[Imports] Tampa/Clearwater Florida Building Import for Irma Recover Efforts

[Andrew Matheny]

I think 36 feet could be a reasonable height. It appears to be a retail or
commercial building, which in the US can easily have a clear height
(internal ceiling height) of 16-24' for each floor (if not more, I've seen
some at 28'). Like James mentioned, this could be a multi-story building.

Also keep in mind that the height field is supposed to reflect the maximum
height, not an average. So any slope (like their appears to be on that
building) is going to increase the height value.

Thanks,

Andrew
