eldon Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I wonder if he is working for the government In the UK, this note appears on all the official plot plans. This title plan shows the general position, not the exact line, of the boundaries. It may be subject to distortions in scale. Measurements scaled from this plan may not match measurements between the same points on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 BoobyJones, It appears that there is a bit of reluctance to carry this forward without knowing the design intent. Exactly what will the presentation be used for. Making sure you have the correct information will help you boss avoid embarrasment - which will (should) help your standing. You always want to make the boss look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) When making a presentation before a public commission, such as the Planning & Zoning Board or the Building Commission, one should always check what the minimum requirements are for any drawings to be presented be they preliminary , in-progress or final submission. This information is usually available, for the asking, at the various departments one must deal with. In large cities this information may even be available on the department's municipal web page. You never stated whether this drawing had to be printed to a particular scale or would "Fit to paper" be sufficient? I think "to scale" would be more appropriate. BTW...your drawing is in inches and not in feet or even decimal feet and inches as indicated by the dimensions written atop the image. One should always draw objects in model space at FULL size no matter how large the object is. You also drew your "fenced in area" as a rectangle when in fact it is not. One side is just over 178 feet long but the opposite side is close to 192' long. The fence should not extend through the building either. The dimensions shown on your image are in decimal feet/inches a.k.a. - engineering units. Change your drawing units to Engineering. Make the precision 0'.00". When it comes time to enter the distance at the command line type, for example, 191.71'. AutoCAD will draw the line as being 191'-8.52". Remember that 0.0833 = one decimal inch. If you do the math correctly you'll see that 0.71 feet equals a little over 8 1/2 inches. A plot plan should show the boundary of the entire property not just the "fenced in area". It should have any adjacent streets shown and it is helpful to have a north arrow as well. A good plot plan will indicate the property line lengths and bearings and if this is being submitted to the Building Department or Planning & Zoning then the setback lines should also be shown with the actual dimensions from the building to the line indicated. The names of adjacent property owners are sometimes included in the form of "n/f John Smith". Edited September 5, 2012 by ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 eldon: Now that's what I call a disclaimer. In other words it is saying....Don't trust this drawing to be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
