RE: Height Analysis for the Capital F/N/A SMA Project located in 1430 South Miami
Avenue, Miami, FL
Dear Mr, Torbica:
The Miami -Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) has reviewed your above referenced Large
Scale Development dated August 14, 2007 for a letter of determination and height analysis. Our
review finds that the assumed 633 ft AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) structure at this location
conforms to the Miami -Dade County Height Zoning Ordinance.
The building site is located in the "High Structure Set -Aside District Transitional Surface" of the
amended MIA Height Zoning Ordinance approved by the Miami -Dade County Commission on
July 2007. The maximum height allowable for this location in the High Structure Set -Aside
District Transitional Surface ranges between 900 ft. AMSL and 1,000 ft. AMSL.
However, our preliminary analysis indicates that this structure may impact the following
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) surfaces
• MIA Runway 27 LNAV Final Approach: exceeds by 156.73 .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 reaching or exceeding 200 ft
AlvISL (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'

Furthermore, any construction cranes for this project reaching or exceeding 200 ft AMSL
(Above Mean Sea Level) must be filed by the construction contractor using FAA Form
7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration. Thus, for any structure or crane at this
location reaching or exceeding 200 fl AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level), FAA form 7460-1 must
be filed. The form is available through this office or through the FAA website:
htt s://oeaaa.faa. ov. This form should be mailed to; Federal Aviation Administration, Air.
Traffic Airspace Branch m ASW-520, 2601 .Meacham Blvd, Ft_ Worth, TX 76137-0520.
Alternatively, the developer may "e-file" online at https:/foeaaa.faa.gov ,
Based on the above, MEAD 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 cornpleted 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
Aviation Department or the applicable municipal building official determines whether the
County's 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 Miarni-Dade Aviation Department.
Land Use Review:
Based on the available information, MDAD has determined that the referenced property is
located outside of any land use restrictive zones as defined in the Zoning Ordinance for Miami
International Airport (404-203).
