The systems of plane rectangular co-ordinates which have been established by the United States department of commerce for defining and stating the positions or locations of points on the surface of the earth within the state shall be known as the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927 and the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983.…
As established for use in the north zone, the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927 or the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983 shall be named, and in any land description in which it is used it shall be designated, the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927, north zone, or the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983, north zone.As established…
The plane co-ordinates of a point on the earth's surface, to be used in expressing the position or location of such point in the appropriate zone of the systems specified in section 157.01 of the Revised Code, shall consist of two distances, expressed in United States survey feet and decimals of a United States survey…
Plane co-ordinates, used to reference and describe land boundary corners and made a part of the recorded description of such corners, shall be considered adequate evidence of the location of such corners in the absence of original physical monuments or other acceptable controlling evidence of original corner locations.…
When any tract of land extends from one zone into the other the co-ordinate zones established by section 157.01 of the Revised Code, the positions of all points on its boundaries may be referenced to either of the two zones.
(A) As defined by the United States department of commerce:(1) The "Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927, north zone" is a Lambert conformal conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north latitudes of 40° 26' and 41° 42' along which parallels the scale shall be exact; the origin of co-…
Co-ordinates based on either Ohio co-ordinate system and used to describe and locate positions of land boundary corners shall be surveyed and determined within a maximum positional error of plus or minus 0.05 metres, except that it may be less than 0.05 metres if local land survey standards of practice for positional e…
Extension of co-ordinate control by qualified surveyors for local co-ordinate control densification shall be executed in conformity with standards of accuracy and specifications for first or second-order geodetic surveys as prepared and published by the federal geodetic control committee of the United States department…
Distances, bearings, and areas computed indirectly from co-ordinates shall be considered acceptable measurement evidence for land and other surveys if such co-ordinates have been determined in accordance with sections 157.04, 157.07, and 157.08 of the Revised Code.
Use of the terms "Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927, north zone," or "Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927, south zone," on any map, report of survey or other document shall be limited to co-ordinates based on the "Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927" as defined in this chapter.
In accordance with sections 157.01 to 157.10 of the Revised Code, the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1927 shall not be used after 1999 and the Ohio co-ordinate system of 1983 shall be used after that date. Nothing in sections 157.01 to 157.10 of the Revised Code shall be construed to require that land descriptions using th…
