Drawing Scale & North Arrow

The Idaho Board of Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors have indicated that Title 55, Chapter 19 is applicable to subdivision plats, i.e. that a plat is a form of a Record of Survey, and as such the information required to be supplied on a Record of Survey, should also be contained on a subdivision plat.

Review

·        Is there a graphic scale on the drawing?  Does it scale correctly?  Is it labeled correctly?

·        Does the line work on the drawing scale correctly?  For plats that are not original or a vacuum frame mylar, there could be some distortion in one axis of the drawing.  This may create problems for verifying dimensions

·        Are there any details on the drawing that are scaled differently than the main drawing?  If so, are the scale values shown, and does the detail scale correctly?

·        Is there a North Arrow on the drawing, and is it oriented correctly?

·        Are there any details on the drawing that are oriented differently than the main drawing, and if so, do they have their own North arrow shown?

·        Are there more than one ?
