This is the line data from a subdivision plat.

I surveyed the lot had T50 in it's boundary. Sure enough, there were two nails in the driveway 0.20' apart.

But looking at T-51, isn't it a point on line of some sort? Was there a PC/PT/street angle nearby?

Got to be an intersection point or something similar, right?
T-51 has the same bearing.

neat! my cousin sent me a pic from NYC once of a tiny triangle of land that was somehow marked out in the sidewalk.

No, it's not a tiny lot, it's a tiny line on a regular sized lot.

T-51 is where lots 57, 58 and the right of way intersect. Would have made more sense to move that property line over 0.20', I think ... LOL.

Well, those flag lots got to have a minimum width on the panhandle. 0.20' short of the required width is not sufficient.

Could have been an square footage thing too. But, who knows.

Lucy ? ''Splain That 24' From Centerline.''

I ain't never heard of a 48' R.O.W.

49.5' is quite common (a 3 rod road).

Uhm, Andy, I'm glad you posted that. I was about to and noticed that Lot 56 only has 20' of road frontage. 🙂

Looks to be a private road/drive/access of some kind. I've seen 23' private. I've seen 37' private.

See Detail H at the upper left of this sheet. 0.08' jog in the I-10 RW in San Bernardino. It is mapped like that on the original RW maps as well.

BTW, Did You Resection In Off Those Two Nails ?

If so what was your precision?

1:5 perhaps?

Yeah, it's a private right of way that serves a couple of lots off the main road through the neighborhood ... and it's not 24' from center, it's 24' total width (12' from center).

It looks to me like it's 25' wide.

The angle of the dangle might have an effect there, thus the need for the additional 3.20 feet. Please don't make me get all OCD and deedsketch the plat on a Friday afternoon. 🙂

Look at the bright side, You found Nails!

This is where I was Wednesday. Sorry the poor image, but yes that says 3 INCHES from the SW Block corner to the SW corner of Lot 20. Yes, that also says 1892. [sarcasm]3 inches, really mister surveyor? your plat does not close by 9 FEET and I cannot find any of those stones you set.[/sarcasm]
