| 11. (11) The GIS-system will have ability for you to pick out a developable parcel using block and lot information. To this parcel you will be able to enter attribute information for a proposed development including the percentage of planned impervious vs. pervious cover. You will also be able to identify potential basin(s) locations within the development project. After all this data is entered, calculations will be automated with mapped and tabulated results.
Based on the aforementioned potential, please indicate how useful the following proposed data/visual outputs would be in planning, reviewing, permitting, maintaining and/or restoring basins. |
