Narrative:

I tried to coordinate with ZMA to make room between their inbounds for a special VFR departure. They advised of 2 aircraft inbound on the VOR/DME runway 29L approach and that they'd allow room after the first one for my SVFR departure. All necessary coordination was completed. After the first one landed, miami called and asked the status of my SVFR departure because they had the next inbound established on final 7 mi southeast. I volunteered to hold the SVFR departure, which they declined. A discussion ensued, and they insisted it was okay to depart the SVFR PA44, which I did. As the SVFR lifted off, the inbound PA44 checked in on my frequency at '7.2 DME' which put him 2.2 mi from the approach end of the runway. I verified his position and observed that he was, indeed, on a 2 mi final, and that the departing PA44 had not yet crossed the departure end of the runway. I don't know what kind of separation ZMA thinks they were applying here, and I don't know how to get local management to take note of these kinds of occurrences. If I had a BRITE scope I could act as a safety net, a second set of eyes. As it stands now, it's a miracle that we haven't had a midair here yet. And I'm getting tired of filling out one (or more) of these forms every sunday.
