My Sr, Survey Tech came to me today with a copy of a 1928 filed plan he was working off to plot two lots that we are surveying and it's a head scratcher. There are two lots composed of 10 deep and narrow lots each, all of them fronting a curved dedicated ROW.
The filed plan has absolutely no curve information and any given dimensions are very few but all noted as +/-, while the undermentioned depths of each 20' +/- plan lots that make up the two current day lots are not dimensioned and there is not a bearing to be found anywhere on the plan. Adding to the puzzle is that every deed on the block and the surrounding blocks all simply reference the filed plan with no deed descriptions shown.
The situation noted above is not uncommon in this area but is rare, and to add to the lack of information noted above, none of the plan monuments appear to have been set and it's sparsely developed area.
The Tech is currently taking the courses to work towards his licensure. His initial statement was that we can't do this survey and he was puzzled when I looked at him and laughed. Recreating the wheel is going to be an interesting learning process for him. I'll be running the resolution and let him do the calcs. I have a feeling that he will be as bald as my by the time we are done and I shave my head. LOL!
I love these mentoring opportunities, they are the best part of my job!
