A lot of confusion can be prevented by setting monuments with caps that explain what they are. Saving a dollar or two a corner by setting plastic caps?ÿ or tags isn't worth it.

But I agree, not all easements need to be monumented.?ÿ

Said another way.. Facilities owned by a utility or serving other properties should be covered by an easement.
@bstrand you would need to do a minor subdivision in my state to accomplish this.
Calling to the center of the drive creates confusion down the road and leads to ambiguity when the road is no longer in the same location. There is nothing more stressful as a surveyor when you cannot recreate the intention of the document.
The best course of action IMHO is to use the center of the drive as a baseline with an easement width that accommodates the entire drive. Tie it down to the boundary. Let the bearings and distances?ÿ the with calls to division lines where applicable be the calls. The language of the easement may require the drive to be replaced in its original location for the easement to remain valid anyway. That will be a thing for the lawyers to work out.
Unless of course your state board or client requests control to be set.
?ÿAlso, are there any utilities running through your property to the other PQ in question? That is very important to address as well.
