Parcel Conversion and GIS Consulting Projects

Kinetic Solutions converted Franklin County's1210 cadastral maps, which were being maintained using "pen and ink" on Mylar, to an ESRI geodatabase. In addition, Kinetic Solutions scanned and georeferenced the county's 1100 aerial photographs, which are being used until the county acquires new digital orthophotos. Franklin County, MO is located just west of St. Louis encompassing approximately 923 square miles with 65,000 parcels.

The long-range goal for Franklin County is to implement an enterprise GIS incorporating data from multiple departments. Kinetic Solutions began its relationship with the County through the Parcel Conversion Project. As the project progressed, the relationship expanded to include GIS consulting and software procurement to help them succeed in their enterprise GIS endeavor. Additionally, Kinetic Solutions designed applications to automate repetitive tasks related to map maintenance (ie, splits, joins).

Parcel Mapping Application

Kinetic Solutions also developed an ArcMap application that serves as a standard map production tool for the County.  This tool generates maps based on a map grid, and also includes an index of street names.  In addition, an Internet parcel map application (Personal Property Map) was developed in ArcIMS that allows users to search parcels by owner or APN and produces prints in various sizes and formats.
