RE: Ocean Palace Development, 850 NW LeJeune Road, Miami
Dear Ms. Gelabert:
This responds to your letter dated January 12, 2004 concerning the above referenced
development. The Miami -Dade County Aviation Department (MDAD) appreciates the
time you have taken to forward us the documents associated with this proposed
development. MDAD has some concerns about the project as it is adjacent to the end of
Runway 12/30 and inside the Outer Safety Zone (OSZ) as depicted in the proposed Land
Use Zoning Ordinance for Miami International Airport (MIA). The OSZ limits residential
units to less than two (2) per acre. This parcel also falls inside the Outer District and No
School Zone. In addition, the number of units is extremely dense for this location.
It should be noted that residential areas that surround our County operated airports are
very noise sensitive. To allow encroachment of a development at this location will
certainly increase the noise problem and work against our efforts to reduce aircraft noise
impacts in residential areas. Based on the available information concerning the proposed
development and taking into consideration the information listed above, MDAD strongly
objects to this application.
