A value of the parcel was estimated using only one of the three traditional approaches to value, the sales comparison approach. Each is based on the principal of substitution that an informed purchaser would pay no more for the rights in acquiring a particular real property than the cost of acquiring, without undue delay, an equally desirable one. Three properties were selected for comparison, each with similar site characteristics, utility availability, zoning classification and road access. No inspection was made of the property and the Real Estate Services Department staff relied upon information solely provided by Program staff. The valuation conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and conditions that no other known or unknown adverse conditions exist. Pursuant to the Conservation Collier Purchase Policy one appraisal will be required.

The market research indicates, there is a value difference between the various lot sizes in this market area. 1.14ac to 3.5ac parcels will have a higher per acre value and the parcels sizes greater than 3.5ac will have a slightly lower per acre value. The sales data for 1.14ac to 3.5ac parcels is estimated to be $13,000 per acre. The sales data for 3.5ac to 7.05ac parcels is estimated to be $11,800 per acre. * Property Appraiser’s Website ** Collier County Real Estate Services Department 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 417 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 10 Zoning, Growth Management and Conservation Overlays Zoning, growth management and conservation overlays will affect the value of a parcel. The parcels are zoned Estates. Land Development Code section 2.03.01.B. describes the Estate District (E): The purpose and intent of the estates district (E) is to provide lands for low density residential development in a semi-rural to rural environment, with limited agricultural activities. In addition to low density residential development with limited agricultural activities, the E district is also designed to accommodate as conditional uses, development that provides services for and is compatible with the low density residential, semi-rural and rural character of the E district. The E district corresponds to and implements the estates land use designation on the future land use map of the Collier County GMP, although, in limited instances, it may occur outside of the estates land use designation. The maximum density permissible in the E district shall be consistent with and not exceed the density permissible or permitted under the estates district of the future land use element of the Collier County GMP as provided under the Golden Gate Master Plan. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 418 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 11 II. Statement for satisfying Initial Screening Criteria, Including Biological and Hydrological Characteristics MEETS INITIAL SCREENING CRITERIA Yes 1. Are any of the following unique and endangered plant communities found on the property? Order of preference as follows: Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(a) i. Hardwood hammocks No ii. Xeric oak scrub No iii. Coastal strand No iv. Native beach No v. Xeric pine No vi. Riverine Oak No vii. High marsh (saline) No viii. Tidal freshwater marsh No ix. Other native habitats Yes – 6170-Mixed Wetland hardwoods; 6216- Cypress-Mixed Hardwoods; 6172-Mixed shrubs; 6210- Cypress. Vegetative Communities: Staff used two methods to determine native plant communities present; review of South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) electronic databases for Department of Transportation’s Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms (FLUCCS) and field verification of same. Features were interpreted from the county-based aerial photography. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 419 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 12 FLUCCS: The electronic database identified: (in order of predominance) • 6170- Mixed Wetland Hardwoods • 6216 – Cypress – Mixed Hardwoods • 6172 – Mixed Shrubs • 6210- Cypress The following native plant communities were directly observed: • 6170 – Mixed Wetland Hardwoods • 6216 – Cypress – Mixed hardwoods Characterization of Plant Communities present: Ground Cover: Ground cover species observed bidens (Bidens alba), winged sumac (Rhus copallinum L.), morning-glory (Ipomoea sagittata Poir), sweet acacia (Vachellia farnesiana) and various epiphytic ferns Midstory: Midstory species included beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), marlberry (Ardesia escallonioides), wild coffee (Psychotria nervosa and P. sulzneri), myrsine (Myrsine floridana), Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana), pond apple (Annona glabra), and buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). Canopy: The canopy for most of the parcels consists of, in order of abundance, a mix of cypress (Taxodium distichum) cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), red maple (Acer rubrum), bay (Persea sp.), and slash pine (Pinus elliottii). Laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia) were also observed in various areas. In depressional areas, pop ash (Fraxinus caroliniana) was observed. Statement for satisfaction of criteria: These data indicate that while the Ordinance- identified endangered plant communities are not present on the parcel, intact native plant communities are present. Many of the plants observed are wetland species, with areas of upland species. This observation loosely corresponds to mapped soil types, indicating that the historic native plant communities are still present. 