Why me
In 2012 I had a small job in this subdivision to stake some ROW for my client and when I remember well looking at the plat and cringing when I saw who had done it. I had a baaad feeling because of past experiences retracing this guy’s work. 1971 plat, all hub and tac. Sure enough I couldn’t find a trace of anything remotely original. Over the years it seems every surveyor to ever set foot in this neck of the woods at taken a swipe at one lot survey or another and I was finding corners 20′-30′ out from where I had computed them. Finally found two that matched record within a couple feet and held my nose and put some wood in the ground. I quietly prayed I’d never have to go back….
Fast forward, half the utility poles in this area don’t meet spec for clearances and have to be changed out. Permit requires that that they are all located and their precise position in relation to any relevant easements and rights of way be documented.
This should be fun. Welcome to ‘No Buena Vista Subd.’
