Plan Reading and Analysis Workshop

Plan Reading and Analysis Workshop

Presented by Sylvia von Aulock, Executive Director (Retired), Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission

Space is limited so sign up now and join us for this fun and informative event!

Are you a planner who could use a brush up on reading or analyzing site and subdivision plans? Don’t panic! This workshop will help you learn to do just that. You will review a variety of plan types including existing conditions, grading and drainage, road profiles, and landscape plans.

During the first half of the workshop, Sylvia will cover basic terms and plan types and take you on a virtual tour to discuss site development elements on a variety of properties.

In the second half, you will work with actual engineering plans, learn a step-by-step process for highlighting important information, and analyze the results as your plan “comes alive” with color. By the end of the workshop, you will have a solid understanding of how to make plans more “readable,” how to analyze complex visual information, and how to use highlighted plans as a tool for discussion with developers.
