GIS Applications


Land Parcel Notification and Topographic Map Viewing System Overview

This web-based application is meant to be a generalized means for users, both within LINC and the public, to look up information that has some relation to County geography, properties or planning. The Land Parcel Notification and Topographic Map Viewing System will allow users to search for properties based on a tabular query (roll number, name, civic address) and also through a spatial query using standard window functionality like zoom window.

The spatial data will be served to the Intranet/Internet from one central server located at the County. The application will permit basic online editing of the spatial data. The tabular data utilized in the application will be channeled from multiple locations (ie. zoning database could be maintained by the local municipality). Access to the GIS databases will be grouped into four categories; free data, public data, LINC member data and secured data. Access to the categories of data and system functionality will be granted on a subscription basis save and except the free data.

Portions of the application will require a maintenance auditing system as well as an electronic commerce solution. The application will be flexible enough to print reports and mailing labels related to the selected properties and notify owners or occupants using traditional mail merge technology.

The application will give the public and private business a web based tool allowing their business or property to be located on a map. It will also determine the shortest path to the business, and print out related directions and maps. The business locations, descriptions and associated URL addresses will be maintained online by the businesses themselves through a Business Input Screen. The Business Input Screen will link the event address to a location on the County Single Line Road Network Map. Other site related information (overlays) of interest to the public and business community will also be included.
