Clarify Terminology For Me

When a member of the general public, posts a plat, they are doing what they should have complete liberty to do.
And, nothing said about it.

Hi Billy,
I am needing the gps coordinates for my land that you did survey for please.

Information of lots:
Parcel # listed on both is
70358650 for U
nit 07 block 010 lot 001
for 5-acres
Unit 07 block 010 lot 016
for 5-acres

I would appreciate all the information I can get on these 2 5-acres sections of land.
Please email me if you would so I have the correct coordinates of the properties to find the metal pegs.

I need information asap as we are making a trip that direction on Friday.

Thank you for you help.

Just wanted to check to see if got all the information to get gps information?

I did get the information, I actually stopped by the site an took a quick look. I have not done anything in this particular location. I can recover and verify the original corners but it costs $400 for the first lot and an extra $150 for the second. If I can not find the original corners and I have to set monuments, I am required by law to record a Survey Plat. The cost will be $1400 for both lots. I usually find the rear lots but the fronts can sometimes be destroyed by road blading or when the fiber optics was placed along the roads.
My advice is to attempt to locate the corners first and then go from there if the recovery does not go well. If a survey is required of course I will deduct the $550 from the $1400. I mark all found or set corners with a 4' rebar and set a PVC pipe over it to write on.

P.S. GPS coordinates will do little good since they are usually autonomous positions +- 10-15 feet.

Do you know who should have the original information? Who I should be checking with?

The original information is the subdivision plat. This plat was done in the seventies, way before GPS was used.

How do you use a plat in marking out lot for a fence?

The plat has the lot dimensions and bearings, you must recover an existing corner to start from, then measure from that corner to look for the next and so on for each corner. If a corner is not found or destroyed then you need to continue down each line in both directions until you find enough corners to proportion the missing corner to be set. You can not set an actual monument because that is breaking the law. Surveying is a regulated profession.

Ok where do I get plat measurements? From who?

The county clerk and recorder, They have a 4 day work week and are closed on Fridays.

Ok thank you

I wonder if he does this with his dentist, doctor, attorney, etc. And I wonder if they respond?

Interesting "disclaimer" in the lower left corner.

I would respectfully disagree if it was not public record. What evidence presented here declares it is a plat of public record?
2nd, this is a private forum and posters should show rules of professional courtesy. If the title company and/or wanted the plat published online, they should have been notified.
3rd: AsI stated in my post that for the sake of the simple discussion of the OP, a simple masking or redactions of the surveyor would have been appropriate.

I saw that and envisioned attorneys getting in a feeding frenzy.

I don't see any indication that this plat is public record. There is no instrument filing or recording data info on the face of it.
There is a Certificate of Deposit statement to the county that is blank,unsigned and undated.
I don't know bupkis about CO surveying so I can't comment on this plat being public or official record document.

This plat is clearly the document that is presented to the clerk for filing, I always hate to have one of those out in public, I want the signed copy from the clerk to be passed around.

Lot of set monuments and not a lot of founds.:confused:. And that Disclaimer... This map must be all part of a bigger picture here.
