LaurelRidge Page 4 of 5 <br />Zone Change Application (Z 15-5) <br />Eugene Hearings Official - Remand Hearing - Open Record Period - Applicant Testimony <br />September 28, 2016 <br />Sheet LHVC 912115-04 also contains inaccuracies because of the nature of the medium used to <br />assemble the maps. It is not that LHVC intentionally created maps that were inherently inaccurate. <br />There are simply limitations to accuracy based on limitations of the data used. <br />There is nothing more accurate than having original vector data (mathematical calculations from one <br />point to another creating a line) vs. raster (images made up of pixels as contained in Bit Maps, PDFs, <br />JPEGs and paint programs). <br />Vector graphics are resolution independent. Here is a picture that explains their accuracy better. <br />The 4 plans submitted by the applicant at the public hearing on 9.21.16 (ZC-4A, ZC-4B, ZC-4C and <br />ZC-41D) are examples of plans that used a raster image for the Metro Plan (the official adopted plan <br />is on paper and therefore could only be a raster image) merged with the surveyed referents (ACAD <br />vector data). <br />It is the most accurate method of merging the Metro Plan with the surveyed referents. <br />Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 th Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 <br />
