@field-dog The design centerlines of course have to be tangent. It is no fun driving around non tangent curves. But there is no particular reason the...

It is certainly true that many ROW monuments where set by very imprecise methods, but since when has inpresision been a reason to reject "first" monum...

Monuments set under the direction of?ÿ DOT and relied on by land owners??ÿ

@jim-in-az The invisible centerline is pushed by DOT in many states. Of course we as professionals know better then to do something just becasue a go...

@williwaw In my experience, Alaska DOT&PF will back down when faced with a strongly opinionated surveyor or land owner that insists that they abi...

@scrim No one is is questioning the right of way , but rights of way are usually easments. Someone ownes the land burdened by the easment. It is shor...

@scrim Do you have an details you can share? Almost every state has case and/or statute law that requires an explicit exclusion to not transfer title...

@jph You are right, no deflection angles in the description, but there are also no bearings. Using angle rights or deflection angles were a way to ma...

@andy-j As a hint to show that your assumption is wrong, I am licenced in two States that are not part of the PLSS.?ÿ

@oldpacer I feel like I am on Facebook here. What am I not getting? As I said, if your clients want their improvements surveyed, of course you should...

@andy-j If there are no scale issues there would be no reason to take the boundary information off the plat that shows the improvements. But yes, tw...

@flga-2-2 I read through that. The only requirement that I see is a note that states improvement are not shown. Am I missing something??ÿ

@flga-2-2 I just looked through the Florida standards of practice for boundary surveys and don't see anything like that. Where is this legal requirem...

@flga-2-2 So if your clients only want to know where their exterior boundary is, you have to survey all the improvements? I find it ironic that peopl...
