USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge. This layer is complete for the time period in which it is dated, provided that the informational sources or agencies provided complete and accurate information and maps.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

This data is provided 'as is' and its horizontal positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

This data is provided 'as is' and its vertical positional accuracy has not been verified by GeoPlan

A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

North Central Florida Regional Planning Council - Process Steps: Alachua CRA = parcel query from Property Appraiser, EZ = shapefile from Mike Edelson, Gainesville City Planning Dept GIS specialist. The maps were obtained in digital format from the property appraisers, by querying the parcel data tables - parcels in business districts are specially coded to note tax advantages in those areas. Bradford Pam Whittle at Bradford County Chamber of Commerce gave street boundaries over the phone. The layer was created by hand digitizing the boundaries. Columbia The feature in the layer was hand digitized from a paper map acquired from the planning council. Dixie The features in this file were hand digitized using a paper map taken from the NCFRPC Enterprise Zone application Gilchrist This shapefile was hand digitized using a paper map acquired from the planning council. Hamilton This layer was created using an existing shapefile acquired from Kevin Parrish at the planning council. Levy The CRA was done using and existing shapefile and hand digitizing from a paper map . For Williston, an existing shape file from Bill Taylor, WRPC was used. Cedar Key was done using the pre-existing city boundary obtained from Cedar Key attorney David Coffee, and hand digitized from a digital photo taken of a map on his wall. Madison Business districts, EZ and CRA, shapefile was done by creating a new shapefile and digitizing hand drawn maps. Suwannee Live Oak CRA shapefile was done by creating a new shapefile by hand digitizing a map obtained from the planning council. Taylor This layer was created using and editing an existing shapefile. February, 2005 to June, 2005 Process Date: 20050601 Northeast Florida Regional Planning Council - Process Steps: 1. Obtained the locations of the areas of interest from resources in varying formats. Some were verbal descriptions, some were hand-drawn maps, and others were digital image maps that were emailed to us. 2. Features were digitized using cadastral parcel polygons, street centerlines, and section lines as a base. 3. Final layer was checked for quality control. Any discrepancies were noted and resolved. Process Date: 20060601 GeoPlan Center - Process Steps GeoPlan received this data, via CDROM, and performed the following: -Reprojected to the FGDL Albers HPGN map projection. -Merged datasets together to create one FDOT District-wide shapefile. -Restructured the attribute table to fit the SCE Data Specification Document Standards. -Added FGDLAQDATE field based on the date FGDL acquired the data from the source. -Added DESCRIPT field based on 'NAME' -Added SOURCE field based on Data Source. Process Date: 20060614
