:good:
I'd mutter something about firing that dad-blamed draftsman and promise to get to the bottom of this foul up right away. Then I'd put the phone down and kick myself in the rear.
Then I'd edit everything to read 20.00 acres. No need to change any other dimensions.
Lot acreage must be shown to 3 decimal places around here and if your lot is 19.999 acres and 20 is required your lot is non-conforming. Stupid, I know...but around here and I'm sure elsewhere...that's the way it is.
In my opinion
The biggest issue here is that you, as the surveyor, did not pay any attention to the needs of the client and simply did something that was maybe close to what was needed. If the client says he wants it to be 20 acres he means 20 acres-----not 19.999 or 20.001. If you can't do that-----get the heck out of this business and go back to delivering pizzas for a living like 80 percent of your fellow alumni from Dumbbutt U.
Furthermore, if I have a client that tells me he wants the tract to be a rectangle and of certain dimensions, that is what he is going to get if at all possible. It will not be some number plus or minus 0.01 feet for each side and anything other than nineties at the corners (None of this 89 deg. 59 min. 58 sec. foolishness in a line that is only 120 feet long).
In my opinion
I think the pizza guy makes more money than me anyway. 🙂

Fine, then I'd have shown it as 20.000 and not worried about it.
Acreage to three decimals is very stupid.
In my opinion
Acreage is two places period....20.00 Acres.
