Exhibit "F" FLORIDA COMMUNITIES TRUST SURVEY PROCEDURES The following survey procedures shall be used in order that the certified survey receives a satisfactory review and approval by the Florida Communities Trust (FCT). The survey must be certified as meeting these procedures and minimum technical standards for land surveying (Chapter 61 G17-6, Florida Administrative Code). 1. The legal description in the current owner's deed must be reviewed by the surveyor. If FCT/Grant Recipient is purchasing all of the property described in the current owner's deed, the legal description on the survey must match the legal description in the current owner's deed, or, an affidavit must be provided by the surveyor stating that the property surveyed is identical to the legal description in the deed. If FCT/Grant Recipient is purchasing a portion of the property described in the current owner's deed the legal description on the survey must match in form and as much as possible in content the legal description in the current owner's deed. All recorded documents supplied to the surveyor or secured by the surveyor must be shown on the survey drawing. 2. FCT/Grant Recipient will not acquire title to roads that are owned by the county, the state or the federal government by virtue of a conveyance, order of taking in an eminent domain action, or maintenance pursuant to Section 95.361, Florida Statutes. Appropriate county, state, or federal personnel must be contacted for written documentation regarding maintenance. The written documentation must be submitted in accordance with paragraph 13 of this document. Some examples of language to remove the road right-of-way from the legal description are as follows: a. Less and except that portion maintained as a county road right-of-way. b. Less that portion of the West 35 feet of Section 10, Township 56 South, Range 39 East, Dade County, Florida maintained as a county road right-of-way. The surveyor must show the limits of maintenance as a boundary line with enough geometry so that the area of the acquisition parcel can be computed. 3. The location of water boundaries must be depicted on the final survey with bearing and distances so that a closed traverse can be computed. The area(s) below the water boundary must not be included within the final acreage tabulation. The methodology used for establishing the water boundary must be indicated in a note on the final survey drawing. Surveys that require the mean high water line to be located must be prepared in accordance with the Florida Coastal Mapping Act of 1974, Chapter 177, Part 11, Florida Statutes and Chapter 18-5, Florida Administrative Code. 4. The accuracy of survey measurements must be substantiated by the computation of a closed traverse; the relative error of closure permissible must be no greater than 1:10,000. 5. All land corners controlling the description of each ownership, if not found, must be set (including block comers). Any public land Survey corner, original or purported, used in this survey must be verified or re-established in accordance with the Manual of Surveying Instructions, 1973 (Manual), prepared by the U.S. Department of Interior. 6. The surveyor must locate all above -ground fixed improvements and any evidence of underground fixed improvements within the acquisition parcel.
