Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We reverse because "the placement of the garbage dumpster was a planning-level decision of the City thereby entitling it to sovereign immunity and, further, no exception was created because the dumpster did not constitute a known danger not readily apparent to potential victims or a hidden trap or danger. The dumpster and its location, and whatever danger they created, were open and obvious. Payne v. Broward Co., 461 So.2d 63 (Fla.1984); City of St. Petersburg v. Collom, 419 So.2d 1082 (Fla.1982); and Department of Transportation v. Neilson, 419 So.2d 1071 (Fla.1982).
Reversed.
HERSEY and WALDEN, JJ" and GREEN, OLIVER L., Jr., Associate Judge, concur.
