s � � <br />Commissioner Eggert believed the problem brought up at the <br />last meeting was the fact that if the print was enlarged we could <br />end up with a lot more sheets per plat and also the possibility <br />of losing some of those sheets. <br />Peter Musick, registered land surveyor, presented the Board <br />with a•lifesize copy of the last plat he filed for Beindorf & <br />Associates plus a negative of it, explaining that they prepare <br />their plats on vellum and send them to West Palm Beach where they <br />make a negative photograph of them. Mr. Musick felt we are all <br />looking for a common solution and he just wanted to demonstrate <br />there are other means. He believed the letters on the copies he <br />submitted are sharp and clear, and he thought one of the problems <br />in bringing that back from the microfilm to the 11 x 17 is that <br />they then take those to a Xeroxtype process, and that causes the <br />fuzzy letters. Mr. Musick stressed there are other ways of doing <br />this rather than having to file a final plat of 3-4 sheets, which <br />involves a considerably higher filing cost. <br />Mr. Musick continued that he inquired about the cost of the <br />machine he mentioned at the last meeting and was told it would <br />cost around $75,000, which he agreed is a lot of money, but he <br />believed the Clerk does not have the equipment to do the job. <br />In further discussion he noted that if they have room on a plat, <br />they can use larger lettering and another alternative is to make <br />the letter lines as fine as possible. <br />Mr. Woodard noted that the lettering on the plat submitted <br />by Mr. Musick is just a bit smaller than the size the Clerk is <br />requesting. He stressed that the 5132 size they are recommending <br />is required on Department of Defense plats and is also the size <br />recommended by the Micrographic Association - these are industry <br />standards. As to the cost of filing, he did not believe that <br />cost comes out of the surveyors' pockets. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed they were also concerned about <br />the possibility of losing information when a plat has 3 or 4 <br />sheets.• <br />24 BOOK 73 FAu 375 <br />
