California Surveyors Forums

Hello.

Has it been generally accepted by planning departments to only show contouring for the parcel to be carved out and
not the remainder parcel? For example, if you're carving out a 1-2 acre parcel out of a heavily forested and steep 10 acre parcel, will
planning departments accept just showing contouring on the 1-2 acre parcel only?

Thanks in advance for any input.

They have for me when I discussed the challenges to them before moving ahead and just submitting it. Another option is to import a DEM from the quadrangle in the area and disclaim it. Again I would try to pre-confirm that planning will not reject it.

Planners are not surveyors. Ask to review it with the individual in "responsible charge" for their land surveying.
