ALTA SURVEY
|
|
An ALTA (American Land Title Association) survey consists of recovering and/or monumenting boundary corners and lines. Measured and platted or record bearings and all permanent structures are shown on the drawing, which include: building/s, sidewalks, signs, above ground utilities, light poles and monuments in relation to the boundary lines. A typical ALTA survey includes parking areas, noted with the number and type of spaces and type of material (asphalt, concrete, turf block). In addition, everything 5’ (five feet) outside the Property lines is also located. Setback, height and bulk restrictions are noted and shown.

CLOMR-F, LOMA & LOMR SURVEYS
|
|
|
CLOMR-F: Conditional letter of Map Revision based on fill.
LOMA: Letter of Map Amendment
LOMR: Letter of Map Revision
Each of these surveys is for the purpose of removing one or more specific parcels of land from the Flood Insurance Rate Maps when it can be demonstrated by the collection of information from various sources, including aerial photos, elevations, and tax maps that a property has either been filled to an elevation that is at or above the Base Flood Elevation for a particular flood zone; or, because of existing topography, is not or was never at or below the base flood elevation at any point within the boundary of the parcel of land. Successfully establishing the facts can cause the Federal Emergency Management Agency to remove the parcel from the flood maps by letter to the local government agency that administers the Flood Insurance Program. Being removed from the flood zone may remove a lender’s requirement for flood insurance.

ELEVATION CERTIFICATES
|
|
|
An Elevation Certificate is a document created by FEMA and prepared by a Land Surveyor. This document is then given to the insurance company which identifies the flood zone designation, the base flood elevation, the elevation of the structure and surrounding ground for a given piece of property. From this certificate, the insurance company can accurately determine the cost of flood insurance for the property.

SUBDIVISION PLATTING
|
|
|
Dividing a parcel of land more than once creates 3 or more new parcels. Under Florida Statutes, the creation of 3 or more new parcels requires the preparation of a subdivision plat. Platting includes a boundary survey of the parcel of land to base the proposed subdivision plat upon. Typically, the surveyor works with a Civil Engineer and a Land Planner. The Land Planner prepares a concept of the layout of the new lots, allowing adequate lands for roads and drainage retention areas. The Civil Engineer prepares plans for the utilities and drainage to serve the new lots. It is the job of the Licensed Surveyor to properly calculate the new lot lines, draw and submit the plat for review by the local government.
