Mr. Fred Wilson <br />October 5, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />Applicant's Allegation 2: Inaccuracies in LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-05 <br />The applicant alleges that there are inaccuracies on LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-05, which is an <br />overlay of the applicable tax lot maps onto an image of the Metro Plan Diagram which is <br />based on LCOG's GIS layer. <br />According to the applicant's description of their methodology, they scaled their survey of <br />the subject property according to the scale bar on an image of LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-5. <br />However, quite clearly, someone appears to have measured inaccurately, as the yellowish <br />surveyed elements of the map are somewhat smaller than the image they have been placed <br />upon. Consequently, none of the applicant's surveyed elements fit well with the <br />underlying LHVC image. The Centerline for Spring Boulevard is not centered on Spring <br />Boulevard, but rather to the east of the center of the road on the TL Map, the surveyed <br />property line of Bloomberg Park is to the W and N of the one on the tax lot map and the <br />subject property is smaller than shown on the TL Map. According to our assessment of <br />the issue it appears to be the result of inaccurate scaling by the applicant rather than <br />represent inaccuracies with either the TL Maps or LHVC's map. <br />Moreover, even if the applicant's argument were right, the maximum discrepancy for the <br />applicant's property appears to be 35 feet as opposed to the 179 feet the applicant had <br />"slid" their property to the NW on their proposed overlay maps. <br />Applicant's Allegation 3: Inaccuracies in LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-04 <br />The applicant alleges issues with the scaling of LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-04. It is telling that the <br />applicant did not include the entire sheet as presented by LHVC, but rather only a portion <br />of the sheet and the scale bar from that sheet as an excerpt. It should be noted that the <br />entire drawing of the applicant's boundary and scale bar (along with the Shirmer-Satre <br />Logo etc.) on applicant's sheet ZC-2 was imported into the LHVC sheet as a unit. LHVC <br />verified the bar scale presented by Schirmer-Satre on their drawing and then used the <br />drawing without any modifications, besides the rotation necessary to bring the diagram to <br />Grid North. <br />In the wake of the applicant's allegation, LHVC re-checked (to a foot or less accuracy) our <br />scale of the original document on which the LHVC Sheet 9/2/15-04 PDF is based and <br />found no discrepancies between the scale bar and stated distances along the property lines <br />If there are scaling discrepancies on applicant's ZC-417 and ZC-4G, they are either <br />due to the applicant's inability to correctly read the scale of their own drawing or to <br />some manipulation the applicant has performed with the scale block which they <br />separated from the original drawing. <br />Laurel HillValleyCitizens@gmail.com . 2585Moon Mountain Drive .
