1 ALTA/ACSM SURVEYS Larrie C. Hindman Morrison & Hecker L.L.P Grand Avenue Kansas City, Missouri I. Introduction: Problems associated with property boundaries have existed for generations. Even the Old Testament contains references to boundaries. For example, Moses added one new law relating to property to the ten commandments he received on Mount Sinai: You must not move back the boundary marks of your fellow-man, when the ancestors have set the boundaries of your inheritance.... Deuteronomy 19:14 And talk about social pressure. The Levites apparently stood on mountain tops and shouted: Cursed is he who moveth his landmark and all of the people will say amen. Deuteronomy 27:17. II. Evolution of the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey Requirements. A. Prior to Prior to 1962, the only national survey standards were the Technical Standards for Property Surveys adopted by the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping ( ACSM ) in B. The 1962 Survey Standards. In 1960, the President of the American Land Title Association ( ALTA, then the American Title Association) appointed a committee to establish a standard surveyors certification. Recognizing that before a standard surveyor s certificate could be prepared that it was necessary to establish standards or requirements for surveys, this committee held several meetings with ACSM regarding survey standards. As a result of such meetings, the Minimum Standard Requirements for Land Title Surveys were adopted by ALTA and ACSM (the Survey Standards ) in (See Attached No. 1.) C. The 1986 Minimum Standards. While the 1986 standards were principally a reformatting of the 1962 standards, the following changes and additions were made: (i) The allowable positional tolerance and closure requirement sections of the 1962 Survey Standards were deleted and the Classification and Specifications for Cadestral Surveys. (The Classification and Specifications ) were adopted as a part of the 1986 Survey Standards. These are customarily called the "Accuracy Standards". Copyright 1998
2 (ii) Four survey classes were specified in the Classification and Specifications: 1. CLASS A-Urban Survey 2. CLASS B-Suburban Survey 3. CLASS C-Rural Survey 4. CLASS D-Mountain and Marshland Survey D. The 1988 Survey Standards. The major revision in the 1988 Survey Standards was the adoption of Table A, Additional Survey Requirements for larger and more complex transactions. Table A was and continues to be a list of optional survey requirements which must be checked before the surveyor is obligated to show such matters. E. The 1992 Survey Standards. The 1992 Survey Standards included two principal changes: (i) (ii) The survey classes were changed to Urban, Suburban, Rural or Mountain or Marshland Groups; and Due to changes in technology of surveying instruments, the Classification and Specifications were no longer published as part of the Survey Standards, but are published as adopted from time to time by ACSM and ALTA. F. The 1997 Survey Standards and 1997 Classifications and Specifications. (See Attached No. 2 and No. 3.) The principal changes effected by the 1997 Survey Standards were as follows: (i) the land surveyors of ACSM incorporated under the name of National Society of Professional Surveyors Inc. ( NSPS ). All references in the Survey Standards, except the title caption, are now to ALTA, ACSM and NSPS and the standards are adopted by ALTA, NSPS, and ACSM. (ii) The following items were added to the Table A: 14. Observable evidence of earth moving work, building construction or building additions during recent months. 15. Any changes in street right of way lines either completed or proposed, and available from the controlling jurisdiction. Observable evidence of recent street or sidewalk construction or repairs. 16. Observable evidence of site use as a solid waste dump, primary or sanitary land fill. 2
3 III. Can the Accuracy Requirements of the Classifications and Specifications be Achieved by Surveyors? A. Definitions 1. Accuracy description of exactness or trueness 2. Precision the closeness to one or other of several measurements. 3. Positional Tolerance an allowable variance of measurement from a specified condition, description, or point. 4. The 1997 Classifications and Specifications contain the following definitions: (a) (b) Positional Uncertainty is the uncertainty in location, due to random errors in measurement, of any physical point on a property survey, based on the 95% confidence level ; and Positional Tolerance for a specified Class of Survey is the maximum acceptable amount of Positional Uncertainty for any physical point on a property survey relative to any other physical point on the survey, including lead-in courses." B. In the late 1980's surveyors began to question whether the accuracy requirements of the Classifications and Specifications could be met. Robert E. Meyers, then the Missouri State Surveyor, published an article (See Attached No. 4) explaining surveyors concerns which are based on the following matters. (i) Minimum distance specifications (65 feet for calibrated steel tape and 266 feet for EDM); (ii) A confidence level of 99% (expected precision is computed at a confidence level of three standard deviations or the probability that 99% of the observations lie within three standard deviations from the mean). C. The 1997 Classifications and Specifications do not completely resolve such concerns of surveyors, but a positional tolerance table for each class of survey is now included and to meet the accuracy requirements, the surveyor may either: 3
4 (i) Apply the within table of Minimum Angle, Distance and Closure Requirement for Survey Measurements Which Control Land Boundaries for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys to the measurements made in the Survey; or (ii) Compute the Positional Uncertainty for physical points on the survey to assure that those uncertainties do not exceed the Positional Tolerance for the specified Class of Survey. IV. Summary of 1997 Survey Standards: A. Paragraph 1. Ordering the survey: The request for a survey shall: provide written authorization to proceed specify that an Urban, Suburban, Rural, or Mountain and Marshland ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is required designate optional items in Table A to be included set forth the record description of property provide to the surveyor copies of: description record of the property B.
