Tax lot map data (the text on the map) often <br />matches survey text but more often than not the actual tax lot map (graphic) does not. <br />There is no good explanation why this is true but to use tax lot maps instead of surveyed data is <br />to risk a trip to Errors and Omissions Insurance. <br />B. A COMPARISON OF LHVC 9/2115-04 AND ACTUAL SURVEYED DATA <br />This document lists the inconsistencies on the map LHVC 9/2/15-04 which opponents assert is the <br />more accurate location of the boundary between the two land use designations. <br />1. LHVC 9/2/15-04 (what makes up this original exhibit) <br />• Adopted 2004 Metro Plan scanned by the City of Eugene from a book they have in the office <br />that contains the Metro Plan (not scanned from the original document kept on file at the city <br />recorder's office). <br />• Schirmer Satre Groups ZC-2 (dated 5-15-2015). <br />Note: We have no direct knowledge of the methodology used to assemble this sheet however <br />what we do know is LHVC did not have access to an ACAD version of the surveyed line work. <br />They would have had to make a copy of the line work from the paper or PDF plans submitted <br />initially which necessarily makes the data a raster images (pixelated, less clear). <br />This non-ACAD (pixelated / raster) version would then have to be merged with the scan of the <br />Metro Plan. <br />The inherent accuracies in that methodology are evident when taking a close look at this sheet. <br />2. What We Found (letters on drawing correspond to the following comments) <br />Drawing ZC-4F <br />• When the drawing is scaled so that the bar scale in the lower right corner of the title block is <br />at exactly 1"=200' then other lines within the drawing are not accurate. <br />Graphic Scale: 1" = 200' <br />A. North Property Line measures 3925.405' when in fact the survey indicates it is 3898.68'. <br />B. South Property Line measures 3189.69' when in fact the text on the line is 3164.95'. <br />Drawing ZC-4G <br />• When the drawing is scaled so that the north property line (A) measures the same as the <br />survey text (3898.68') then the south property line (B) and the bar scale are not accurate. <br />Graphic Scale: 1" = 198.44' <br />A. North Property Line measures 3898. 68' and the survey indicates it is 3898.68'. <br />B. South Property Line measures 3167.78' and the text on the line is 3164.95'. <br />C. CONCLUSION <br />Maps are only as good as the data used and the accuracy with which they can be assembled (or not). <br />Sheet LHVC 912/15-05 is replete with inconsistencies and inaccuracies and actually proves that tax <br />lot maps are inherently fallible and not accurate. <br />Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 'h Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 .
