“there shall be a statement describing the material, size, position and condition of every monument found and/or set.”

114. Search for the Record Monuments
Have field crews describe monuments found

116. Boundary Resolution Original Government land lines and monuments
Intent of Government Surveys
Know the Local Standards & Surveying Customs
Existing Boundary Monuments
Standard Surveying Rules of Evidence Apply
Called for in Deeds & Survey Plats
Use data from Record Survey Plats

Survey Monuments should be given considerable weight
Ignoring Survey Monuments Causes Chaos and Problems
Hierarchy of Monuments
Uncalled for Monuments
Record of Survey
Compatible with Deed
Accepted by Owners – Talk to Owners

126. Michael J. Ware, P.S. O.D.O.T. Central Office
Graduated from Ohio State University in 1998
Worked in the private sector for 12 years, performing boundary and topographic surveys, subdivision plan development, and right-of-way plan development for O.D.O.T. and LPA projects.
Joined O.D.O.T. in September 2006

127. Base Map Preparation Most commonly used Base Map types:
Existing topography mapping-
Base Existing (BE) – Existing ground survey
Base Aerial (BA) – Aerial mapping
Base Combined (BC) – Combined aerial and ground

128. Base Map Preparation Most commonly used Base Map types (cont.)
Proposed design elements-
Proposed roadway (BP) – most common
On some projects-
Proposed drainage (BD)
Proposed walls (BW)
Utilities (BU)
Right-of-Way elements-
Right-of-Way base map (BR)

129. Base Map Preparation Base Existing Drawing (BE)
All topographic items within 100’ of proposed R/W lines need to be located and identified
All buildings and fences located within the project limits and those to be effected by the project
All above ground utility items, and underground utilities located by OUPS or other locator service. Also private utilities, including septic systems and leach fields (extents), water supply wells, sprinkler systems, landscape lighting, and invisible fence.

130. Base Map Preparation Base Existing Drawing (BE)
All waterways & drainage structures
All field drives, alleys, roads and railroads within the project limits
All trees, shrubs, flowerbeds, etc. (Varies by project)
All roadway signs, and private signs (Including ADC permit number if present)
If it’s on the site, locate it and show it.
Take photos of the site for future use.

131. Base Map Existing (BE) Was anything missed?

132. Base Map Existing (BE)

133. Base Map Existing (BE)

134. Base Map Preparation Base Aerial Drawing (BA)
All visible topographic items
Provided by Aerial Engineering, or outside consultant
Usually provided for planning purposes, on larger projects
Lacks detail and accuracy needed for design work

135. Base Aerial (BA)

136. Base Map Preparation Base Combined Drawing (BC)
Combination of features from aerial and ground surveys
Aerial portion for wider coverage
Ground survey portion fills in details

137. Base Map Preparation Base Proposed Drawing (BP)
All proposed roadways and driveways
All proposed drainage structures and ditches (May be in separate files)
Construction limits
Any proposed items that will effect the Right of Way location
Centerline construction baseline and stationing (sometimes)

138. Base Proposed Drawing (BP)

139. Base Proposed Drawing (BP)

140. Base Map Preparation Base Right of Way Drawing (BR)
Prior listed Reference Files (BE & BP)
Centerline of Right of Way and stationing marks for all roads located within the project limits, including bearings, distances and curve information
Try to avoid dual Centerlines (Construction Centerline & R/W Centerline), dual centerlines should be the exception not the rule
Can lead to confusion on right-of-way and construction plans
Be sure the relationship between the centerlines is clearly shown on the centerline plat

141. Base Map Preparation Base Right of Way Drawing (BR)
Existing and proposed Right of Way Lines
Original Government land lines and monuments used to establish them. Showing direct ties to the CL of R/W.
Property lines, easement lines, and monuments used to establish them
Civil boundaries and monuments used to establish them
Ownership information
Land use information
Note any areas of concern with overlaps, gaps and occupation problems

145. Field Review by R/W Plan Designer
Should be performed at the Preliminary R/W Submission, Final R/W Submission and at the Right of Way Tracings Submission (within 15 days of the Tracings Submission)
Accuracy of Base Map (Relates directly to plan quality)
Confirm all topography, structures, fences, drives, trees, and the disposition of these items.
Confirm above ground and below ground utilities
Confirm OUPS and SUE's utility information
Confirm sanitary sewer, septic tanks, septic system, leach fields, private water supply wells, sprinkler systems, invisible fences (as possible)

146. Field Review by R/W Plan Designer
Confirm all Advertising and Device Controlled signs and the Permit Plate No. (if present)

155. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets
Open file and attach all needed references (BE, BP, BR, etc)

156. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets
Place border cell at proper plan scale (if ODOT_files.exe utility was used, this should be in the file already)

Fill in sheet title and headers, place cells and other drafting items

158. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets
Place a closed shape on a Scratch level

159. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets

Select reference files and use the closed element to clip

161. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets
Sheet file with references clipped and shape level turned off

162. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets
Copy file in directory, or perform ‘save as’ in Microstation

163. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets
In each file, ‘select all’ and move along the alignment

164. ‘Cutting’ R/W Sheets
In each file, ‘select all’ and move along the alignment