2. Does the land offer significant human social values, such as equitable geographic distribution, appropriate access for nature-based recreation, and enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(b) Yes Statement for satisfaction of criteria: This group of parcels has access from four public roads: Desoto Blvd., 36th Ave SE, 38th Ave. SE, 40th Ave. SE. Desoto and 40th Ave. SE are paved road, both 36th and 38th Ave. SE are unpaved but passable by vehicle. Forty- second Ave. SE, which runs north of I-75, is not passable by vehicle. The southern-most Argay parcel abuts the I-75 canal and are within the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) I-75 right of way but are not visible from I-75. All properties could accommodate seasonal outdoor recreation with some clearing for trails. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 420 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 13 3. Does the property offer opportunities for protection of water resource values, including aquifer recharge, water quality enhancement, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, and flood control? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(c) Yes General Hydrologic Characteristics observed and description of adjacent upland /wetland buffers: Wetland dependent plant species (OBL/ FACW) present within the area: OBL FACW buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) swamp fern (Blechnum serrulatum) Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana) red maple (Acer rubrum) cypress (Taxodium distichum) pond apple (Annona glabra) pop ash (Fraxinus caroliniana) swamp bay (Persea palustris) Wetland dependent wildlife species observed: No wetland-dependent wildlife species were observed. Other hydrologic indicators observed: Mature cypress trees are present on the properties and cypress knees are commonly found. Surface water was observed at the time of the September 2021 site visit. Soils: Soils data is from a digital soil survey and generally is the most detailed level of soil geographic data developed by the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Collier County soils data comes from the United States Department of Agriculture and Natural Resource Conservation Service 1990 Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida. Except for the Rudnick parcel on 36th Ave SE, the four other parcels consist of Boca, Riviera, limestone substratum, and Copeland fine sands. These soils are hydric, very poorly drained and found in depressions, swamps, and marshes. Typical vegetation includes cypress, pickerel weed, and alligator flag. The Rudnick property is mapped as Hallandale fine sand, a slough soil. This soil type is nearly level, poorly drained and found in sloughs and drainageways. The natural vegetation consists of scrub cypress, sand cordgrass, wax myrtle and maidencane. The vegetation observed on the properties is somewhat consistent, though more forested, with what is expected on these soils, with the difference that no scrub cypress was observed on the areas mapped as Hallandale and Boca fine sands. The size/age of some of the cypress trees indicates that the area has historically contained wetlands. Karst, a formation of limestone, has been observed in the central and southern portions of the existing Dr. Robert H. Gore III preserve parcels. Karst is a wetland indicator. Lower Tamiami recharge Capacity: Low, mapped in GIS at 0-7" annually. (0-7” is the lowest annual recharge rate. The highest recharge rate is 21”-102” annually) 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 421 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 14 Surficial Aquifer Recharge Capacity: Moderate - mapped at 43 to 56” annually. (Low recharge is 31” to <43” annually and High recharge is 56” to 76” annually.) Federal Emergency Management Area (FEMA) Flood map designation: The property is primarily within Flood Zone AH. Zone AH indicates an area subject to inundation by 1-percent-annual-chance shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding) where average depths are between 1 and 3 feet. This zone is considered a high-risk flood zone. Statement for satisfaction of criteria: The plant communities found on the properties were mostly consistent with mapped soils, and the properties contain wetlands and wetland plant communities. As such, they provide habitat for wetland-dependent species. The properties are not mapped as contributing significantly to the Tamiami Aquifer, but they are mapped as contributing moderately to the Surficial Aquifer. Wetlands can serve as a buffer to filter contaminated water. Since surface water in this area flows towards the I-75 canal, and wetlands on the parcels may help to clean runoff before it enters the I-75 canal. The Rudnick and Cedeno parcels hold water during wet season and can be expected to contribute to flood control in the local area. The presence of hydrologic indicators such as cypress knees, karst and water marks on buttressed cypress trunks provides evidence of seasonal flooding. 4. Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity, listed species habitat, connectivity, restoration potential and ecological quality? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(d) Yes Listed Plant Species: The federal authority to protect land-based plant species is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and published in 50 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 23. Lists of protected plants can be viewed on-line at https://www.fws.gov/endangered/. The Florida state lists of protected plants are administered and maintained by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) via chapter 5B-40, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) and can be found on their website. Some of the parcels were too wet or too dense with Brazilian Pepper along the roadside to traverse. However, we can provide information regarding plants observed on the immediately adjacent Dr. Robert H. Gore III preserve. The following listed plant species have been observed on the Dr. Robert H. Gore III preserve: COMMON NAME SCIENTIFIC NAME STATUS State Federal giant sword fern Nephrolepis biserrata T n/a common