Topic: A favor. Can you get this to close?

[Maverick®]

Softplan is not a civil package.  But I do have to do site plans.  We have 5 lots in this subdivision that are pretty tight so I need to be fairly precise on the site plans.  So I got this plat from the developer and I cannot get it to close.  The street coming in on the north is almost 6' narrower than the dimension it says. 

My question is can one of you civil guys throw just the outline of the whole subdivision together once.  Just to see if you can make it close?  No individual lots.  If this thing is as wonky as I think it is... I'm going to have bigger fish to fry on some of these lots.

Thanks in advance for anything you can do.

The only thing I have is a BA image file here.....(2MB)

closes for me, you might want to double check my numbers though.

Does the lower left corner close for you?

I did find a screw up that softplan (couldn't be me    ) did.  That was the big one.

Thanks Mark!

Does the lower left corner close for you?

I would say yes.

Code: [Select]

N 52°23'5" E  0.0068 ft
here are the coords for the miss

Code: [Select]

N=5000.326 E=5000.329 (starting point)
N=5000.322 E=5000.324 (ending point)

C'mon Mav...how are we supposed to close on a jpg?
post the drawing...I may be able to help you then

Heh.  Thank you a ton Mark.  This saved me a field trip.

I don't deal in DWG's Alan.    I deal in .SPD   

Nawwww.  It worked out just fine.

just remember to color INSIDE the lines there Allen

Hi. Me again. The overall map worked out great after Mark's help. Now we are looking at buying some other lots and I am having trouble with two lot lines in particular.  If anyone has time could you see if these work out for you?

[Maverick®]

  To clarify a bit.  Using those numbers, I cannot get any kind of radius to fit even close on that street.  Now if one was to shift those 2 lots about 6 1/2' to the south............ a radius of about 86' works pretty well.

Sheet 2 may help to clarify it. But, based on this map alone, there are some strange things going on....must be that "new" math again.

I don't suppose there is any chance of contacting Surveyor Berg to get his input?

No calls have been returned.

  Errm.  I probably should white that out eh? 

The other part of it is that if indeed those lines are positioned wrong then we would have another 6 1/2' on the corner lot that we could use quite nicely.

Dagnabbit.

Thank you BTW.  I was hoping that it wasn't just me.

One other avenue to try.....Contact the County Surveyor or Village/City Engineer's office. That map is recent enough they may/should still have the file for it which should have the lot closure calcs. I know around here they keep that data for quite some time.

You're welcome. Good Luck!  Oh, what about that sheet 2?

[Maverick®]

That is the only sheet I have at this point.  I will have to check with the county or try to contact the original surveyor.

The complete copy of that plat should be on file in the plat records in the county Court House. Here the Chancery Clerk maintains the records. A little courthouse research is called for. I'm still trying to figure out how he got away with some of that stuff on the plat. Down here, the State Board of Registration would be calling him in.  Anyway, a complete curve data table SHOULD be on Page 2. I hope.
