Add data
Copy parks feature class to WaterProject Use ArcCatalog to copy the parks feature class of the parks feature dataset of the Greenvalley database to the WaterProject database. The actual data is copied to the WaterProject database since it is already part of a database rather than a layer. Create streets and flood zone layers These layers will not be modified so layers will be created as shortcuts to the data. From the Greenvalley database, select the Transportation feature class dataset. Select the street_arc feature class and click Create Layer. Save the layer as "streets" in the City_layers folder. The data for this layer is in the Greenvalley database. Create a flood_zone layer from the Hydrology dataset and the flood_polygon feature class.

Data preparation
Define coordinate system for elevation data The coordinate system for the elevation grid is defined, but there is no coordinate system defined for the lowlands shape file. In ArcCatalog, view the coordinate system for the parks_polygon file by viewing the Spatial tab of the Metadata selection. This file uses a transverse Mercator projection. Note that the coordinate system used for the elevation grid is a Lambert azimuthal equal area projection. ArcMap translated this coordinate system so the elevation grid could be displayed. There is a file named state_dot.prj that defines the coordinate system used for the lowland shapefile. View the properties of the original lowlands.shp file to see that the spatial reference value of the shape field is "unknown". Select the state_dot.prj file as the coordinate system.

Digitize an historic park There is a new historic park that is not included in the park_polygon file. A scanned image of the boundary of the park is available. This image can be digitized and added to the parks feature class. Save the current map and open a new map. Four data sets will be added to this map: the existing parks feature class, the scanned image of the new park boundary (TIFF image), the streets layer to be used for registering the image, and the parcel_2 coverage to be used to "snap" the park boundary since it aligns with a parcel boundary. Add the 3 layers to the map. Add the image to the map - there will be a warning message since there is no defined geographic coordinate systems for the image - it is defined in inches (scanner units). Select the historic image and use zoom to layer to view the file. The park image has registration marks at certain street intersections. The image can be registered by adding links between these marks and the street layer. Open an overview window to make the registration process easier.
Find the park area on the streets layer by using find to locate one of the streets on the image. When the street name is found, select zoom to features. Enable label features for the street layer. Zoom to the region of the park. Turn off the display of parcel_2 to make the map easier to read.

Register (georeference) the image by creating at least three links between the image and the street layer. Display the Georeferencing toolbar and select the historic.tif layer in it. Select fit to display.
Select add control points from the georeferencing toolbar and, using a magnifier window, center the magnifier window over the registration mark (602). Repeat for 601 and 473 and select "update georeferencing" from the toolbar. For the parcel_2 layer, set the fill color to "no color" and the outline color to red. Uncheck the streets layer so it will not display. Zoom to the area of the historic park. Add a bookmark from the view menu. To begin the digitizing process, open the editor toolbar and select start editing. Be sure the parks_polygon layer is selected to be edited and the task is create new feature. Set the snapping environment to align the new park boundary with existing parcel boundaries. Click editor and then click snapping. Check the box in the vertex column for the parcel_2 layer to snap the editing cursor to the vertices of the parcels. Click the create new feature tool to begin adding points. It is possible to use the pan and zoom tools as you digitize. The magnifier window may also be used. Click to add points beginning with the NE corner and select finish sketch when complete. Click the attributes button in the edior toolbar, change the name of the feature to "Homestead Historic" and select save edits. Remove historic.tif from the map. Merge the parcel layers Zoom to layer for parcel_2. Add parcel_1 to the map. Select the Geoprocessing wizard from the tools menu and choose merge layers. Set the output to be "parcel01mrg" in the Analysis folder and save the layer. Remove the parcel_1 and parcel_2 layers.

1.Select parcels outside res_park_flood Display the parcel01mrg layer. Choose Select By Location from the Selection menu. Select from the parcel01mrg layer those parcels that intersect the res_park_flood polygons. Right-click parcel01mrg and choose Switch Selection to invert the selection so that the selected parcels are those outside the res_park_flood areas. The selected parcels are those outside the flood zone and more than 150 m from a park or residential parcel. 2.Select parcels within the river and lowlands buffer Select from the currently selected parcels those that are within the acceptable region determined by elevation and proximity to the river. Use Select By Location to select from currently selected features in parcel01mrg those parcels that have their center in the low_river layer. 3.Select vacant parcels from the current selection The metadata indicates that vacant parcels may have any Landuse code from 700 through 799. Use Select By Attributes to select from the current selection in parcel01mrg. Construct the query "LANDUSE >= 700 AND LANDUSE <= 799". 4.Export the selected parcels Right-click parcel01mrg and choose Export Data under Data. Save the data as parcel_sel in Analysis. Add the layer to the map and Clear Selected Features.

4.Find parcels that are large enough Right-click the area field of parcel_sel and sort in descending order. The largest parcel is much less than the desired size, so a set of adjacent particles must be chosen. Since there is no single parcel large enough in the suitable area, a group of parcels must be selected. Using Select Feature various groups can be selected. The Statistics option found by right-clicking on the Area column of the attribute table will display the sum of the areas of the selected parcels. A group of foour parcels immediately west of the wastewater junction are large enough. It is also possible to investigate parcels that are large enough to determine why they are not acceptable. For example, use Select By Attributes to find all parcels with an area of at least 150,000 square meters. It might be useful to explain why any such parcels are not acceptable. Two of these parcels have no Landuse code. It is possible they are vacant but have not been coded as such. These two largest parcels, however, can be seen to be in the flood plain. The third largest parcel, which is vacant, lies mostly outside the river buffer - it is deemed to be too far from the river. However, it might still be a good site since it is a single parcel of land and is barely outside of the required distance. Create a layer containing this alternate site by by selecting the parcel and using the Create Layer From Selected Features option for the parcel01mrg layer.
