And I are one...........
We have one local Register of Deeds who has decided she must review every survey that comes to her office to be filed despite the fact that it has already been reviewed by another licensed land surveyor for technical issues.?ÿ She will nitpick the most minute items imaginable so as to have an excuse to refuse them until they are corrected to her satisfaction.?ÿ As she is an elected official there appears to be no one who has the authority to step in and force her to stop.
Two recent examples:?ÿ In the first situation the survey plat showed all the critical data.?ÿ Several streets in the neighborhood were shown, including some beyond the surveyed tract but along which a survey monument had been found.?ÿ The street name on the official plat of the old addition to town was misspelled to read Holburt when the intended name was Holbort.?ÿ The plat identified that extraneous street as Holburt, which she knew should be Holbort, so she rejected the plat.?ÿ ( The town had been named for Mrs. Holbort,using her first name)?ÿ In the second situation the name of the client was listed.?ÿ There was also a reference to the deed for when the property was transferred to the client and current owner.?ÿ When she pulled up the deed she discovered that it listed the client (owner) as Dominquez but the name mentioned on the plat said Dominguez.?ÿ As it really isn't necessary to even provide the name of the client in the first place on the plat this was overkill.?ÿ If the client had been a new buyer and that name listed it would not have been a problem.?ÿ If the client had been some other party connected with a transaction there would have been no problem.
These were not my surveys but surveys that I had reviewed for technical issues.?ÿ I had noticed the Holburt/Holbort typo but chose to ignore it.?ÿ I had not looked at the deed in the second situation so that one came as a surprise.
Some little people think they get bigger by berating others at all times.
(BTW, who first used rassenfrassen here??ÿ I like it.)
If the information that??s shown, wether required or not, is incorrect I don??t think she??s berating anyone, just doing her job correctly.
Did I miss something? ?????ÿ
I would be thankful for someone pointing out an error prior to recording.
wether
Information on a document should be as correct as possible.?ÿ It does seem she is going beyond what the job description in many places would entail.
Spelling police: it's whether, not wether.?ÿ A wether is a castrated sheep.
Perfection is a great ideal.?ÿ It almost never happens.?ÿ Somewhere on a plat there is a case of the shorthand version of seconds missing on a bearing.?ÿ 1000 people look at the numbers and fail to notice the missing seconds symbol.?ÿ All 1000 know it is supposed to be there whether (wether/weather) we see it or not.?ÿ That does not make the plat unrecordable.
The same plat could show parallel sides of a tract each being precisely 180.00 feet in length.?ÿ Great.?ÿ They agree.?ÿ The problem is they are actually 190.00 feet in length.?ÿ Little Ms. Holburt/Holbort would record the erroneous document.
me too! I will admit I rarely think about castrated sheepes. ????
Sounds to me you got the hots for ?? Little Ms. Holburt/Holbort?. ?????ÿ
Starting to think I should establish residency in that County then run for Register of Deeds.
@holy-cow You would have to take a pay cut, but the pension plan would be great.
I was doing a small bridge stakeout for a contractor and they needed a detour sketched up to get their plan approved. I’ve known the resident engineer for the state since 1st grade, so asked him for the details they wanted. He told me, then said to leave some obvious error on it because whoever reviewed them always had to find something, then you could get by with some less obvious shortcuts.
I have done that very thing many times to slide stuff by municipal engineers who like to have a long list of comments/corrections to prove they're earning their retainers.
In one town I used to work in the engineer routinely charged the developers more for review than our fee to prepare the plans. Don't work there anymore.
The term "rassen frassen" was first uttered by none other than Yosemite Sam. The hootin'est, tootin'est, shootin'est, bob-tail wildcat, in the west!?ÿ
I tell you what. I've got reviewers coming out of the woodwork these days. I wrote a legal 2 weeks ago and titled the thing "Exhibit A - Retaining Wall and Sidewalk Easement".
The title company officer preparing the deed asked me to remove?ÿ "Retaining Wall and Sidewalk Easement", thinking that there was a potential for confusion. OK, I did it.?ÿ
Friday afternoon the thing comes back, reviewed by the city. Please add the title "Retaining Wall and Sidewalk Easement". Sighhhh....
But the joke's on them.?ÿ They did not comment that the scale bar was 1"=10' when it should have been 1"=40', or that I had labelled the NW corner of the parcel as NE.?ÿ
