The ESA was conducted under the supervision or responsible charge of Susan R. Kuzia, Environmental Professional, who performed the site reconnaissance on December 19, 2016. Findings A summary of findings is provided below. It should be recognized that details were not included or fully developed in this section, and the report must be read in its entirety for a comprehensive understanding of the items contained herein. Site Description and Use The site is known as Cannon Point Properties and is located at 5731 - 5831 NW 28th Street, Lauderhill, Broward County, Florida. The site is identified by the Broward County Property Appraiser’s office as Parcel ID #s: 494126070090, 494126070100, 494126070110, 494126070120, 494126070130, and 494126070140. The site consists of six, one-story residential buildings with a total of 22,375 square feet on 1.11-acres of land. The site buildings are currently vacant and condemned. Historical Information The site was undeveloped land since the earliest historical record identified from 1940 through approximately 1972 when the site buildings were constructed. According to the City of Lauderhill representative, Joan Fletcher, the site was utilized as assisted living residential property. The City acquired the site in March 2016. No other businesses, such as dry cleaning, were conducted at the site. The surrounding properties were undeveloped land until the early 1970s, when residential properties were developed to the north, south, east and west of the site. Records Review Based on a review of the environmental database, provided by Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR), no facilities of concern were identified within 500 feet of the site. Site Reconnaissance The site was observed to be developed with six residential buildings with different interior configurations representing apartments and/or common areas for group homes. Many areas within the interiors of the buildings were observed to be damaged and included drywall ceilings Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable i Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Cannon Point Properties ■ Lauderhill, FL December 27, 2016 ■ Terracon Project No. 34167273 and walls, fixtures, and flooring. The damage may have been the result of the training scenarios by various fire departments in the area which utilize the condemned buildings for practice. There were no Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) identified at the site during the site reconnaissance. Adjoining Properties Adjoining properties include apartment buildings and/or vacant, undeveloped lots in all directions from the site. No RECs were identified in association with the adjoining properties.
