Grid/Ground Madness

allen-wrench · 2016-08-11T20:19:00Z

I goofed up a bit (or maybe not at all depending on your viewpoint). I did a series of Auditor's Lot plats with all the field work being in unmodified state plane grid. The general practice in this state is to take the grid and apply a DOT scale factor to give you ground coordinates & distances. That's the only modification. I drew up the surveys for recording, got to the end, and realized all my drawings and comps are straight SP Grid. I put a very clear note of this on the drawings and said something like "distances shown are grid distances" and "bearings are referenced to state plane grid north, etc.". So that everyone knows how I did it and the conversion factors.Now, after I realize my goof, and having recorded a couple surveys showing GRID measurements, I'm doing another one in the same area, but not adjoining the other ones I did. Is it worthwhile to convert my base map for those 6 sections so that everything can be shown in ground distances? Is it even a big deal that everything is shown in grid distances considering I clearly state what the distances are on the face of the survey, which will be recorded? Outside opinions needed.

Basically a certificate of survey for an "irregular" tract - such as a metes and bounds parcel taken out of a quarter. It's plat is filed and given some sort of number to make it easily identifiable, without having to quote a lengthy legal description every time you talk about that parcel.
