RE: Determination Number DN -08-11-087 Land Use Zoning and Airspace Analysis for
Civica Tower at the Health District (Large Scale Application) Located at 1050 NW
10' Street, Miami, FL (Folio Number 01-3135-055-0020)
Dear Mr. Lavernia:
Please be advised that the Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has previously reviewed
the above -referenced project and issued a letter of determination on April 18, 2007.
Since the Miami International Airport (Wilcox Field) Zoning Ordinance was amended and
approved by the Miami -Dade County Commission in July 2007, this letter supersedes our
previous letter of determination dated April 18, 2007.
Land Use Review:
Based on the available information, MDAD has determined that the proposed land use is
compatible with operations from Miami International Airport.
Airspace Review:
Our review finds that the maximum height of 310 feet AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) at this
location conforms to the amended Miami Inter -national Ai�por•t (Wilcox Field) Zoning
Ordinance, approved by the MiannDcade Couno) Commission on July 2 00 7.
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 the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) is obtained. Please note, any proposed construction at this location
reaching or exceeding 200 feet AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) is required.to be filed with the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) using Form 7460-1 `Notice of Proposed Construction
Alteration for Determination of Known Hazards'. 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. r ; -4 , r «

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://oeaaa.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: http://www.miami-
airport.com/html/mia—Planning_forms_and_maps,html and selecting "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
