So, you think your “routine” data edits aren’t that important? Think again! Back in January, I was asked by our Planning Department staff to correct an error that was introduced when our zoning district boundaries were first digitized nearly 12 years ago… And thus began a legal battle that likely won’t be resolved until sometime in 2015.
Full details of the situation are available here: http://wellesley.wickedlocal.com/article/20140508/NEWS/140506614
Just curious… Anyone else have a similar story to share about an edit to data or maps that are considered “legal instruments” like our Zoning Map? How was your issue resolved?
Cheers,
Brian
