INTRODUCTION
B1 Introduction
The property is located at …………….., Co. Kildare. It consists of a large detached country residence with
associated stables and a one bedroom apartment on approximately six acres of land.
Project Name: Ocean to Lake – Dyer C18 LLC Properties County: Palm Beach Applicant: Palm Beach
County Department of Environmental Resources Management Proposed Manager: Palm Beach County
Department of Environmental Resources Management Project Description: The Dyer C18 LLC Properties
contain an estimated 43.03 acres and is approximately 1.77 miles long, and 220 feet wide. Site is a
drainage right-of-way composed of a canal and a gravel maintenance road. Mostly grass with some slash
pine and waxed myrtles at the edge of the right-of-way. If acquired, the County will construct a multi-
use trail, and adjacent equestrian trail, which will serve as a segment of the Ocean to Lake Trail Corridor.
The project will also provide access to a hard-to-reach portion of the Hungryland Slough Natural Area. 1.
FGTS Status: The Ocean to Lake Corridor is part of the Priority Trail Network, and was formally
designated as part of the Florida Greenways and Trails System in 2006. 2. Matching Funds Available:
50% matching funds by the County. 3. Less Than Fee Proposed: Fee Simple 4. Ecological Values: See the
attached Biologist Field Inspection Report. 5. Recreational Attributes: The project Area will offer a range
of nature-based outdoor recreational opportunities, including hiking, biking, trail riding (equestrian),
wildlife viewing, bird watching, nature appreciation, fishing (from the canal bank) and nature
photography. In addition, the County will investigate the feasibility of creating a canoe/kayak trail that
would connect the Project Area canal to a water resource project that is planned for a 1,800+acre
property (identified as Mecca on Exhibit 1) located just southwest of the Project Area. The Ocean to
Lake Corridor is part the Northeast Everglades Natural Area (NENA) project which aims to connect
approximately 165,000 acres of conservation lands in northern Palm Beach County and southern Martin
County. It is a cooperative effort among partnering land managers and educational centers to link 35
conservation lands, parks and activity/education centers through a system of designated trails and
thematic elements. The Ocean to Lake Corridor is approximately 60 miles and includes portions of
Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Riverbend Park, Loxahatchee Slough Natural Area, Hungryland Slough
Natural Area, J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area, DuPuis WMA and the County’s Lake Okeechobee
Scenic Trail (LOST) trailhead. It also includes existing road
B2 Scope of Survey
As stated previously this survey was conducted to record the visual current condition of the property on
the day of inspection. Our Client requested us to conduct this survey as a pre-purchase survey in order
to report on the general condition of the property. As the property is a second hand property the
survey will take into consideration the age of the property when commenting on the standard of
paintwork and decorative finishes.
B3 Survey Procedures
Our inspection of the property was a visual inspection only to those areas accessible to ourselves. These
areas are namely as follows:
External roof inspection and site details were carried out from ground level only.
Attic space from access to main attic only access was restricted to the small attic in the dressing room
beside the master bedroom.
In order to limit any delay to site and to get the most out of your survey company follow
these four guidelines to create the perfect project brief:
EXTERIOR SURVEY
6. If NJDEP is the owner of the parcel in question at the time of completion of the survey, provide deed
information for that acquisition as well as name and deed information for the former owner. If NJDEP is
the owner of the parcel in question at the time of completion of the survey but the deed has not yet
been recorded, so state in a note on the plan and provide
name and deed information for the former owner. The former owner is hereafter referred to as “N/F
owner.” 7. Adjoining parcels under common ownership (by the N/F owner) can be surveyed,
monuments placed, and describ
Final plans shall include a factual note stating either: "Property is unimproved"; or "Property contains
(name specific features such as dwelling, structures, etc.) but have been shown only in general location
per contract with NJDEP Green Acres Program, as all buildings, structures and improvements are to be
demolished post acquisition by NJDEP."
Only property boundary surveys are required. No vertical data is required for this contract. 2. Corner
markers are to be set upon completion of demolition of all structures on the property. 3. The location of
corner markers to be set will be determined by the Project Manager based upon the configuration of
parcels whose owners opted to participate in the Blue Acres program. Individual parcel surveys are to
show only any corner markers found.
carry out a preconstruction survey to establish the condition of existing buildings and structures
adjacent or in otherwise close proximity to the building works.
In recent years, feedbacks on damage arising from project developments received by BCA showed that
some cases extend beyond the zone of preconstruction survey adopted by builders.
REF. NO. 13-A1 SURVEY AT: ……………… FOR: ……..… DATED: ……………………
Waste Pipes Access to the waste pipes is limited. The raised deck patio is blocking access to the
discharge from the kitchen and all of the remaining waste water seems to be discharging by means of
either back inlet gulley traps or through sealed sewer systems. Furthermore there is a major problem
with the sewer pipes and general arrangement of the AJ covers. There is blockage in the sewer pipes at
the side of the property and the AJ covers are not properly sealed the pipe system. Again this needs to
be urgently addressed.
Gulley Traps Gulley traps are not situated to meet downpipes, see comments relating to the gutters
above. Gulley traps are NOT sealed to concrete path and water can escape down both the back and
sides of gulley traps. There is a need to provide a concrete path around the property and have all the
gulley traps and AJ’s sealed to the path. This work should be carried out as part of the overall
improvement of the drainage system.
Overflow Pipes Overflows can be readily seen. Pipes are not too short at low level. Making good is
complete around pipes.
Windows and Doors Window frames are free from chips and splits. Cills and drip moulds are
undamaged. Doors are undamaged. Glazing method is correct. Glass is not cracked or scratched. Glass
is reasonably clean and free from paint splashes.
General The overall exterior of the property would benefit from a coat of a proprietary external masonry
paint. There are also extensive amounts of ivy on the property and while this may have aesthetic
qualities it generally does nothing for the overall structure of the property. Consideration should be
given to its removal.
Title of the visit School evaluation as the path towards its development
Dear participants,
The purpose of a study visit is to generate an exchange of experience and good practice between the
country you visit and the countries you all come from. Thus, participating in a study visit can be an
exciting experience and an important learning tool for you. During the visit you are invited to prepare a
group report summarising your discussions and learning. This will help Cedefop disseminate what you
have learnt to others, who share your interest but did not participate in this particular study visit. On
the first day of the visit, you are to select a reporter who will be responsible for preparing the final
report and submitting it to Cedefop. Everybody should contribute to the report by sharing their views,
knowledge, and practices in their respective countries. Please start working on the report from the first
day of the visit. You will, of course, be taking your own notes during presentations and field visits; but
the group report should highlight the result of the group’s reflections on what was seen and learnt
during the entire visit and the different perspectives brought by the different countries and participants.
The report should NOT read as a travel diary, describing every day and every session or visit. Cedefop
will publish extracts of your reports on its website and make them available to experts in education and
vocational training. When writing the report, please keep this readership in mind: make your report
clear, interesting, and detailed enough to be useful to colleagues throughout Europe. By attaching any
photos to the report, you agree to Cedefop’s right to use them in its publications on study visits and on
its website. Please prepare the report in the working language of the group. Please do not include the
programme or list of participants.
