October 19, 2012109 So. 3d 154

Summary

The court affirmed the trial court’s approval of the Spottswoods’ pier permits, holding that the agency reasonably treated its rule protecting common-law riparian rights as authorizing an exception to the normal 10-foot setback requirement. The court also affirmed denial of the Spottswoods’ postjudgment motion because it sought to relitigate riparian boundaries already decided and affirmed on appeal. No separate opinions were filed.
