Abstract

A system and method for determining the maximum building size that may be constructed on a real property parcel includes databases of applicable governmental regulations that affect building size within a specific locality, the size and location of the real property parcel, and specifically a means to determine slope analysis from digital terrain data of the specific real property. The system and method correlates the information from the databases and generates a report maximum building size construction planning.

Claims

1. A system for determining the maximum size building that may be constructed on a real property parcel, comprising:

a first database for storing applicable governmental regulations that affect building size within a specific locality;

a second database for storing information concerning digital topological data of real property within said specific locality; and

a means connected to said first and second databases for generating a report for a specific parcel of real property, said report including at least a calculation of the maximum size building that may be constructed on said specific parcel of real property, said calculation being based on information contained in said first and second databases.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said means connected to said first and second databases for generating a report is initiated by the parameters inputted by a user'"'"'s query to said system.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said report incorporates building codes and governmental regulations which are used to create plans for building a structure on said parcel, wherein said plans defining a structure with a size that is no larger than a maximum building size that may be built on said property.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said digital topological data is generated from digital terrain model data and said digital terrain model data being used to create a slope data table.

5. A method for determining the maximum size building that may be constructed on a real property parcel, comprising:

compiling a first database including applicable limitations that affect building size within a specific locality, said compiling step being accomplished by at least searching governmental codes and regulations;

compiling a second database including information concerning real property topological data, parcel area, and location within said locality, said compiling step receiving a query from a user, said query containing an identification of at least one specific parcel of real property, wherein information related to said specific parcel of real property is located within said second database;

preparing a report for said specific parcel of real property, said report including at least a calculation of the maximum size of a building that may be constructed on said parcel of real property, said preparing step being performed by combining information contained in said first database with information in said second databases.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of constructing a building in accordance with said plans.

7. The method of claim 5 further comprising the step of constructing an addition to an existing building on said parcel in accordance with said plans.

8. The method of claim 5 further comprising generating topological data from digital terrain model data to create a slope data table.

9. A method for constructing a building on a real property parcel, comprising:

compiling a first database including applicable limitations that affect building size within a specific locality, said compiling step being accomplished by at least searching governmental codes and regulations;

compiling a second database including information concerning real property topological data, parcel area and location with said locality, said compiling step;

receiving a query from a user, said query containing an identification of at least one specific parcel of real property, wherein information related to said specific parcel of real property is located within said second database;

preparing a report for said specific parcel of real property, said report including at least a slope band data table, a building data code table consistent with the slope band data table, and a calculation of the maximum size of a building that may be constructed on said parcel of real property, said preparing step being performed by combining information contained in said first database with information in said second databases;

utilizing said report to create plans for building a structure on said parcel, said plans defining a structure having a size that is no larger than a maximum size building that may be built on said property in accordance with building codes and governmental regulations; and

constructing said building in accordance with said plans.
