1. Compliance with LBRS Standards An In-House Effort Shoreh Elhami, GISP GIS Director Delaware County Auditor’s Office 2008 Ohio GIS Conference September 10-12, 2008 Crowne Plaza North Hotel Columbus, Ohio

2. Compliance with LBRS Standards An In-House Effort Introduction & Objective Procedure Pilot Project Datasets Methodology Approval Process Update Mechanism Summary

3. Introduction – Delaware County Located in central Ohio, fastest growing county in the State of Ohio since 1980 21 st fastest growing county in the nation A mature GIS system – circa 1990 A comprehensive GIS dataset – over 100 data layers To learn more, visit our website at: www.dalisproject.org

4. Objective To comply with the State’s LBRS standards and guidelines to help build seamless statewide GIS datasets; an absolute necessity for numerous applications including disaster response and transportation To demonstrate what’s involved in an In- House effort and encourage similar GIS shops (the hesitant ones!) to do the same

5. Procedure Contacted OGRIP/ODOT; multiple meetings Conducted a Pilot Project Compared OGRIP and County’s datasets Populated the pilot area with new information and submitted all datasets Met with OGRIP again; this time other decision makers attended In the process of signing the MOA OGRIP will sign next; funding will be allocated Countywide work will start Annual Update Mechanism (all processes will be documented and available to all interested parties)

6. Pilot Project: Compare LBRS’ Datasets with County’s Address Points – Existing Street Centerline – Existing Alternate Street Names Table – New Centerline Points – New Landmark Table – New

7. County’s Address Points Originally outsourced in 1999; the county was driven and address points were GPS’ed (plus front façade photos) – countywide update interval is 5 years Annual in-house update – driving Includes all structures within the county (+/- 80,000 structures) Rich attribute data – 35 attributes

8. County’s Address Points

9. County’s Street Centerline Created from 6 inch pixel resolution Orthophotos stereoscopically; limited attributes – 1997 Several additional attributes since then – up to 28 attributes Road mileage: +/- 1,700

10. County’s Street Centerline

11. Address Points - Comparison Add 11 attributes SEG_ID, NLF_ID, MP_VAL, BUILDING, FLOOR, STRUC_TYPE, FIPS_CODE, SOURCE, COLL_DATE, Z_COORD, OCC_STAT Map 9 attributes (different name, same content) PARCEL_NO, STREET_NUMB, PREDIR, PRETYPE, NAME, TYPE, SUFDIR, UNIT_NUMBER, ZIP_CODE

12. Address Points SEG_ID (same as county’s ROAD_LAYER): 1.Geo-coded the address file using the Street Centerline with a 5 foot side offset and 3 feet end offset 2.Created a 7 foot buffer from the Street Centerline (List – Dissolve by SEG_ID) 3.Conducted a Spatial Join between layers from step 1 and 2 (to get the SEG_ID from the buffer layer to the geo-coded layer) 4.Regular join between the layer in step 3 and the Address Point layer by LSN or full address as join item

13. SEG_ID: ROAD_LAYER

14. Address Points (contin...) NLF_ID (ODOT ID Number) Joined Address Points to road centerline by using full street name as join item MP_VAL (Address Point’s 3D Distance) Created a route, used “Locate features along a route” function of 3D Analyst to transpose address points on the route (5000’ distance) Created an event point layer using the table from the previous step; deleted all records that their NLF_ID was not equal to RID (Route ID) to weed out erroneous records Joined the clean layer to Address Point; used LSN as join item (excluded zero addresses); Calculate MP_VAL = MEAS

15. MP_VAL – Creating the Route

16. MP_VAL

17. Address Points (contin...) Z_COORD Calculated from the Terrain using Functional Surface > “Interpolate Shape” using 3D analyst extension of ArcGIS

18. Street Centerline Add 21 attributes L_TWP, R_TWP, L_CITY, R_CITY, L_COUNTY, R_COUNTY, L_STATE, R_STATE, L_FIPS, R_FIPS, JURISDIC, CARDINAL, BEG_LOG, END_LOG, LENGTH3D, STYPE, DIR_TRAV, LANES, REV_DIR, DIV, SPEED Map 14 attributes ROAD_LAYER, PREDIR, PRETYPE, NAME, TYPE, SUFDIR, F_LEFT, T_LEFT, F_RIGHT, T_RIGHT, ZIP_LEFT, ZIP_RIGHT, E_CODE, NLF_ID

19. Street Centerline Length3D Created a Terrain from 6-foot Contour (from 2’ contour) and converted to raster to create a DEM (3D Analyst – Conversion – From Terrain – Terrain to Raster) Use the Functional Surface > “Surface Length” function (3D Analyst Extension of ArcGIS) to calculate 3D Length BEG_LOG & END_LOG Manually created for pilot area; though it will be calculated by ODOT for the county

20. Length3D

22. Alternate Street Names Table Alias name information already existed in our street centerline layer Add 12 attributes STR_PRE_1&2, PRE_TYPE_1&2, STR_NAME_1&2, STR_TYPE_1&2, STR_DIR_1&2, LSN_1&2 Map 7 attributes ROAD_LAYER, PREDIR, PRETYPE, NAME, TYPE, SUFDIR, ADDRESS

23. Centerline Points The existing centerline point layer is designed for road intersection search; the content and function to create this layer is different from the new layer The new layer includes a vertex at every road intersection as well as where the road is intersected by zip code and municipal boundary Includes 4 attributes STR_ID, X_COORD, Y_COORD, Z_COORD

24. Landmark table County’s landmarks all exist in the Address Point layer with their alias names Extracted all of those records Deleted unnecessary attributes Added 1 new attribute (LM_ID) Mapped 4 attributes PARCEL_NO, ALIAS, ADDRESS, NLF_ID

25. Summary Pilot Project started in early 2008 Three Submittals of datasets Received multiple feedbacks The last version was submitted in August 2008 Spent +/-100 hours on the pilot project which became the basis for final estimates

26. Summary Time estimate to complete countywide datasets: +/- 1,294 hours After funding is allocated, the countywide work will begin Delivery date: +/-3 months Will develop a routine to publish all five (5) datasets annually (will maintain two versions of Address Points and Street Centerline layers) Complete documentation will be available to everyone from our website
