This dataset contains photogrammetrically compiled roof outlines of buildings. All near orthogonal corners are square. Buildings that are less than 400 square feet are not captured. Special consideration is given to garages that are less than 400 square
feet and will be digitized when greater than 200 square feet. Interim rooflines, such as dormers and party walls, as well as minor structures, such as carports, decks, patios, stairs, etc., and impermanent structures, such as sheds, are not shown. Large buildings which appear to house activities that are commercial or industrial in nature
are shown as commercial/industrial. Structures that appear to be primarily
residential in nature, including hotels and apartment buildings are shown as
residential buildings. Structures which appear to be used or owned primarily by
governmental, nonprofit, religious, or charitable organizations, or which serve
a public function are shown as public buildings. Structures which are closely
associated with a larger building, such as a garage, are shown as an out
building. Structures which cannot be clearly defined as Industrial/Commercial;
Residential; Public; or Out Buildings are flagged as such for later
categorization. The classification of buildings is subject to the
interpretation from the aerial photography and may not reflect the building’s
actual use. Buildings that have an area less than the minimum required size for data capture will occasionally be present in the Geodatabase. Buildings
are not removed after they have been digitized and determined to be less than
the minimum required size.
Development Notes: Data meets or exceeds map accuracy standards
in effect during the spring of 1992 and updated as a result of a flyover in the
spring of 2004 and 2015. Original data was derived from aerial photography flown in the spring of 1992 for the eastern half of the County and the spring of 1993 for
the western half of the County. Photography was produced at a scale of 1"=1500'. Mapping was stereo digitized at a scale of 1"=200'.
