20. SFHA and Exclusion Areas URP 4273: Survey of Planning Information Systems Created by URP 4273 Team 3 November 2002 Source: FGDL Data & URP Planning Information East Gainesville SFHA Flood Areas Above Flood Plain were generated with ArcGIS Geo-Processing by Intersect of shfa.shp and union_final.shp.

29. Conclusions The data presented provided ample information to find a site meeting the goal objective. Some data required additional steps involving tabular manipulation to accommodate queries needed to find suitable sites. Geo-Processing Wizards sometimes required multiple attempts to return useful thematic datasets—wizards did not always accomplish what was expected.
