Not referring to rodeos and bull riders.
At least four surveyors have followed the work of the subdivision creator with no problem. ?ÿLots are lots and simple things such as easements can sometimes simply be identified as easily as "the east 20 feet of Lot 3". ?ÿNot good enough for surveyor number six to arrive on the scene. He feels he must compose a 200 word metes and bounds description that rotates the historical bearings by eight seconds clockwise while creating a simple uniform width easement. ?ÿThe relative angles remain identical at all corners, to the nearest second. ?ÿThe world, however, seems to have slipped by eight seconds. ?ÿThe issue for me is that all measurements are identical to the record measurements that are provided to the nearest one-hundredth of a foot and the longest measurement involved is less than 150 feet. ?ÿThus, that supposed eight second rotation is asinine. ?ÿPerhaps it is company policy to always report bearings insignificantly varying from record to pretend they are performing some type of superior service. ?ÿIt's no wonder non-surveyors distrust our profession.
Surveyor number six is an idiot.
Any educated surveyor would be celebrating with a smooth splash of something aged, especially in finding an 8 second difference along a 150ft span and not having everyone else be subject to anything less tasteful.
Might be a CAD mistake.?ÿ Clicked on the something just off the point node maybe, then rotated everything about that, and never noticed.?ÿ I've seen much worse and offensive things in my survey life.
But, he's an expert measurer and could determine that the previous 5 surveyors missed the 0.006' in their observations. ??ÿ

Surveyor #6's prior career was making Swiss watches. And prior to that, employed with a piano manufacturer. Or at least it seems so...

The only superior evidence is that which you haven't yet found.
Devils advocate:
Sounds like the cad tech/resolution was out of rotation and it went overlooked.
The draft plot could have been fine and the job could have been rotated accidentally which updated the bearing labels. The signing surveyor may have not noticed because the bearings were fine on the check print.
I've seen it happen more than once.
However, some surveyors insist on burning gps points and "updating" bearing bases to coincide with the spcs.
