This training is most helpful to newly appointed or elected Land Use Commissioners. It will cover 2.5 general commissioner training hours under the CGS 8-4c (Fair and Affordable Housing hour will NOT be covered).
Description:
The first session will focus on “Fundamentals of Site Plan Reading.” This training is recommended for Land Use Commissioners with no prior experience in site plan reading. The class will assist commissioners in developing essential plan reading skills, including the comprehension of scale, topography, hydrology, and stormwater. The session will utilize practical exercises involving real-world site plans, enabling participants to translate plan information into practical ground-level observations.
The second session will introduce and demonstrate CT ECO (https://cteco.uconn.edu/), an interactive online map viewer. The Advanced Map Viewer will be the primary focus of this demonstration. The presentation will guide participants through locating parcels or areas of interest and highlighting relevant data layers. It will also provide hands-on guidance on utilizing the viewers effectively.
Complimentary breakfast included. Cost $30
