BOX 592075 MIAMI, FLORIDA 33159-2075 (305) 876-7000 RE: Height Analysis for the Marquis West Project Located on the Northeast Corner of NE 1st Ave and NE 11 ST, in Niianii, EL Dear Mr. Walford: The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has reviewed your Large Scale Development Submittal dated September 7, 2005 for a height analysis for the above referenced project. Our review finds that an assumed 425 ft AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) structure at this location conforms to the Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinance. However, our preliminary analysis indicates that this structure may impact the following Terminal Instrument Procedures (TEMPS) surfaces: ▪ Runway 26L LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 123 ft e Runway 26R LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 1 1 1.8 ft Runway 27 LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 155 ft The FAA will need to determine the effect of those impacts (if any) upon the developer's submittal of form 7460-1 to the FAA. 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 forrn is avaiiable through this office or through the FAA wehsite: http:/forms.+aa.gov/formsifaa7460-1.pdf. This form should be mailed to Federal Aviation Administration., Air Traffic Airspace Branch - AS Y ;-52,0, 2501 Meacham Blvd: Ft.

This may result in reduced building heights. 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 [Miarni-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 Miarni-Dade Aviation Department.
