Cc: Jose A Ramos; Manuel A. Rodriguez
Subject: 1650 Biscayne Blvd
Mr. Walford:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department has reviewed the proposal dated March 8, 2005 for the
1650 Biscayne Blvd. structure located at 1650 Biscayne Blvd. Our review finds that the
referenced structure at 600 ft Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL) conforms to the Miami -Dade
County Height Zoning Ordinance.
This height determination is an estimate issued on a preliminary or advisory basis. For a more
accurate determination, you may re -submit this information to us by providing latitude and
longitude coordinates of the footprint of the proposed structure in "degrees, minutes, seconds"
format using a NAD83 projection with an accuracy of three decimal places (for the `seconds'
nurnber).
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', in addition,
construction cranes for this project exceeding 200 ft in height must be filed by the construction
contractor using the same foul'. 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.
Please note that the airspace review and approval process is governed by two different
regulations: the Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinances and Federal Regulation Title 14
Part 77. Neither MDAD nor any MDAD staff has the power or authority to enforce the County's
zoning provisions or the FAA requirements. The County's Department of Planning & Zoning
(P&Z) enforces the County's height zoning provisions (Section 33-340) which states that "all
applications for permits made to appropriate municipal Building and Zoning Departments or
agencies for all construction...shall be approved by the [Miami -Dade Department of Planning
and Zoning] Director and the Building Official or by their duly authorized representatives prior
to issuance of the permit." The FAA has its own airspace evaluation requirements, as well as the
right to permit or not permit construction of a facility or use of a crane based on the particular
facts then presented before the FAA. Only P&Z can make the final deterrnination as to whether
the County's zoning requirements and height limitations are met, and only FAA can make the
determination as to whether FAA building and height requirements are met.

As the permit -issuing agency, you are reminded that no final approval or building permit should
be issued until the City of Miami has in its 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 lower (more restrictive) 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.
Similarly, the City of Miami has the responsibility to ascertain that the proposed crane height is
not a danger to aviation navigation by confirming that the proposed crane height does not exceed
the height stated by the FAA on the "Determination of No Hazard" for the crane and that the
crane is properly flagged, lighted, and otherwise marked according to FAA standards.
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

ITEM #3. New Construction would be a structure that has not yet been built.
Alteration is a change to an existing structure such as the addition of a side mounted antenna, a change to the marking and lighting, a
change to power and/or frequency, or a change to the height. The nature of the alteration shall be included in ITEM #21 "Complete
Description of Proposal".
Existing would be a correction to the latitude and/or longitude, a correction to the height, or if filing on an existing structure which has never
been studied by the FM. The reason for the notice shall be included in ITEM #21 "Complete Description of Proposal".
ITEM #4. If Permanent, so indicate. if Temporary, such as a crane or drilling derrick, enter the estimated length of time the temporary
structure will be up.
ITEM #5. Enter the date that construction is expected to start and the date that construction should be completed.
ITEM #6. Please indicate the type of structure. DO NOT LEAVE BLANK.
ITEM #7. In the event that obstruction marking and lighting is required, please indicate type desired. If no preference, check 'other" and
indicate "no preference" DO NOT LEAVE BLANK. NOTE: High intensity lighting shall be used only for structures over 500' AGL. In the
absence of high intensity lighting for structures over 500' AGL, marking is also required.

ITEM #9 and #10. Latitude and longitude must be geographic coordinates, accurate to within the nearest second or to the nearest
hundredth of a second if known. Latitude and longitude derived solely from a hand-held GPS instrument is NOT acceptable. A
hand-held GPS is only accurate to within 100 meters (328 feet) 95 percent of the time. This data, when plotted, should match the site
depiction submitted under ITEM #20.
ITEM #11. • NAD 83 is preferred; however, latitude and longitude may be submitted in NAD 27. Also, in some geographic areas where NAD
27 and NAD 83 are not available other datums may be used. It is important to know which datum is used. DO NOT LEAVE BLANK.

ITEM #14. Enter the distance from the airport or heliport listed in #13 to the structure.
ITEM #15. Enter the direction from the airport or heliport listed in #13 to the structure.
ITEM #16. Enter the site elevation above mean sea level and expressed in whole feet rounded to the nearest foot (e.g. 17'3" rounds to 17',
17'6" rounds to 18'). This data should match the ground contour elevations for site depiction submitted under ITEM #20.
ITEM *17. Enter the total structure height above ground level in whole feet rounded to the next highest foot (e.g. 17'3" rounds to 18').
The total structure height shall include anything mounted on top of the structure, such as antennas, obstruction lights, lightning
rods, etc.
ITEM #18. Enter the overall height above mean sea level and expressed in whole feet. This will be the total of ITEM #16 + ITEM #17.
ITEM #19. if an FAA aeronautical study was previously conducted, enter the previous study number.
ITEM #20. Enter the relationship of the structure to roads, airports, prominent terrain, existing structures, etc. Attach an 8-1/2" x 11"
non -reduced copy of the appropriate 7.5 minute U.S. Geological Survey (USCG) quadrangle Map MARKED WiTH A PRECISE INDICATION
OF THE SITE LOCATION. To obtain maps, contact USGC at 1-800-435-7627 or via intemet at "http:ifmappinq.usas gov". If available,
attach a copy of a documented site survey with the surveyor's certification stating the amount of vertical and horizontal accuracy in feet.
ITEM #21.

Filing this information with the FAA does not relieve the sponsor of this construction or alteration from complying with any other
federal, state or local rules or regulations. If you are not sure what other rules or regulations apply to your proposal, contact
local/state aviations and zoning authorities.
Paperwork Reduction Work Act Statement: This information is collected to evaluate the effect of proposed construction or
alteration on air navigation and is not confidential. Providing this information is mandatory for anyone proposing construction or alteration
that meets or exceeds the criteria contained in 14 CFR, part 77. We estimate that the burden of this collection is an average 19 minutes
per response. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unte55 it
displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection is 2120-0001.
