The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) is in receipt of your submittal for a land use
zoning/airspace analysis and determination for two buildings located at 1700 Biscayne
Boulevard, Miami., Florida.
Land Use Review:
Based on the available information, MDAD has determined that a residential/hotel building
(Tower 1) and residential building (Tower 2) at the referenced location is compatible with
operations from Miami International Airport.
Airspace Review:
Our review finds that the -maximum height of 607 feet AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) for
Tower 1 and 550 feet AMSL for Tower 2 at this location conforms to the amended Miami
International. Aliport (Wilcox Field) Zoning Ordinance, approved by the Miami:Dade County
Commission on July 2007,
This height determination is an estimate issued on a preliminary or advisory basis: Please note
that as a preliminary height determination it does not constitute approval by MDAD for
construction until coordination and a "No -Hazard" determination :..from-. tle.,.ederal•; A iation

In addition, any construction cranes for this project at this location reaching or exceeding 200
feet AMSL must be filed by the construction contractor using the same form, Thus, for any crane
reaching or exceeding 200 feet AMSL, FAA form 7460-1 must be filed. The form is available
through this office or through the FAA website: https://oeaaa.faa.gov. This form should be
mailed to: Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic Airspace Branch - ASW -520, 2601
Meacham Blvd, Ft. Worth, TX 76137-0520. Alternatively, the applicant may "e -file" online at
https:Hoeaaa.faa.gov. In addition, MDAD's Planning Division must review and -approve the
construction cranes height and locations associated with this construction project. The crane
operator is required to complete a permissible crane height determination form which may be
found on the MDAD webpage at the following location: htt ://www.miami-
irport;com(htxnl(mia lanrb&LrmsjaiLLnAps_.html (select "Permissible Crane Height
Determination Form"), The completed form is to be submitted to MDAD's Planning Division
allowing for 5 days to review and approve the crane(s).
Based on the above, MDAD would not object to a proposed structure height that conforms to the
Miami International Airport (Wilcox Field) Zoning Ordinance as long as:
1) The FAA determines that the construction of a building at the above mentioned
height will not diminish or affect the safety, efficiency or capacity of the Miami
International Airport in any way; and
2) The FAA.issues a "Determination of No Hazard" for this project and location; and
3) An interested party does not file a "petition for review" to the FAA's aeronautical
study that has yet to be completed for this project and location,
Please note that the airspace review process is governed by two different regulations: the Code
of Miami -Dade County Article XXXVII, Miami International Airport (Wilcox Field) Zoning,
and Federal Regulation Title 14 Part 77, The FAA has its own airspace evaluation
requirements, and issues airspace determinations for structures and cranes based on the particular
facts then presented before the FAA. The County's Aviation Department or the applicable
municipal building official determines whether the County's height limitations are met, and FAA
determines whether FAA building, marking and height requirements are met, It is the
responsibility of the Aviation Department to administer and enforce the regulations prescribed in
the Miami International Airport (Wilcox Field) Zoning Ordinance.
Furthermore, please note that upon completion of this project, no Certificate of Use and
Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued by a municipality or Miami -Dade County until approval
is obtained by this office certifying that the structure for this development was built no higher
that the maximum height approved by this letter. The approval shall be issued by this office after
submittal by applicant of the required information as outlined in the Miami
