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.

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

Data development is a component of the Efficient Transportation Decision Making Process (ETDM). The primary objectives of the ETDM initiative include: Effective/timely decision making without compromising environmental quality. Integrating review and permitting process. - Early NEPA reviews and approvals - Full and early participation - Meaningful dispute resolution For more information about these initiatives an on-line search using keyword 'ETDM' will provide a number of resources. A listing of relevant documents and resources is included under: http://fdotenvironmentalstreamlining.urs-tally.com/Library/default.htm. - DTS USE CONSTRAINTS - All provided GIS data is to be considered a generalized spatial representation which is subject to revisions.

Data Transfer Solutions (DTS) is working with the Florida Department of Transportation, District 5 to create regional maps of "sociocultural" features, including hospitals, parks, cemeteries, school boundaries, and others. The maps will provide the FDOT with improved spatial information required for planning roadway projects.

A note about data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are 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. 1:125000 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 analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

Data for Flagler County Process Steps: Collected school data for Flagler County from Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL). Reprojected data set into State Plane Florida East NAD 83, feet. Searched Google Earth, Florida Department of Education (http://www.fldoe.org/Default.asp?bhcp=1) and Flagler County Public Schools (http://www.flagler.k12.fl.us/default.aspx?cf=Schools%5cschools) and added missing schools found on these websites to the school point file. This point file was plotted on a base map for use in field verification. Base maps were given to field crew to verify. Field crew drove all state roads and higher twice to verify existing data and collect new data (this was a search for new facilities). Field crew drove local roads twice to verify existing data and collect new data if something is seen (this was not an active search). Field crew returned marked up maps to in-house staff. In-house staff modified the shapefiles for existing data and created new shapefiles for new data obtained in the field. In-house staff then searched the internet for any additional features and additional information (if available) for verified features. Staff found additional features from the following web-sites: (http://www.floridasmart.com) In-house staff performed QA/QC of data. Point shapefile was used to create polygon shapefile. Process Date: 20061201 Data for Volusia County Process Steps: Collected school data for Volusia County from Volusia County (http://www.volusia.org/gis/Default.htm) and Florida Geographic Data Library (FGDL).
