Thank you, Joseph Elfelt, for your research and the informative links. Can you provide more detail on how the judge came to that conclusion in your case? “holding that my work does not fall within the statutory definition of land surveying”
While the Building Code law you cited would appear to close the case against Ryan Crownholm, I’ll repeat something I wrote earlier in this blog:
GIS managers in two public agencies attest that the requested site plan sketches are simply the preliminary step to issuing a building permit. Subsequently, the government agency may require detailed engineering drawings or certified survey products when necessary. Potentially encroaching decisions are not made from site plan sketches or diagrams.
