I could use the advice here of someone conversant in drawing survey
plats in metric units. I am reviewing a proposed set of Subdivision
Regulations for my county and they fail to include metric equivalents,
which I will push for.
The proposed regulations call for plats to be drawn on 18 in by 24 in or
24 in by 36 in paper. What paper sizes are normally used in the metric
world that are roughly equivalent to that? I'm guessing at A2 and A1,
respectively. Are those commonly used in drafting of survey plats?
The statement on scales is that no less than 1 in = 50 ft [which would
be 1:600] be used with 1 in = 100 ft [which would be 1:1200] being the
absolute minimum. What typical metric scales should I suggest that are
roughly equivalent and do not exceed these stated values? I'm guessing
at 1 mm = 0.5 m [1:500] and 1 mm = 1 m [1:1000], respectively.
Again, I'm asking advice about standard practices here, not a discourse
on A-series paper sizes and the like. So I need a metric surveyor or
someone familiar with that to respond.
