Developers who obtain a constraints analysis on land they are considering, before the SEQRA process begins, can greatly increase the speed and efficiency of your Planning Board.

Traditionally, determining land constraints occurs after the conceptual meeting and sketch plan submission. But without objective knowledge, the subsequent decision-making process can be both lengthy and inefficient.

Now, however, the Rafter F™ LAAST™ provides a powerful new tool that can present the key constraints on land. Requiring developers to use this diagnostic analysis tool can allow accurate presentation of how much of the land they are considering is truly developable, and how much (and where) of it should be preserved, before beginning the SEQRA process.  This graphic color presentation allows for immediate recognition of the project by all Board members, relieving the difficulty of reading complex black and white site drawings.  When presented at the concept stage the entire community can easily access the desirability of the project.

Offered by the Rafter F™ Corporation, the proprietary Land Asset Acquisition Screening Tool™ (LAAST™) can also help your town determine what areas are developable and what space it might wish to preserve. As a result, your town can achieve its comprehensive plan faster and more efficiently.
