(2) By land boundaries being surveyed as a platted lot or outlot in a recorded subdivision or recorded addition to a recorded subdivision, the lots or outlots in that plat shall be described by the name of the plat and the lot or outlot and the block in the plat for all purposes, if such document is previously tied to two corners of the original government survey.
(3) By land boundaries being surveyed as an existing lot, outlot or parcel, on a recorded certified survey map, the survey shall be described by lot, outlot or parcel number and certified map number for all purposes, if such document is previously tied to two corners of the original government survey.
(4) By the parcel described as an aliquot part of a section subdivision from the public land system, the existing legal description is acceptable.
7.05 Maps. A map shall be drawn for every property survey, unless a survey report is filed as provided in A-E 7.02 (1), showing information developed by the survey. The map shall:
(1) Be drawn on media with the minimum size of 8 ½ x 11 inches and to a commonly accepted scale which shall be clearly stated and graphically illustrated by a bar scale on each map sheet containing a graphical depiction of the survey unless otherwise required by law.
(2) Be referenced as provided in s. 59.73 (1), Stats. along with a north arrow and reference to a monumented line. (3) Show the length and bearing of the boundaries of the parcels surveyed. Where the boundary lines show bearings, lengths or locations which vary from those recorded in deeds, abutting plats, or other instruments, there shall be the following note placed along such line, “recorded as (show recorded bearing, length or location)”. Curve data shall be shown by any 3 of the following: central angle, radius, long chord bearing and length, and arc length.
(4) Describe all monuments or witness corners, intended to represent or reference corners of the survey, shall be shown and described as to size, shape, material, and their positions noted in relation to the survey corners and used for determining the location of the parcel and show by bearing and distance the relationship to the surveyed parcel and indicate whether such monuments were found or placed with all legend for all symbols and abbreviations used on the map.
(5) Show visible physical evidence of possession, encroachments, or occupation each way from the exterior lines of the survey shall be shown and dimensioned and show visible evidence of structures, improvements, rights-of-way, and easements.
(6) Show surveyed parcel bounded by water or inaccessible areas, the part shall be enclosed by a meander line showing complete data along all lines extending beyond the enclosure. The true boundary shall be clearly indicated on the map.
(7) Identify the professional land surveyor’s business name and address, the person or entity for whom the survey was made, completion date of the field work, and description of the parcel as provided in s. A-E 7.04. (8) Bear the stamp or seal, name and business address and signature of the professional land surveyor under whose direction and control the survey was made with a statement certifying that the survey complies with this chapter and is correct to the best of the professional land surveyor’s knowledge and belief.
(9) Be filed as required by s. 59.45 (1), Stat., on media or electronically if acceptable by the county. (10) Identify boundary lines on the survey. Boundary lines shall be clearly differentiated from other lines on the map.
(11) Coordinate values when shown on the face of the map they shall comply with and be subject to the provisions of s. 236.18, Stats., and include coordinate system, datum and adjustment. Section 5. A-E 7.06 (2), (3), and (5), and 7.07 are amended to read:
A-E 7.06 (2) The minimum accuracy of linear measurements between points shall be better than 1 part in 3,000 on all property lines of boundary or interior the survey.
(3) In a closed traverse the sum of the measured angles shall agree with the theoretical sum by a difference not greater than 30 seconds per angle, or the sum of the total angles may not differ from the theoretical sum by more than 120 seconds, whichever is smaller. The maximum allowable relative positional accuracy for a survey is plus or minus 2 cm (0.07 feet) plus 50 parts per million, based on the direct distance between the two corners being tested. It is recognized that in certain circumstances, the size or configuration of the surveyed property, or the relief, vegetation or improvements on the surveyed property will result in survey measurements for which the maximum allowable relative positional precision may be exceeded.
(5) Bearings or angles on any property survey map shall be shown to at least the nearest 30 seconds. Distances shall be shown to the nearest 1/100th foot.
A-E 7.07 Monuments. The type and position of monuments to be set on any survey shall be according to s. 236.15 (1) (b), Stats., unless determined by the nature of the survey, the permanency required, the nature of the terrain, the cadastral features involved, and the availability of material. Coordinate values are not acceptable in lieu of monuments. Section 6. A-E 7.08 (1), (1) (c), and (3) (e) and (g) are amended to read:
A-E 7.08 (1) When monument record required. A U.S. public land survey monument record shall be prepared and filed with the county surveyor's office survey records as part of any land survey within 60 days of setting or accepting the corner which includes or requires the perpetuation, restoration, reestablishment or use of a U.S. public land survey corner, and,
(1) (c) The witness ties or U.S. public land survey monument referenced in an existing U.S. public land survey monument record have been destroyed or disturbed except where the witness ties and the U.S. public land survey monument referenced in an existing U.S. public land survey monument record have been found and verified and a note stating this has been placed on the property survey.
(3) (e) A description of any material discrepancy between the location of the corner monument as restored or reestablished and the monument location of that corner as previously restored or reestablished established.
(3) (g) Whether the corner was determined reestablished through lost-corner-proportionate methods.
Section 7. EFFECTIVE DATE. The rules adopted in this order shall take effect on the first day of the month following publication in the Wisconsin administrative register, pursuant to s. 227.22 (2) (intro.), Stats.