wild pine Tillandsia fasciculata T n/a reflexed wild pine Tillandsia balbisiana T n/a giant air plant Tillandsia utriculata E n/a E=Endangered; T=Threatened 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 422 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 15 Listed Wildlife Species: Federal wildlife species protection is administered by the FWS with specific authority published in 50 CFR 17. Lists of protected wildlife can be viewed on-line at: https://www.fws.gov/endangered/ FWC maintains the Florida state list of protected wildlife in accordance with Rules 68A- 27.003, 68A-27.004, and 68A-27.005, respectively, of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). A list of protected Florida wildlife species can be viewed at: https://myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/wildlife/. Listed Wildlife Observed: Listed wildlife species have been observed by staff during site visits and on wildlife cameras on the existing preserve. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission panther telemetry data show panther presence on the parcels. Linda Weinland, neighbor, has personally seen 5 panthers on the property since 2012 and noted a sighting of a female with kittens in 2014. Ms. Weinland was told by FWC staff that the habitat is favorable for females with young. Although not currently listed in Florida, Ms. Weinland has seen dozens of black bears in the last 5 years, including females with cubs. Bird Rookery observed? No bird rookery has been observed by staff; however, Ms. Weinland reported that she has observed nests of pileated woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus) and barred owls (Strix varia). FWC-derived species richness score: The parcels scored range from 5 to eight species indicating potential for above average species diversity. Non-listed species observed: A red-shouldered hawk was observed during the September 2021 site visit. In 2007 the previous owner of the preserve parcels (Robert H. Gore) had reported observations of bobcats, opossums, raccoons, deer, nine-banded armadillos, and ibis on the parcels. Neighbor Linda Weinland reports seeing bobcats, spotted skunks, raccoons, bats, mice, grey squirrels, yellow rat snakes, red rat snakes, black racers, scarlet king snakes, coral snakes, pigmy rattlesnakes, diamondback rattlesnakes, ringneck snakes and green anoles. Potential Listed Species: The observed habitat and location would support the presence of the following listed species: Florida panther (Felis concolor coryii), Everglades mink (Mustela vison evergladensis), Florida brown snake (Storeria victa), tricolor heron (Egretta tricolor), and little blue heron (Egretta caerulea). Statement for satisfaction of criteria: These parcels are mapped as having above- average biodiversity. Wildlife monitoring cameras within the preserve area indicate high utilization by Florida panther, Florida black bear, white tailed deer, wild turkey, spotted skunk, and nesting birds. The parcels in application (with the exception of D’Angelo parcel) would need to have the Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) removed from the properties as was done with the existing preserve parcels. The D’Angelo parcel understory and Brazilian pepper infestation was mechanically removed in 2018, the property has had some exotic grasses come in that would need to be mowed. The 171.2- acre preserve has been entirely treated for exotic vegetation and is now under 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 423 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 16 maintenance. Adding onto the preserve will provide additional acreage that will not be developed and in turn will be available for wildlife utilization. 5. Does the property enhance and/or protect the environmental value of current conservation lands through function as a buffer, ecological link or habitat corridor? Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(e) Yes. Statement for satisfaction of criteria: These properties are within a historic wetland area that connects on the east side with the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge (FPNWR) via the vehicle test track, about a mile and a half away. The Gore properties would enhance or protect the FPNWR primarily by acting as a buffer and providing a reasonably large sized wild land addition north of I-75. There are Wildlife underpasses at the FakaUnion and Miller Canal. Just south of FPNWR and the I-75 corridor, is the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, about 2.5 miles from the properties. Panthers who utilize the existing 2 underpasses under I-75 (the Faka Union and Miller canals) could access the preserve. A little over 2 miles to the west are the North Belle Meade sending lands. In 2007, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) biologists did not encourage use of the area to corridor panthers farther west into North Belle Meade due to increasing development in that area. At present, FWC would support the acquisition of this property for panther habitat, but cautions about defining a westward corridor because there is no master plan that identifies it as such and there are developed lands west of Everglades Blvd. Potential for a future Everglades access to I-75 is also a noted obstacle in the way of a habitat corridor. The Picayune Strand State Forest is directly to the south across I-75. Panthers could move south from the FakaUnion canal, just south of the properties, into the Picayune creating an ecological link and habitat corridor. The Gore properties are located within a Primary Panther Habitat Zone. