Description:

Abstract:

This layer contains arcs that are used to construct the polygon coverage that depicts the outlines of buildings larger than 10 feet by 10 feet in size as captured from aerial photography. This line layer contains information to track specific portions of buildings that had extensions or additions from previous aerial photography. Includes primary structures such as residential, agricultural, business, and industrial and large ancillary structures such as barns, detached garages, out buildings, storage sheds, silos, etc.

Purpose:

Data created for Lancaster County GIS for planning purposes. Intended for illustration and demonstration purposes only.

Supplemental_Information: Created based on 1 inch to 1600 foot aerial photography

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Verified through comparison with sources, ground checking through use and verification against supersceded layers.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Topology exists for coverage. The same number of polygons exist in the exported shapefile. No polygon overlap.

Completeness_Report: Complete from aerial photography.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Accuracy conforms to National Mapping Accuracy Standards of planimetric and topographic mapping data at a design scale of 1"=200'. Verified through comparison against source photography and field work.

Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 3.5

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:

Estimated that 95% of points fall within 3.5 meters (10 ft.) or ground position.
