Grindell, P.E. Director Public Works Department DATE : July 21, 2006 FILE : SUBJECT: Large Scale Development Review - 1492 South Miami Avenue REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: The Public Works Department has reviewed the Large Scale Development plans for the development located at 1492 South Miami Avenue and has the following comments. 1. Platting of the property may be required. Verify with the Public Works Department if the division of platted lot 3 has been recognized by the City of Miami. Public Works strongly recommends an early investigation into the platting requirements for this site. ° 2. 25 foot corner radius dedications are required at the intersections of the base building lines at Broadway and S.W. 14th Terrace with South Miami Avenue. 3. All transitions from the established street profile grade to the building floor elevation must be accomplished on private property. Stairs, ramps, retaining walls, etc. will not be permitted in the public right of way and the record profile street grade can not be changed to accommodate the proposed building ground floor elevation. The City of Miami Capital Improvement and Transportation Office is designing a roadway reconstruction project for South Miami Avenue which includes improving the intersection of Broadway with S. Miami Avenue. Coordinate the proposed access driveways with this City project. 4. City of Miami driveway entrances, in compliance with A.D.A. standards, shall be required. Continuous pedestrian sidewalk is required across the entrance/exit driveways along S. Miami Avenue and at Broadway without requiring pedestrians to enter private property. The loading bay driveway must be at a setback distance of 5 feet from the side property line. 5. The maximum slope for a driveway ramp sloping downward toward the street is 1:10 for the last 20 feet to the property line and the maximum slope for a driveway ramp sloping upward toward the street is 1:20 for the last 20 feet to the property line. All stormwater must be retained on site including the driveways, interior courtyards and plazas on private property adjacent to the public streets. All common areas, plazas and driveways must be graded or trench drains provided to prevent "sheet flow" from entering the right of way. If deep drainage wells are selected for stormwater disposal, they must be located on -site in an open area to accommodate future maintenance access. Ana Gelabert-Sanchez Director Planning Department Page 2 of 3 7/21/2006 6. An agreement between the City of Miami and the property owner is required for any landscaping and decorative sidewalk treatment located in the public right of way. Public Works approval and permit is required for any landscaping improvements in the right of way. 7. Public Works policy requires that no closures of vehicular travel lanes will be permitted during the course of construction unless a temporary replacement lane, approved by the Public Works Department, is constructed and maintained by the Contractor throughout the duration of the lane closure. A maintenance of traffic plan is required for any temporary right of way closure request. 8. In order to mitigate traffic congestion and problems associated with unregulated parking throughout the neighborhood, the Contractor/Developer shall be required to provide approved, designated off -site parking for workers and a shuttle service to the work site. The parking/shuttle plan shall be coordinated with the local City of Miami NET Service Center. 9. Since this project is 1.88 acres in total construction area, the methods of construction must comply with the City of Miami Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Permit (MS4). This project will require a Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Stormwater, Erosion and Sediment permit.

Dear Mr. Lavernia: The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has reviewed your Large Scale Development Submittal dated June 22, 2006 for a height analysis for the above referenced project. Please note that subsequent to this submittal the project Architect submitted new (revised) Elevation of 623 FT AMSL. Our review finds that an assumed 623 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: In the NW corner of the referenced property: • Runway 27L LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 132.8 ft In the SW corner of the referenced property: • Runway 27L LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 125.8 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 AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) 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 AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level), 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 Mr. Roberto Lavernia July 31, 2006 Page 2 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 determinatiohs 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.
