Lab 9 Urban Planning

Participation assignment 2

Question 1) The Pinellas county appraisers office has a web mapping site   

but it is curently under construction. Here is the site http://www.pcpao.org/TAXPARCELVIEWERBETA.html

http://egis.pinellascounty.org/apps/PropertyAppraiser/paotpv/

Question2)What was the highest selling property for the month of June?

I was unable to locate this information on the Pinellas county appraiser's website. Perhaps it is because the site is currently under construction. However I used Zillow to obtain the requested information. The selling price of the property was $1,800,000. The previous selling information given listed the previous sell date as 12/26/12 for 225,000. Sounds like an amazing house flip/investment. WOW!

Question 3) The assessed land value is much much lower than the last sale price. The assessed land value is $137, 914 and the house sold on 5/1/13 for $268,000. I know because this is a family members house. The data is also not up to date, the owners name listed is stated as the previous owner, not the current. I checked my own home out of curiosity and my land value is $30, 000 less then I paid, and I have completely remodeled the house since.

Question 4)This home is one of Glenn Q Johnson's famous 'birdcage' homes in Pinellas Point. (This home was featured in Architectural Digest in the 50's).

Question 5) Based on size and location the land parcel 090310105 (the parcel in yellow) is valued much lower than the surrounding parcels of equal size and should be adjusted.

GIS Programming Manipulating Spatial Data

GIS Applications MEDS Protect

In this weeks lab we created surety plans for the Boston Marathon. We located critical infrastructures (Critical care facilities within 3 mile of the finish-line. Establish crucial checkpoints around the finish line and established line of sight with elevation layers and hillshade tools.

GIS Programming Module 5

This week in GIS Programming we wrote a workable script in Arcpy that manipulated spatial data. We first added xy data to a hospitals point file. Using python we then wrote a script to add a 1,000 meter buffer around the hospitals and finally dissolved the overlapping buffer circles. I was nice to apply python scripts to data file.
