located by NE 15t1 St and N. Bayshore Drive, in Miami, FL
Dear Mr. Watford:

The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (M.DAD) has reviewed your Large Scale Development
Submittal dated April 6, 2006 for a height analysis for the above referenced project. Our review
finds that an assumed 120 ft 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. It is not
necessary to file with the FAA for the structure height as stated above by using form 7460-1
'Notice of Proposed Construction Alteration for DeterMination of Known Hazards'. However,
any construction cranes for this project exceeding PO ft must be filed by the construction
contractor using the same form. The form is available through this office or through the FAA
website: https://oeaaafaa.gov. This form should be mailed to: Federal Aviation Administration,
Air Traffic Airspace Branch - ASW-520, 2601 Meacham Blvd, Ft. Worth, TX 76137-0520.
Alternatively, the applicant may "e-file" online at https://oeaaa.fakgov
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. The
FAA has its own airspace evaluation requirements, ,and issues airspace determinations for
structures and cranes based on the particular facts then presented before the FAA. The County's
Department of Planning and Zoning (P&Z) or the applicable municipal building official
determines whether the County's zoning requirements and height limitations are met,
and FAA determines whether FAA building, marking 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.
