Building Footprint fixes based on OSE list (SOW task 2.1)

[danrademacher]

Task 2.1 Prescribed Footprint Corrections Description: Informed by OSE documentation, correct instances where property footprints are currently inaccurate. (e.g. multi-building properties represented by a single shape, shape is located in the wrong spot, shape is incomplete) There are an estimated 250 property footprints that require modification.

Mike shared a 200MB(!) Excel file. It is so large that Excel online will not load it, and Sharepoint doesn't have an easy method, on Mac anyway, to open a shared file with desktop Excel in a way that doesn't cause version control issues.

I copied the file here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Xr2P3XwoaEl61QEHZAsdoTY9eu5DJZ-J?rtpof=true&usp=drive_fs

There are already 375 issues logged here -- so 75 more than in the scope.

I wanted to see them all on a map so I ran this in CARTO using a filtered building list:

SELECT * FROM public.seattle_building_outlines_2022 where buildingid in (41,43,73,84,87,114,125,144,168,172,175,185,190,194,198,205,212,215,217,225,226,227,234,245,247,248,249,266,268,281,293,302,315,325,326,345,350,351,355,358,364,381,422,435,467,477,496,500,516,576,608,658,683,689,690,694,708,728,730,819,1281,19489,19510,19584,19694,19696,19704,19754,19777,19780,19788,19831,19847,19848,19849,19873,19925,19947,19990,19992,20027,20028,20045,20047,20052,20056,20082,20095,20100,20140,20187,20216,20217,20234,20241,20242,20321,20340,20367,20369,20456,20490,20522,20523,20526,20543,20585,20659,20686,20720,20762,20805,20810,20888,20930,21117,21122,21150,21196,21202,21215,21216,21218,21231,21310,21314,21335,21341,21382,21399,21401,21425,21432,21476,21533,21556,21557,21570,21604,21610,21616,21627,21692,21697,21745,21811,21941,22259,22261,22264,22299,22334,22504,22511,22607,22654,22739,22742,22801,22810,22863,22939,22941,22954,22964,23020,23028,23050,23074,23076,23173,23242,23265,23322,23323,23327,23400,23409,23484,23495,23496,23503,23554,23605,23615,23622,23632,23637,23639,23714,23730,23752,23846,23937,23956,24030,24036,24086,24150,24160,24161,24162,24179,24235,24248,24253,24306,24489,24494,24495,24496,24560,24562,24587,24599,24617,24645,24659,24750,24775,24854,24857,24934,24987,25053,25054,25129,25131,25241,25245,25251,25299,25360,25371,25410,25435,25527,25543,25652,25710,25761,25973,26007,26026,26040,26098,26150,26198,26283,26313,26450,26460,26558,26574,26729,26746,26748,26808,26821,26862,26880,27008,27071,27231,27241,27265,27300,27342,27343,27348,27389,27597,27600,27774,27799,27833,27888,27901,27903,27955,27970,27981,28006,28020,28025,28874,29069,29170,29310,29312,29550,29612,29792,30207,31187,32454,33527,37008,37248,39332,40388,40447,41068,41070,45287,48287,49699,49703,49704,49705,49709,49721,49722,49731,49735,49736,49737,49738,49771,49792,49797,49821,49825,49862,49889,49894,49911,49943,49945,49946,49967,49990,49996,49998,50002,50003,50005,50009,50023,50038,50049,50055,50067,50070,50101,50160,50175,50177,50180,50194,50245,50247,50259,50294,50309,50347,50376,50383,50385,50415,50416,50462,50481,50524,50642,50656,50693,50694,50704,50705,50710,50718,20066,103,400)

A bit surprised to see so many UW main campus buildings in there!

Mike says:

UW Campus record has many little weird shape nubs. And buildings aren't all 100% correct. There are some overlapping shapes and things that aren't actually buildings displaying. Compare to the UW Shapefile to remove miscellaneous nubs and correct shapes. -MR

The weird thing is that I am pretty sure we took these buildings from the UW shapefile!

[danrademacher]

See this old ticket where we did pull those from UW shp, though there were a lot of oddities and edge cases: https://github.com/GreenInfo-Network/seattle-building-dashboard/issues/86

[danrademacher]

The Images tab has very detailed hand drawn screenshots of what Mike wants to see. Wow, this work is going to be tedious. He really needs to learn GIS so instead of hand drawing this stuff and then giving it to us, he can just fix it! I think it might be about the same amount of work for him.

The Images tab has 178 building IDs. So not sure yet what's up there with 375 noted for edits in the main tab and 178 documented visually.

[danrademacher]

I spoke to Mike Roos and determined that the 178 building IDs in his screenshots tab are the ones we need to fix. The other tab also includes items we have fixed in the past.

Among the challenges are that his screenshot tab is impossible to open in Sheets and hard to track and manage generally, especially relative to the process outlined at https://github.com/GreenInfo-Network/seattle-building-dashboard/blob/master/documentation/Building_outlines.md

Probably the best thing would be to make a new, concise list of the IDs he wants to change, then characterize the changes as Replacements, Additions, or Deletions.

But given the detail of his instructions, we might need to just digitize all these changes rather than trying to grab things from the open data footprints (P:\proj_p_s\Seattle Building Dashboard\2023 update\Building_Outline_2015). Though one could load the 2015 data as reference and pull in relevant footprints when they better align with Mike's requests. My hunch though is we're no in places where the old outlines are just incorrect and we need to hand edit the data to better match reality.

Brought down latest footprint from CARTO data here: P:\proj_p_s\Seattle Building Dashboard\2024_update
