SURVEYOR'S REPORT The topographic data was gathered using survey grade GPS and standard radial surveying techniques with an electronic instrument with data collector. Elevations on hard surfaces or structures are accurate to within 0.05 feet; elevations on natural surfaces are accurate to within 0.1 feet on the date on which the elevations were obtained; however, changes in elevations can occur due to soils swell and subsidence, freeze thaw cycles, and wind and water erosion. The magnitude of these changes depends upon soils types, seasonal changes, and the frequency and intensity of wind, rain, and snow events. It is recommended that if the topographic data is to be used for planning or design purposes that a check of elevations be performed prior to any construction activity. Contours are plotted based upon interpolation of the spot elevations shown hereon and are generally accurate to within one-half of the contour interval depicted. The following paragraphs are observations and opinions regarding the uncertainties in the locations of monuments both found and set, record documents and the deed lines as established or reestablished by this survey, and as introduced by probable random errors in the measurements made due to the instrumentation and techniques employed (relative positional accuracy). The survey may show differences between the deed (D) and measured (M) dimensions along the deed lines. There may be differences between lines of occupation (possession) and the deed lines as shown on this survey. MONUMENTS Monuments were set or found during the course of this survey, those set in the ground are 5/8" rebar with yellow plastic caps stamped "WEIHE ENGR 0012", unless otherwise noted. Monuments set in hard surfaced areas, such as asphalt, are as indicated on the drawing and have a washer stamped "WEIHE ENGR 0012" where possible. There may be 5/8" rebar with red plastic caps stamped "TRAVERSE", wooden stakes, or spike nails found on or near the subject real estate. These are working points and should not be confused with monuments marking the boundaries of the subject property. Monuments found at or near the deed corners, or along the deed lines of the subject real estate are indicated on the drawing. Because the difference is deemed insignificant, monuments were not set in those cases where a found monument was not in exact agreement with this survey, but within the tolerances required for a certain Class of survey. The difference may be shown on the survey to accentuate the uncertainty of that monument. In those cases where the difference is greater than the relative positional accuracy or uncertainty in controlling monuments, caution should be exercised before making any improvements along the lines affected. Those uncertainties considered to be significant are discussed below. The monuments established at the corners of the subject real estate are within the acceptable relative positional specifications for an Urban Survey, 0.07 feet + 50 ppm as defined in 865 IAC 1-12-7. All quarter corner and sixteenth corner monuments in this quarter section have been obliterated due to reconstruction of the surrounding road ways or construction activities related to the development of area subdivisions. Excavating the locations of the corners would be a futile endeavor because said construction activities disturbed the land and road beds deep enough that any monuments would have been removed. Rather than rely on some mathematical solution to reestablish the obliterated corners, where the math solution would surely disagree with existing property lines and other monuments, I retraced previous surveys and plat work to reestablish the corners locations. Stoepplewerth performed many surveys in the area including the original surveys for the subject property and adjoining Jackson's Grant Subdivision. Within Jackson's Grant Subdivision, aluminum disks were found at the intersections and changes of direction of the centerlines of the streets. These are controlling monuments for the reestablishment of lots within the subdivision. of the fifteen nearest monuments only three were found to be at or a little more than 0.1 foot of where the dimensions shown on the plats indicated they would be found. The standard deviation in all monuments was 0.01 foot in the north direction and 0.03 foot in the east direction. THEORY OF LOCATION The subject real estate is described by metes and bounds. These types of descriptions make "calls", which are references to record, natural, or artificial monuments at the corners; and record, natural or cultural boundary lines. The most common method is to recite the direction and length of each line as one would walk around the perimeter of the property. The following are observations relative to those controlling monuments and calls as referenced in the description. I used the above monuments to "back out" of the subdivision and extend lines by record bearing and distance to the needed quarter corner and sixteenth corner monuments. Since the original survey and surrounding plats were all based on the same datum there was no need to adjust the lines of the subject property to any other datum or change the calls identified in the descriptions. COMMON TITLE LINES Information regarding the ownership of the subject real estate or adjoining parcels is that as shown in local government records, or as furnished by others. A comparison was made between the deed calls of the subject real estate and those adjoining parcels with common lines with the surveyed parcel and no discrepancies were found. OCCUPATION ALONG DEED LINES Occupation means some observable improvement either man made or a natural barrier manipulated by man to delineate the property line. It should be noted that not all fences are erected to define property lines and caution is warranted before accepting this type of barrier as such. One should also be aware that when these types of occupation are not in agreement with deed lines certain unwritten rights may exist over the land between them. Those parties relying on the survey should assume that the uncertainty of ownership of these areas where occupation lines and deed lines are not in coincidence is, at least, equal to the magnitude of the difference. Unless otherwise noted or shown on the survey, there is no visible evidence of occupation (possession) along the deed lines of the subject real estate. Parcel 1: Clay Center Road, a public thoroughfare, runs along the entire west side of the parcel. There are public utilities running along the west side of the road. At the time of the survey no documentation for the width of the right of way was found or furnished to the surveyor. An intermittent tree row meanders along the north line. Several capped rebar were found on the line at the lot corners of the adjoining Jackson's Grant Subdivision. An asphalt pedestrian path is located north of line, running across the south side of the lots in Jackson's Grant. There is no visible evidence of occupation along the easterly lines common with Parcel 2. There is a driveway with fences, an electric gate, underground electric and a speaker box running across the south end of the parcel. There is an access easement in place (Instrument No. 2014001579) that allows these improvements to exist until certain "Relocation Work" by the school takes place. There is a woven wire fence extending northerly from the adjoining property to 63.1 feet to 73.8 feet into the property. It should be noted that the adjoining south properties as well as the surveyed property were all under the same ownership at one time and the fences are probably from that era and not intended to demarcate deed lines. Parcel 2: An intermittent tree row meanders along the north line. Several capped rebar were found on the line at the lot corners of the adjoining Jackson's Grant Subdivision. An asphalt pedestrian path is located north of line, running across the south side of the lots in Jackson's Grant. There is no visible evidence of occupation along the northeasterly line or the westerly lines common with Parcel 1. A farm type fence runs from 2.8 to 4.1 feet north of the south line. An intermittent farm type fence runs from on line to as much as 2.9 feet east of the east line. The curbing, asphalt and apart of a concrete sidewalk along Domino Drive extend across the east line by as much as 2.2 feet. EXCEPTIONS/EASEMENTS No title commitment for the subject real estate or adjoining parcels was provided; therefore, items such as easements or other exceptions commonly found in title commitments or policies, which may or may not affect the property, are not shown. If additional information is required to be shown on the survey, please provide me with the appropriate documentation.
