UConn CLEAR will host an in-person Land Use Commissioner training session on Friday, April 11, 2025, at UConn's Middlesex County Extension Center located at 1066 Saybrook Road, Haddam, CT, 06438.
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.
