Creating Common Interest Community Maps Jeffery J. Jensen, PE UNLV College of Civil Engineering

Outline Future in GIS Goals Problems Solutions Outcome/Results Discuss various GIS tips along the way

Future in GIS Continue Growth in Web Services –ArcIMS and ArcMap –MapGuide and AutoCAD (not there) –Web Map Services (WMS) MapServer by UMN ArcMap and AutoCAD Map connections –Google Map/Earth – KML “To release is to choose” Hristo Deshev –Ongoing development cycle

Future – ArcIMS and ArcMap

Must publish ArcIMS services through the web Where 2.0 Video: Google/ESRI Keynote hives/2008/05/where-20- video-googleesri- keyn.html

Goals Help identify all encumbrances on a parcel –Deeds, Plats and Title Reports –Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) –Bylaws of the Homeowners Associations Identify boundaries of Common Interest Communities –Master Homeowners Association, Sub- associations

The Players Ombudsman’s Office Secretary of State Business License Neighborhood Services Property Managers Public Works Recorders and Assessors Enforcement Realtors

Problems - Tabular No Common Names or ID –Plat – Subdivision Map –SOS Entity Name –Developer’s marketing name of neighborhood –Business License, DBA –NV Real Estate Division (RED) –Realtors, MLS Disconnected Databases –No common relate field between databases

Problems - Spatial No Physical Address Plat Map = HOA Boundary –Not Always –One HOA but Many Subdivision Units Master Association and Sub

Solutions - Tabular Create Index –GLVAR MLS database –AssocName, Subdivision1, Subdivision2 fields –NVSOS.gov Business Entity Search –SOS Entity# (Corporation#), URL, Resident Agents Address fields Standarized ID – SOS Entity#

Solutions - Spatial Sub-associations Polygon Layer Create using Assessor Parcels and MLS, SOS and RED databases Subdivision – dissolve based on ADTYPE and/or PCLSUBD Master Associations Create by dissolving Sub-association Polygon Layer RED database has Excel spreadsheet relating Parent to Child GLVAR MLS database –Create point layer using Lat/Long –APN field, join with Assessor Parcels point layer –Address Matching with SCL

Solutions – Creation & Edits Option 1: Tabular –use ArcMap geoprocessing tools (dissolve) to generate HOA boundaries APNs change – need AOPARCHILD.TXT (pedigree of parcel creation) ArcMap Bugs – “to release is to choose” Option 2: Spatial –ArcMap edit session, copy/paste parcel features from Assessor layer Recommend, being used by City of Henderson

Solutions – Spatial, Create Index Clark County Recorder CC&Rs Bylaws?? –PDF index Adobe Acrobat

Recorder – CC&Rs Metadata –Custom Properties Acrobat Professional (convert TIFF to PDF, OCR, Metadata) EXIFTOOL Verypdf Windows PowerShell –Search Windows Desktop Search Google Desktop Search

CC&Rs Search Results

Publish HOA Maps Google Map –Safe Software FME –Convert Shapefiles to kml Zonums.com/shp2kml.html –Issues when building many polygons

Subassociations

Attribute of Parcel

Outcome/Results Can Be Done –Create subassociation boundaries –Master HOAs Dissolve Subassociations –hyperlink Recorder’s CC&R TIFF images Need a Better Solution –Bylaws Must contact each HOA, no central database Getdocsnow.com
