Issue full description
The process of 3D imaging in Google Earth:
- Import shape files for the individual parcels from the City of Newton GIS database (provides in situ parcel boundaries and existing buildings.)
- Utilize the program's measurement tools to implement the proposed zoning (dimensional controls) to create and overlay transparent zoning envelopes.
- Results in visualizations of lot specific proposed zoning envelopes in the existing built environment.
The Waban Area Council gave a presentation and held a discussion of the rezoned residential parcels on Beacon St/Manitoba Rd/Waban Ave. Here is the link to the presentation - link.
