Question 1:?ÿ
While preparing to conduct a lot survey for a customer I pulled the subdivision plat.?ÿ Nothing out of the ordinary.?ÿ However, I see an abbreviation on the plat that is not noted or referenced in the legend.?ÿ ?ÿThe abbreviation is S.T. and it has me slightly puzzled.?ÿ I've attached a pic with the notation circled in red.?ÿ Any ideas?
Question 2:
While out working on this survey, my TS keeps throwing a "communication error".?ÿ ?ÿI'm using a Trimble 5600 with a TSC2 running Access 2015 with a cabled connection.?ÿ ?ÿI power up, level it using the digital bubble, and then the comm error.?ÿ The technician who serviced the equipment (exactly 1 year ago) says that it sounds like a bad hirose cable. So, is there a "smarter way" of testing one of these cables besides the ole "Bad Christmas light method"??ÿ To me, this question is more pressing than the first.?ÿ Without my gun working, I'm dead in the water.
I would guess Sight Triangle.?ÿ
So what's the angle of the dangle??ÿ You know, where does the sight triangle end.?ÿ You can see where it starts but that's only half the data needed.
Thank you sir!?ÿ ?ÿ Doesnt it seem a little weird to have a site triangle on a very small, golfing community road that ends in a cul-de-sac??ÿ
Great point.?ÿ But it's a subdivision plat of a golfing community laid out in rural NC in 1989.?ÿ ?ÿI must admit, I've see worse.
Yes, but sometimes things don't make sense. Especially when considering governmental entities.?ÿ It was also just a guess, it could be something else.?ÿ
Wait a minute!! They allow pasture pool in your state????ÿ I thought it was either flat and marshy or steep and rocky with no in-between.
@holy-cow
There isn't any in-between!?ÿ ?ÿIt's simply "Swampy" Pasture Pool ... with snakes, skeeters, and gators.
?ÿ
Dang.?ÿ We like to throw in surface limestone bedrock in places so that if the ball happens to hit that little bare patch out there it will bounce 300 feet in "some" direction before hitting a grassy surface.?ÿ The 14" diameter by 4" high platters of defecatory material add a special element of home course advantage depending on the duration of time since the creation of said platter of material by the wandering quadruped. ???? ?????ÿ
@firestix you??re in NC I believe. NCDOT requires 10x70 sight triangle easements at all intersections typically within subdivisions. NCDOT has a manual for minimum design criteria on subdivisions that??ll be super helpful to any surveyor dealing with residential stuff here
Know nothing about NC, but was that NCDOT policy in existence in 1989 and would it be directly applicable to a side street in a subdivision.?ÿ Or would it just be something to emulate as being a good idea?
Yes - but there was probably some sort of government involved...
Maybe St means street.
Like "Rodeo St."
Or Golf Lane
Sight Triangle is a better answer, but that was already taken.

@holy-cow so each division seems to vary on this & it's ultimately up to the division engineer (there's 10 divisions across NC & each has their own design criteria as things such as terrain conditions from the coast to the mountains as well as whether it's an addition on to an existing subdivision will dictate). I had a very long/annoyed rant that I had typed up but since I'm a PE and have to deal with all these agencies fairly frequently during development I'll suffice it to say that you find something new to amaze you each day when it comes to our regulatory agencies' rules (NCDOT, NCDEQ - all divisions, USACE for wetlands, etc.)
Those are NCDOT secondary roads. It doesn't matter if the road ends in a pig farm. 10x70 site triangles are required at intersections.
