(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 6. A-E 7.06 (1), (2), (3), and (5), and 7.07 are amended to read:
A-E 7.06 (1) Measurements shall be made with instruments and methods capable of attaining the required accuracy for the particular problem circumstances involved.
(2) The minimum accuracy of linear measurements between points shall be the larger of 2/100ths of a foot or 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 deviation in relative positional accuracy for a survey is plus or minus 0.07 foot plus 50 parts per million, based on the direct distance between the two corners being tested. 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 at the discretion of the licensee performing the survey. The licensee shall provide justification for exceeding the maximum allowable relative positional accuracy.
(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), 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 7. A-E 7.08, (1) (intro.), (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 when any of the following situations arise:
(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 reestablished determined through lost-corner-proportionate methods.
Section 8. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
