Public Notice of Intent To Release Grant Acquired Property at the 
Opa-Locka Airport, Miami-Dade County, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration is requesting public 
comment on the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) request to release 
a portion of airport property, 4,314 square feet, for other 
than aeronautical purposes.

The Property Location

    South of Tract 13 along the northern boundary of Opa-Locka Airport 
across the Biscayne Drainage Canal that parallel Runway 9L/27R. It is 
more specifically located on the west side of NW 4th Court 
approximately 350 feet south of NW 157th Street and 170 feet north of 
theoretical NW 155 Terrace.
    The Property is part of Parcel 4 and is currently vacant. It was 
acquired by the MDAD with Federal participation under Federal aid 
projects (FAAP 9-08-054-D2014-D603) to satisfy airport development and 
runway protection requirements for current Runway 9L/27R.
    The property will be disposed of for the purpose of selling it to 
the adjacent property owner who desires to increase his residential lot 
size.
    The fair market value of the property has been determined by 
appraisal to be $17,000,00. The airport will receive fair market value 
for the property, and will subsequently reinvest it in an eligible 
airport improvement project at the Opa-Locka Airport and/or returned to 
the Trust fund.

appointment only, for inspection of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department 
(MDAD), Office of the Manager for Development and at the Orlando FAA
