7. Acreage must be determined for each category of land used to determine final purchase price, if required. Examples of land categories are jurisdictional wetlands, submerged lands if owned by a private owner and uplands. A closed traverse must be shown on the survey drawing with acreage categories delineated in order to verify each of the areas. Each individual area of each category of land must have the acreage written within its boundaries on the survey drawing. The number of decimal places used should reflect the level of precision for the work performed. 8. Easements and rights-of-way, both of record and/or revealed by a field inspection of the acquisition parcel, must be shown on the drawing and identified by the official record book and page (if recorded) and by type of easement. If an easement or right-of-way for ingress and egress connects the acquisition parcel to a public right-of-way, it must be protracted and identified by the recorded document's book and page on the survey drawing. If an access easement or right-of-way does not exist, it must be noted on the survey drawing that there are no documents in the public records that provide ingress to and egress from the acquisition parcel to a public right-of-way based upon research of the records by the title company providing the title insurance. 9. Prior to closing the surveyor must review the title insurance commitment for the acquisition parcel. The survey legal description must match the legal description in the title insurance commitment. If the legal descriptions do not match, the surveyor must execute an affidavit stating that the property conveyed is the same property described in the commitment. Any referenced encumbrance, except liens, listed in Schedule B, section Il, of the title insurance commitment must be shown with the location, dimensions, area, and character, and be identified by the book and page of the recorded document on the survey drawing. 10. In areas where the Department of Environmental Protection's Coastal Construction Control Line (Chapter 161, Florida Statutes) has been established, the survey must tie into existing Control Line monuments. The Control Line and acreage landward of the Control Line must be noted on the survey drawing. Care should be taken to assure the latest Control Line information is used (Contact Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Beaches and Shores, 850/487-4475). Acontact person may be located on DEP's website at www.dep.state.fl.us/beaches/. 11. The survey must be certified to Florida Communities Trust, unless waived. The date of certification must be within 90 days before closing, unless waived by FCT and by the title insurer for purposes of deleting the standard exceptions for survey matters and easements or claims of easements not shown in the public records of the title policy. The date in the certification must be revised if the survey is updated or recertified. 12. Drawing must be of appropriate size and must include the legal description of the property. For areas too large for maximum sheet size, multiple sheets with appropriate match lines must be used. 13. The following work products must be submitted to FCT: A. Two paper copies of the signed and sealed final certified survey; B. Geographic Information System data provided as a shapefile (ArcView or ArcMap), with projection, datum, and units specified, on CD. The shapefile should contain the boundary of the acquired parcel(s) and include in the attribute table the name of the parcel, name of the Florida Communities Trust project, closing date(s), and deed acres. C. Any correspondence with the state, county, or municipality regarding maintained roads.
