There are some odd regulations.?ÿ

One I forgot about showed up recently.?ÿ

For some reason a county has a subdivision naming convention for Lots/Tracts.?ÿ

Over a certain size they are to be called Tracts, smaller than the size they are to be called Lots. It hasn't come up yet when they are mixed, but that may throw the regulators into an infinite loop.?ÿ

I forgot about it recently and turned in a preliminary plat with numbered Tracts,,,,a no-no.

But it begs the question what happens when there are more than 26 tracts?

Tract A-1, Tract Aa, Tract AA?

I've had that issue with a industrial/commercial park I worked on and yes after Tract Z came Tract AA

Yep! They put it in the subdivision regulations. If you mis-name the Tracts you then have to apply for a variance which means time and money.

Before i was licensed I worked on the last phase (five plats) of a huge subdivision. The local convention was to label open space (landscaping buffers, playground, parks, community amenities, stormwater management areas, etc.) as Outlots.?ÿ Outlot A thru Outlot Z; then AA-ZZ, and so on.

So, given that this was the last phase of the project, and there were a lot of open spaces parcels, I decided to break the naming convention after Outlot KKJ.?ÿ?ÿ

@mightymoe?ÿ

funny how the terms of the profession of survey seem to be controlled by people that usually dont or never have done the work.

why havent they made conventions on dipping sanitary sewer manholes....

thats called a rhetorical ellipsis...
