In addition, any construction cranes for this project exceeding 100 ft must be filed by the construction contractor using the same form.

Please note that the airspace review 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. Pursuant to section 33-339, the County's Department of Planning & Zoning (P&Z) administers the County's height zoning provisions (Section 33-339) 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." ,u1Aw1r IIJTCDIJATIfNAL AIRPORT • • Mr. Kevin Walford September 13, 2005 Page 2 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 or the applicable municipal building official 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. This determination is based, in part, on the description provided to us by you, 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 you 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 305-876-8080.
