RE: Height Analysis for the 1770 North Bayshore Drive Project located, in Miami, FL
Dear Mr. Walford:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has reviewed your Large Scale Development
Submittal dated April 3, 2006 for a height analysis for the above referenced project. Our review
finds that an assumed 510 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 (TERPS) surfaces:
• Runway 26L LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 260 ft
• Runway 26L LOC Final Approach: exceeds by 235.9 ft
• Runway 26R LOC Final Approach: exceeds by 90.5 ft
• Runway 26R LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 280 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 form is
available through this office or through the FAA website: https://oeaaa.faa.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 developer may "e-file" online at
https://oeaaa.faa.gov .
Based on the above, MDAD would not object to a proposed structure height that conforms 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. 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.
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.
