL, INC. 
13. 
LAUREL, INC. is requesting this enlargement of time to file a Petition for an 
Administrative Hearing in order to protect its rights to request an administrative hearing should it 
be necessary after fully reviewing the permitting file. 
14. 
In accordance with Rules 28-106.111, Florida Administrative Code, counsel for 
LAUREL, INC. has contacted FDEP's Office of Counsel by telephone and been advised FDEP 
does not generally take any preliminary position on a Request for Enlargement of Time. 
15. 
In accordance with Rule 28-106.111, Florida Administrative Code, counsel for 
LAUREL, INC. has attempted to contact Permittee, Mortara, and has been unable to determine if 
Permittee would oppose this request.

Dear Ms. Mortara: 
Rick Scott 
Governor 
Jennifer Carroll 
Lt. Governor 
Herschel T. Vinyard Jr. 
Secretary 
On April 5, 2012, we received your application for an exemption to install a 6-foot by 30-foot (180 ft2) 
marginal dock The project is located in the Lake Worth Lagoon, Class tll Waters, adjacent to 319 El 
Vedado Road, Palm Beach (Section 27, Township 43 South, Range 43 East), in Palm Beach County (26° 41' 
3535" North Latitude, 80° 2' 20.54" West longitude). 
Your application has been reviewed to determine whether it qualifies for any of three kinds of 
authorization that may be necessary for work in wetlands or waters of the United States. The kinds of 
authorization are (1) regulatory authorization, (2) proprietary authorization (related to state-owned 
submerged lands), and (3) federal authorization. The authority for review and the outcomes of the 
reviews are listed below. Please read each section carefully. Your project may not have qualified for all 
three forms of authorization. If your project did not qualify for one or more of the authorizations, refer to 
the specific section dealing with that authorization for advice on how to obtain it. 
1. Regulatory Review. - VERIFIED 
The Department has the authority to review your project under Part IV of Chapter 373, Florida Statutes 
(PS.), Title 62, Florida Administrative Code (PA.C.), and in accordance with operating agreements 
executed between the Department and the water management districts, as referenced in Chapter 62-113, 
F.A.C. 
Based on the information you submitted, we have determined that your project to install a 6-foot by 30-
foot (180 fir) marginal dock is exempt from the need to obtain a DEP Environmental Resource Permit 
under Rule 40E-4.051(3)(b), P.A.C. 
2. Proprietary Review. - GRANTED 
The Department acts as staff to the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (Board of 
Trustees) and issues certain authorizations for the use of sovereignty submerged lands. The Department 
has the authority to review your project under Chapters 253 and 258, F.S., 18-18 and 18-21, F.A.C., and 
Section 62-343.075, F.A.C. 
Your project will occur on sovereignty submerged land and will require authorization from the Board of 
Trustees to use public property. As staff to the Board of Trustees, we have reviewed the proposed project 
and have determined that, as long as it is located within the described boundaries and is consistent.with 
the attached general consent conditions, the project qualifies for a consent by rule to use sovereignty 
submerged lands. Therefore, pursuant to Chapter 253.77, Florida Statutes, you may consider this letter as 
authorization from the Board of Trustees to perform the project

Page 2 of 4 
3. Federal Review (SPGP). - NOT GRANTED 
Federal authorization for the proposed project is reviewed by DEP pursuant to an agreement between the 
Department and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer (Corps). The agreement is outlined in a document 
titled Coordination Agreement Between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Florida Department of 
Environmental Protection State Programmatic General Permit, Section 10 of the Riven and Harbor Act of 1899 
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. 
Your project has been reviewed for compliance with a State Programmatic General Permit (SPGP). As 
shown on the attached drawings, the proposed project is eig consistent with the SIC? program. A copy 
of your application has been sent to the Corps who may require a separate permit. Failure to obtain their 
authorization prior to construction could subject you to enforcement action. For further information, 
contact the Corps directly at 561.4711590. 
This exemption verification is based on the information you provided the Department and the statutes 
and rules in effect when the information was submitted. This verification will expire after one year, and 
will not be valid at any other time if site conditions materially change, the project design is modified, or 
the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity are amended. However, the activity may still be 
conducted without further notification to or verification from the Department after the one-year 
expiration of this verification, provided: 1) the project design does not change; 2) site conditions do not 
materially change; and 3) there are no changes to the statutes or rules governing the exempt activity. In 
the event you need to re-verify the exempt status for the activity after the one-year expiration of this 
verification, a new application and verification fee will be required. Any substantial modification to the 
project design should be submitted to the Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being 
required. Conditions of compliance with the regulatory exemption are contained in Attachment A. 
This letter does not relieve you from the responsibility of obtaining other permits (federal, state, or local) 
that may be required for the project. 
NOTICE OF RIGHTS OF SUBSTANTIALLY AFFECTED PERSONS 
This letter acknowledges that the proposed activity is exempt from ERP permitting requirements under 
Rule 40E4.051(3)(b), F.AC. This determination is final and effective on the date filed with the Clerk of 
the Department unless a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is timely filed under sections 
120.569 and 120.57 of the Florida Statutes as provided below. If a sufficient petition for an administrative 
hearing is timely filed, this determination automatically becomes only proposed agency action subject to 
the result of the administrative review process. Therefore, on the filing of a timely and sufficient petition, 
this action will not be final and effective until further order of the Department The procedures for 
petitioning for a hearing are set forth in the attached notice. 
This determination is based on the information you provided the Department and the statutes and rules 
in effect when the application was submitted and is effective only for the specific activity proposed. This 
determination shall automatically expire If site conditions materially change or the governing statutes or 
rules are amended. In addition, any substantial modifications in your plans should be submitted to the 
Department for review, as changes may result in a permit being required. 
In any event this 
determination shall expire after one year. 
Be advised that your neighbors and other parties who may be substantially affected by the proposed 
activity allowed under this determination of exemption have a right to request an administrative hearing 
EFTA01116658

FDEP File No.: 50-0311160-001 
Page 3 of 4 
on the Department's decision that the proposed activity qualifies for this exemption. Because the 
administrative hearing process is designed to redetermine final agency action on the application, the 
filing of a petition for an administrative hearing may result in a final determination that the proposed 
activity is not authorized under the exemption established under Rule 40E-4.051(3)(b), F.A.C. 
The Department will not publish notice of this determination. Publication of this notice by you is optional 
and is not required for you to proceed. However, in the event that an administrative hearing is held and 
the Department's determination is reversed, proceeding with the proposed activity before the time period 
for requesting an administrative hearing has expired would mean that the activity was conducted 
without the required permit 
If you wish to limit the time within which all substantially affected persons may request an 
administrative hearing, you may elect to publish, at your own expense, the enclosed notice (Attachment 
A) in the legal advertisement section of a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the 
activity is to take place. A single publication will suffice. 
If you wish to limit the lime within which any specific person(s) may request an administrative hearing, 
you may provide such person(s), by certified mail, a copy of this determination, including Attachment A. 
For the purposes of publication, a newspaper of general circulation means a newspaper meeting the 
requirements of sections 50.011 and 50.031 of the Florida Statutes. In the event you do publish this notice, 
within seven days of publication, you must provide to the following address proof of publication issued 
by the newspaper as provided in section 50.051 of the Florida Statutes. If you provide direct written 
notice to any person as noted above, you must provide to the following address a copy of the direct 
mitten notice.
