� C The subject property is generally flat and lies at an elevation of approximately 85 feet above sea level. The Southwest Florida Water Management District Potentiometric Surface Map (January 2010) depicts the potentiometric surface of the Floridan Aquifer at approximately 70 feet above sea level. 2.2 Site Inspection and Damage Assessment A site inspection and damage assessment of the Orange Blossom Ranch Association Incorporated property was completed by BCI Geologist, Joel Cornwall, on February 3, 2010. The inspection and assessment consisted of preparing a site map and inventory of visible cracking and settlement distress to interior and exterior portions of the building, with photographic documentation of relevant features. An interview with Mr. Charles Yapple, Association President, and Ms. Betty Walker, the resident of Unit 4622, regarding the type, extent, and history of the damage to the structure was also conducted during the site inspection. Selected photographs of the property are provided in Appendix A. In the interview, Ms. Walker reported noticing separation between the walls and ceiling in Unit 4622 approximately 7 to 8 weeks prior to our inspection. Mr. Yapple reported that approximately 5 to 6 weeks prior to our site inspection he inspected the separation, and also noticed localized cracks in outer edge of the building foundation. Mr. Yapple also reported that two large trees with canopies that extended over the building were removed in the west and northwest yard areas approximately 10 years ago. During our inspection of the property, we observed the reported distress, as well as widespread minor cracking in the exterior walls of Unit 4622., mainly focused at the building corners and window openings. We also observed that the rain gutter downspouts discharge approximately 2 to 3 feet from the foundation. A summary of the damage assessment is provided below, with a photograph log and property conditions and observations plan shown in Appendix A.
