[WXBH-Discuss] heres the update about buildings from the architect for brycc

[radical eclectic]

I had a chance to talk with Jane Poole at Lojic and she said that they 
do have mapping of all building heights for all of Jefferson County.  
The building heights are measured in feet above sea level, which is 
probably perfect for you guys.  This means that you  won't see the 
actual height of a building, but you will know how high it is in the 
landscape.  A shorter building on a tall hill might be higher (which is 
your real concern) than a tall building down in a valley, for example.

Anyway, Lojic charges $75 for an information dump like the one you are 
looking for if you are a non-commercial enterprise.  However, if you 
can get a Metro Louisville official to say that the work is being done 
for them, then you can get it free.  The easiest avenue is probably to 
work through Tom Owen's office, or if you have a connection another 
councilperson, that would be good. You will need for them to make the 
request to Lojic with the actual description of what you need.  It 
might be good if you can get the data in a "dxf" format as well as a 
print-out, so that it is useable in Autocad.  I can give you more info 
if you have someone to work through.

So, good news, we just need to find a way to get it for free!  (You 
should check with your radio folks to make sure the "sea-level" heights 
will work, and what the radius of the survey needs to be.
