Pre-Draw Checklist

The legal description matches between the property card, deed, and plat. The aerial appears to match the legal description. The address provided by the client matches the property card (or the parcel ID number). If a conflict arises, notify a higher-up. If a conflict arises, notify a higher-up.

Save the drawing file into the root directory of the project with one of the following formats:

Draw the boundary of the subject lot per plat dimensions. Annotate the boundary either using the "clockwise" method or dimensions per the plat. DO NOT attempt to pre-place the lot. Draft the centerline of the road to the intersections both ways.

Add line work for every easement shown on the plat. Include easements shown in a typical detail, described in the dedication, and shown on the lot specifically. Label each easement with its width and purpose. A typical width and description can be used if all sides are the same.

Add two (2) dimensions, one from each property corner, to the centerline of the right-of-way. Ensure the accuracy is showing two (2) decimal places.

Each road directly adjacent to the parcel has: the road name (if the road name is different from the plat, make the current road name large), plat name (if applicable), and a line containing the width of the right-of-way. Draw the entire right-of-way centerline from intersection to intersection or intersection to cul-de-sac termination.

Draw at least two adjacent lots left and right and at least one lot behind the subject lot. List the lot number and whether the lot is improved, vacant, or the FFE of the building (depending on available information).

Fill out the legal description verbatim with the latest deed.

Fill out with the client name. If we have additional certifications, they will also go under this heading.

The property address is added to the survey. If there is no street number available, add the parcel ID number or alternate key (ALTKEY) above the street name.

If the lot size is less than 21,780 square feet (0.5 acres), put the square footage of the lot. If the lot is at or above 21,780 square feet (0.5 acres), put the acreage to the third decimal place. We do not put both areas.

Fill out the missing information in the FEMA note; including the map and panel number, jurisdiction, effective date, and flood zone(s). If the property lies in a "AE" zone, post the elevation.

Fill out the three missing FPRN CORS stations with the three nearest to the property.
