RE: Revised Height Analysis for the Miami River Rapids, Located at the
Southwest corner of NW 27'1' Ave. and the Miami River, in Miami, FL.
Dear Ms Gelabert-Sanchez:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has recently reviewed the above
referenced project in regards to airspace in its capacity as a Large Scale Development
Review committee member, This proposed project consists of nine buildings ranging in
heights from 144 ft to 196 ft,
On our previous correspondence dated October 12, 2005 to the City of Miami, we had
indicated a maximum allowable height of 160 ft. Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL).
However, recent discussions with 'Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) obstruction
evaluation specialists have made us aware of potentially hazardous conditions in an
aircraft engine -out situation if the referenced project were constructed to a height of 160
ft AMSL,
Thus, due to extenuating circumstances and in the interest. of safety, MIDAD has reviewed
its previously issued determination and has revised it to a maximum height for any
structure at the project location to 130 ft AMSL.
Should you have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to
contact me at 305-876-8080.
