3. Subdivision Drawing
Drawing shows bearings of the Centerline of each roadway and the tangent distance between points. Each lot is defined using bearings and line lengths. This is an example of a “metes and bounds” survey.

6. Legal Description
All that portion of Lot Four (4) in Block One Hundred Forty-nine (149) of the City of Germantown, as per Map thereof No. 336, filed in the office of the County Recorder of said Shelby County, November 12, 1976, described as follows:

7. Bearings OA = N 70° 00’ 00” E OB = S 35° 00’ 00” E
OC = S 55° 00’ 00” W
OD = N 30° 00’ 00” W
Bearings are less than 90° and are located in one of the four quadrants: NE, NW, SW or SE.

10. Subdivision Regulations
“Where practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines and radial to curved street lines. Each lot shall front on a public street or road which has a right-of-way width of not less than forty (40) feet”

11. Subdivision Regulations
Radial to Curved Street. Intersect at center of Cul-de-sac
40 foot minimum ROW

12. Drawing Requirements:
Design the lot layouts for the western half of the Hunters Hollow Subdivision.
Number each lot.
Show property lines for each lot.
Compute the bearings, distances and area enclosed (in acres) for two distinctly different shaped lots. Note: 1 acre = 43,560 sf.
Display the area using 1/8” text.
Display the bearings and distances using 1/16” text.
Print the drawing on “B” size (11” X 17”) paper.
