Digest of Oregon Revised Statutes Related to Land Surveying

Hi @norman-oklahoma,

That's a great list!?ÿ Do you compile these from the legislature for $5 a chapter??ÿ I've asked PLSO to do that, specifically targeting people studying for the exam.?ÿ I like the more compact formal format than printing from the web which wastes a lot of paper space and doesn't look as nice or as professional.?ÿ 41 and 42 were new to me, thanks for that!?ÿ

?ÿ

I maintain another list, but it is only the Chapters and Titles, not the contents of those.?ÿ It's what I look at for ideas when stumped.?ÿ Now that I write out the difference and check some things, maybe "maintain" is the wrong word for what I do.?ÿ This is an old list that I sometimes reference. I should read over each chapter every two years to keep things fresh and notice changes.?ÿ

?ÿ

To your list I would add:

94 Real Property Development

164 (164.255 amends railroad property trespass)

191 United States Surveys

204 County Officers

223 Local Improvements and Works Generally (223.930-223.950 Legalization of Roads-city)

227 City Planning and Zoning

271 Use and Disposition of Public Lands Generally; Easements

273 State Lands Generally (and swamps)

368 County Roads

369 Ways of Public Easement

537 Appropriation of Water Generally

538 Withdrawal of Water from Appropriation

540 Distribution of Water; Watermasters; Change in Use; Transfer of Abandonment of Water Rights

541 Miscellaneous Water Rights

757 Utility Regulation Generally (hmm, not sure why I have that and not 772.010?)

?ÿ

?ÿ

I also augment my chapter titles like: CHAPTER 93 ƒ?? CONVEYANCING AND RECORDING (Oregon Coordinate Systems), CHAPTER 390 ƒ?? STATE AND LOCAL PARKS; RECREATION PROGRAMS; SCENIC WATERWAYS; RECREATION TRAILS (Vegetation line defined NAD27), etc.?ÿ

?ÿ

Best regards, Eli

And 366 State Highways and State Highway Fund

All this text is on-line. No charge. I have to go through it every 2 years looking for revisions.

757 is probably there due to the Oregon Utility Notification Center.

I'll look all these over. I see at least a few that are worthy of consideration. My gut reaction is that many of these would be appropriate in a whole separate document "of interest to Planners"?ÿ

@norman-oklahoma

I usually get the current text from here, https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/Pages/ORS.aspx which lacks decent formatting.  Is this where you get your text?  Your formatting and presentation is very nice but it probably takes some work to get it that way. 

The archives have a much better formatting here, https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/Pages/ORSarchive.aspx.

Current year with nicer formatting in PDF (or .docx as well, I think) is $5/chapter, https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/lc/Order%20Forms/Chapters.pdf

Thanks for the 757 reminder (I guess I need to add another parenthetical to the chapter names)

@protracted

That first link is the one. I do a "find" for the most recent legislative year to determine which passages have been amended. I then spend some time formatting. Each biannual update of my document takes a few hours.

OARs can change at any time, and frequently do. So the search for amendments has to be more detailed.  

@norman-oklahoma

I look for changes from each session in the PDFs under the "Comparative Section Table" heading, like https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/2017.pdf

OARs are much easier to change and can be convenient and less risky than putting the same things in ORS, however, I find that the historical tracking of OARs is much more difficult than ORS.  I'm only luke-warm on the coordinate system details being shuffled over to the OARs.  They certainly are easier to maintain as OARs!

@wendell i can’t access the attachment.  Various cloudflare 502 bad gateway or (I think) ssl errors.  Both Firefox and safari.  

Could it be that the file is too large?

I've tried recreating the pdf and reducing its file size. Its not a large file. When I try to download my own file I get this error message:

I'm not able to download this for some reason. If you are also having trouble, and would like a copy, send me a PM with your email and I'll hook you up.  

@norman-oklahoma Per this thread, I think it was a server issue when the files were being uploaded, which caused them to become corrupted. However, I haven't had any feedback since then, so I'm hoping we took care of it. You still wouldn't be able to download files that were uploaded during that time though.
