If a full blown geotechnical study isn't an option, send someone out with a hoe to dig some test pits. If water table is an issue for your design, then it's imperative you find out what that is first.

It's important to get this right in Florida so you don't accidentally draw down a neighbor's water feature by setting your control elevation lower than the permanent pool on his property. Doing so could damage the value of his property and you'd be liable.
