Dear Mr. Walford:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has reviewed your Large Scale Development
Submittal dated August 29, 2005 for a height analysis for the above referenced project. Our
review finds that a 260 ft (assumed) AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) structure at this location
conforms to the Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinance.
This height determination is an estimate issued on a preliminary or advisory basis.
Before proceeding with design, any proposed construction at this location exceeding 200 ft will
be required to file with the FAA by using'form 7460-1 `Notice of Proposed Construction
Alteration for Determination of Known Hazards'. In addition, any construction cranes for this
project exceeding 200 ft must be filed by the construction contractor using the same form. Thus,
for any structure or crane at this location exceeding 200 ft, FAA form 7460-1 must be filed. The
form is available through this office or through the FAA website:
http:/Ifornns.faa.gov/forms/faa7460-1.pdf. This form should be mailed to: Federal Aviation
Administration, Air Traffic Airspace Branch - ASW-520, 2601 Meacham Blvd, Ft. Worth, TX
76137-0520.
Based on the above, MDAD would not object to a proposed structure height conforming to the
Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinance as long as:
1) FAA determines that the construction of building at the above mentioned height will
not diminish or affect the safety, efficiency or capacity of the Miami International Airport
in any way; and
2) FAA issues a "Determination of No Hazard" for this project and location; and
3) An interested party does not file a "petition for review" to FAA's aeronautical study
that has yet to be completed for this project and location.

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 MD, -VD 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." 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.
