However, it shall be the <br /> responsibility of the person presenting the map to prove that the map was <br /> so prepared. <br /> (e) Method of Computation. - - An accurate method of <br /> computation shall be used to determine the acreage and ratio of precision <br /> shown on the plat. Area by estimation is not acceptable nor is area by <br /> planimeter, area by scale, or area copied from another source, except in <br /> the case of tracts containing inaccessible sections or areas. In such <br /> case the surveyor may make use of aerial photographs or other appropriate <br /> aids to determine the acreage of such any inaccessible areas <br /> when such the areas are bounded by natural and visible <br /> monuments. In such case the methods used must be stated on the plat and <br /> all accessible areas of the tract shall remain subject to all applicable <br /> standards of this section. <br /> (f) Plat to Contain Specific Information. - - Every plat shall <br /> contain the following specific information: <br /> (1) An accurately positioned north arrow coordinated <br /> . with any bearings shown on the plat. Indication shall be made as to <br /> whether the north- index is true, magnetic, North Carolina grid ('NAD 83' <br /> or 'NAD 27' ) , or is referenced to old deed or plat bearings. If the north <br /> index is magnetic or referenced to old deed or plat bearings, the date and <br /> the source (if known) such the index was originally <br /> determined shall be clearly indicated. <br /> (2) The azimuth or course and distance of every <br /> property line surveyed shall be shown. Distances shall be in feet or <br /> meters and decimals thereof. The number of decimal places shall be <br /> appropriate to the class of survey required. <br /> (3) All plat distances shall be by horizontal or <br /> grid measurements. All lines shown on the plat shall be correctly plotted <br /> to the scale shown. Enlargement of portions of a plat are acceptable in <br /> the interest of clarity, where shown as inserts. where the North Carolina <br /> grid system is used the grid factor shall be shown on the face of the <br /> plat. If grid distances are used, it must be shown on the plat. <br /> (4) Where a boundary is formed by a curved line, the <br /> following data must be given: actual survey data from the point of <br /> curvature to the point of tangency shall be shown as standard curve data, <br /> or as a traverse of bearings and distances around the curve. If standard <br /> curve data is used the bearing and distance of the long chord (from point <br /> I of curvature to point of tangency) must be shown on the plat. <br /> i <br /> 3 of 12 08/22/97 14:34:23 <br />
