Subject: The Pointe at Brickell Village
Mr. Walford:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department has reviewed the proposal for the Pointe at Brickell located at SW
11 ST and S. Miami Ave. Our review of the proposal dated October 20, 2004 finds that the referenced
structure at 414 ft Above Ground Level conforms to the Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinances.
However, the proposed building height requires the applicant to file with the FAA form 7460-1, 'Notice of
Proposed Construction Alteration for Determination of Known Hazards'. Similarly, construction cranes for
this project exceeding 200 ft in height will need to be filed by the construction contractor using FAA form
7460-1. Thus, FAA form 7460-1 must be filed twice, once for the structure and once for the construction
cranes. The form is available through this office or through the FAA website:
http://forms,faa,gov/forms/faa7460-1,pdf, This form should be mailed to: Southern Regional Office, Air
Traffic Division, ASO-520, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, GA 30337. The City of Miami has the
responsibility to ascertain that the proposed crane height is not a danger to aviation navigation by
checking that the proposed crane height does not exceed the height stated by the FAA on the
"Determination of No Hazard" for the crane and is properly flagged, lit, and/or otherwise marked
according to FAA standards.
As the permit -issuing agency, you are reminded that no final approval or building permit should be issued
until you (or other appropriate City officials) have in your possession a copy of the FAA "Determination of
No Hazard" for this structure. Your agency must assure that no point of this structure is constructed
higher than the smaller value of either 1.) The FAA 'Determination of No Hazard' height or 2.) A maximum
height as stated by the Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinance. The FAA has its own height
requirements, as well as the right to permit or not permit construction of a facility based on the particular
facts then presented before the FAA.
This determination is based, in part, on the description provided to us by the City of Miami, which includes
specific building locations and heights. Any changes in building locations/layouts or heights will void this
determination. Any future construction or alteration, including an increase to heights requires separate
notice to the FAA and the Miami -Dade Aviation Department.
Should the applicant have any questions in obtaining and/or filling out FAA form 7460-1 or if I can be of
any further assistance, please feel free to contact me at 305-869-3834.
Respectfully,
Daryl Vreeland
