Mr. Watford:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department has reviewed the proposal dated December 27, 2004 for the One
Brickell Plaza structure located at the Northeast comer of SE 5th ST and US1 at 495 Brioke1l Ave. Our
review fields that the referenced structure at 660 ft Above Mean Sea Level 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 seccrids' number).
The proposed building height requires the applicant to file with the FAA form 7460-1, `Notice of
Proposed Constructicxt 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 form. Thus, FAA form 7460.1 must be filed twice, coke for the structure and once for the
construction cranes. The form is available through this office or through the FAA website:
4 - . This form should be nailed 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 et. 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 [Miaini 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 determination 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 1Vliam i 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 aid 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.
