The following standards shall apply to field traverses used in
land boundary surveys. Such standards should be considered minimum standards
only. Higher levels of precision are expected to be utilized in areas with
higher property values or in other situations necessitating higher
accuracy.
(1) Linear closures after
azimuth adjustment.
(a) City - central and
local business and industrial areas . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:10,000
(b) City - residential and subdivision lots .
. . . . . . . . . . . 1:5,000
(c)
Section subdivision, new subdivision boundaries for residential lots and
interior monument control . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:5,000
(d) Suburban - residential and subdivision
lots . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:5,000
(e) Rural - forest land and cultivated areas
. . . . . . . . . . . . 1:5,000
(f)
Lambert grid traverses . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:10,000
(2) Angular closure.
(a) Where 1:10,000 minimum linear closure is
required, the maximum angular error in seconds shall be determined by the
formula of 10 √n, where "n" equals the number of angles in the closed
traverse.
(b) Where 1:5,000 minimum
linear closure is required, the maximum angular error in seconds shall be
determined by the formula of 30 √n where "n" equals the number of angles
in the closed traverse.