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 424 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 17 Is the property within the boundary of another agency’s acquisition project? No If yes, will use of Conservation Collier funds leverage a significantly higher rank or funding priority for the parcel? No Without such funding circumstances, Conservation Collier funds shall not be available for purchase of these lands. Ord. 2002-63, Sec. 10 (1)(f) III. Potential for Appropriate Use and Recommended Site Improvements Potential Uses as Defined in Ordinance 2002-63, section 5.9: The five parcels would be an expansion of the existing Conservation Collier Dr. Robert H. Gore III preserve. Overall, it is important to note that adding onto the preserve will provide additional acreage that will not be developed and in turn will be available for wildlife utilization. The addition of trails and site improvements to these parcels will be evaluated and reviewed with an update land management plan. See Exhibit E for preserve conceptual amenities. Hiking: Some of the parcels could be incorporated into the trail system. Old trails exist on the parcels and a current tenant in the stilt home on the home site parcel is working to reopen them. Nature Photography: These properties provide opportunities for nature photography. Birdwatching: Parcels will provide opportunities for birdwatching after exotic vegetation removal is complete. Kayaking/Canoeing: The parcels do not provide opportunities for kayaking or canoeing. However, the preserve as a whole may have such opportunities in the future along the canal as budgeting and permitting consideration allow. Swimming: This property does not provide opportunities for swimming. Hunting: Hunting is not permitted in Golden Gate Estates. Fishing: The preserve as a whole may have such opportunities in the future along the canal as budgeting and permitting consideration allow. Collaboration with Cypress Cove Landkeepers: Please note that since acquisition of the original 171 acre preserve, the Cypress Cove Landkeepers (fka Cypress Cove Conservancy) has acquired the 10 acres with homesite on 40th Ave SE in the center of the preserve. The original Memorandum of Understanding reviewed by the CCLAAC and approved by the Board in 2020. Staff has been coordinating with the Landkeepers regarding signage and trail connections. The Landkeepers have been working on renovating the home to become the Gore Nature Education Center. For more information about Cypress Cove Landkeepers please go to their website. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 425 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 18 IV. Assessment of Management Needs and Costs Management of the additional parcels will address the costs of exotic vegetation removal and control, signage, the construction of a trail system to allow the public to have access to selected portions of the property and a small public parking area. The following assessment provides estimates of both the initial and recurring costs of management. These are very preliminary estimates; Ordinance 20027-63, as revised (Ordinance 2007- 65), requires a formal land management plan be developed for each property acquired by Conservation Collier. See Exhibit E for preserve conceptual amenities. Exotic, Invasive Plants Present: The properties are infested by significant amounts of invasive exotic plants. The interior areas are approximately 15-35% infested with mature Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius). Along roadsides and at the home site parcel, the infestation is at approximately 95%, and includes air potato (Dioscorea bulbifera), Caesars weed (Urena lobate), lantana (Lantana camara), arrowhead (Syngonium podophyllum), and balsam apple (Momordica charantia). There are likely other exotic species in interior locations that were not directly observed. Exotic Vegetation Removal and Control: The initial cost of exotic removal would be substantial due to the amount present, the density of the vegetation and the difficulty of accessing some areas. Based on costs for the level of infestation observed to treat with herbicide in place are estimated at approx. $427 per acre. Considering this likely per- acre cost, exotic removal for these parcels (17.59 acres) could cost approximately $7,500. Costs for follow-up maintenance, done anywhere from quarterly to annually would be similar. Conventional understanding that these costs could decrease over time as the soil seed bank is depleted have not completely borne out. The current observed trend is for additional plant species to invade. This could keep management costs high for some time. Public Parking Facility: Considering the size of the parcels, a preserve at this location could be a destination for hikers. The D’Angelo parcel may be a good site to consider for a parking lot for the existing preserve since it has already been cleared in the front and is higher than surrounding properties. Public Access Trails: Trails exist on the preserve property. The addition of trails and site improvements to these parcels will be evaluated and reviewed with an update land management plan. Security and General Maintenance: Field fencing, similar to that used by FL DOT along I-75 could be used on parcels as needed. However, fencing would not be recommended for the majority of parcels to allow for wildlife utilization. Signage and wildlife monitoring cameras have been installed at the existing preserve. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 426 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 19 Table 2. Summary of Estimated Management Needs and Costs t.b.d. To be determined; costs are unknown at this point. Management Element Initial Cost Annual Recurring Costs Comments Exotics Control $7,500-$10,000 $5,000 Kill in place at $427 per acre for 18 acres. Parking Facility $20,000 for existing preserve t.b.d. A parking lot has not been constructed on the existing preserve. Current estimates are $20,000 minimum for a small parking lot. Additional costs would include engineering, permits and clearing. Access Trails/ ADA t.b.d. t.b.d. Expanding existing trails could be done for minimal cost. ADA trails would cost significantly more.

