Local Government Applications - We Got 'hm" now! See that!!!

Seeing is believing.  Our objective is to put learned mini skills to work checking out a county tax assessors website.  A client has requested that an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) be conducted on his property. His objective is ultimately to evaluation the impacts of a "Fly-In Community" upon his adjacent property owners.  

I'll not add all of our maps for this writing.  But a couple would be helpful. 
The basic steps taken were:
     1- Isolate subject property.
     2- Identify adjacent parcels.
     3-Identify zoning of subject & adjacent parcels.
     4-Identify EIA impact data (here limited to soil, census, zoning, roads, water, elevation, historical lots).
     5- We also used this study to created a Map Index with data driven pages. (I've used these many many times with DOT right of way maps for title searches, now I know how they are created).

One of our basemaps looks like this:
 Ultimately, the client wanted to figure out a way to get his toys in and out of the house without being too much of an uninvited zoned neighbor.   

The Marion County, Florida aerial enlarged on his parcel in red caught him.  I've counted 3 toys of various sizes actually on the property.   One can tell they are not part of the house structure by viewing the outline of the shadows.   Does this guy, Danny Zuko, need a bigger garage or what? Pictures are usually worth a thousand words.  This one may be worth several thousand in zoning violation penalties instead.  "Got Him"