Potential for Matching Funds The primary partnering agencies for conservation acquisitions, and those identified in the ordinance are the Florida Communities Trust (FCT), and The Florida Forever Program. The following highlights potential for partnering funds, as communicated by agency staff: Florida Communities Trust (FCT) - Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program: The FCT Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program provides grant funds to local governments and nonprofit organizations to acquire conservation lands, urban open spaces, parks, and greenways. Application for this program is typically made for pre- acquired sites up to two years from the time of acquisition. The Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program assists the Department of Environmental Protection in helping communities meet the challenges of growth, supporting viable community development and protecting natural resources and open space. The program receives 21 percent Florida Forever appropriation. Florida Forever Program: Staff has been previously advised that the Florida Forever Program is concentrating on parcels already included on its ranked priority list. This parcel is not inside a Florida Forever priority project boundary. Additionally, the Conservation Collier Program has not been successful in partnering with the Florida Forever Program due to conflicting acquisition policies and issues regarding joint title between the programs. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 428 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 21 VI.

Hydrological indicators and soil type indicate that area is part of a wetland system and native wetlands plant communities were observed on the site. The site contributes minimally to the Lower Tamiami Aquifer and moderately to the Surficial Aquifer. Biodiversity on the site is scored by FWC as above average. However, it would need significant work to remove exotics and restore it to a high level of ecological function. It is approximately 1.5 miles from the FPNWR, 2.5 miles from the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve and just north of the Picayune Strand State Forest across I-75. There are 2 known connections to Picayune and Fakahatchee lands, south of I-75; at the FakaUnion and Miller canal crossings. There is a landscape ecological link with FPNWR across the Ford Test Track. Human Values/Aesthetics – 70 out of 100: The property scored average in this category primarily due to access from a paved road (Desoto Blvd.), because its size would accommodate hiking and because area roads (38th, 40th and 42nd Aves SE) make a large portion visible from a public thoroughfare. The properties are also accessible on foot via 42nd Ave. SE, which is an unimproved gravel road traversing the FDOT I-75 right of way. An historic agreement between the State Department of Transportation and the original NGGE developer grants legal access to property owners along 42nd Ave. SE, although this access is not maintained by the County Road Department. Vulnerability – 50 out of 100: The parcels include 5 separate lots that could be developed. Management –73 out of 100: The slightly above-average score for this section is a result of the lack of alterations necessary to sustain the area’s hydrologic functions. The score was depressed, however, by the need to remove the severe Brazilian pepper infestation. Adjacent properties would serve as seed banks, and any trails created on the parcels would need to be maintained regularly through mechanical removal of exotics, as burning is not appropriate to the area because of the presence of wetland hardwoods and difficulties due to proximity to I-75. Parcel Size: While parcel size was not scored, the ordinance advises that based on comparative size, the larger of similar property size to the existing preserve is preferred. Therefore, addition to the existing preserve is significant in size and is comparable with other multi- parcel projects within the North Golden Gate Estates, such as Winchester Head and NGGE Unit 53. 26.A.11 Packet Pg. 430 Attachment: IVB4 - ICSR Gore Area Parcels (20354 : Land Acquisition Advisory Committee - October 11, 2021) Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio #: 5 folios Name: Gore Preserve area parcels Date: October 2021 23 Exhibit A.
