SURVEY, CIVIL ENGINEERING & SOILS SCIENCE
RECORDS RESEARCH
Required for all projects - research pertaining to subject property and the surrounding parcels. The extent of research will be predicted to the scope of work requirements.
PROPERTY LINE STAKEOUT
Physical markers (typically wooden “witness” stakes) placed at the boundary corners of your parcel. No map (paper component) will be provided.
WORKSHEET
A informal map (paper component) provided of your property/area, including horizontal locations (points of interest placed on a map).
D CLASS SURVEY MAP
Not a field survey map. It’s creation is from historical information only, no field work is conducted.
A-2 CLASS SURVEY MAP
Standard for most surveys- includes horizontal accuracy (locations of points of interest in space; ex: buildings, drives, mechanicals, etc.) referenced to the property lines and makers at corners/edges.
A-2 T-2 CLASS SURVEY MAP
A-2 class with additional vertical accuracy (elevations- how far points of interest are located off grade and/or sea level).
FEASABILITY STUDY / MAP
Typically a D Class Map to determine what can be done within your property. Frequently includes Soil Testing. (Ex: what kind of space is permitted, how many lots for a potential subdivision, what size home can you build, etc.) This is not a A-2 Class survey (not official).
COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT PLAN
Required for new shoreline homes (most homes south of I-95) and all construction activity within a certain number of feet (determined by municipality) of a Critical Coastal Resource. Typically requires A-2 T-2 mapping of Existing & Proposed conditions, and applications to local and state agencies. Third party engineering via Municipality mandate may be applicable.
ENGINEERED SEPTIC DESIGN PLAN
Required in the case of various restrictions on site for existing septic repairs and/or new systems. Includes site stake-out of system for contractor purposes.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Measures for water situations existing and/or created on-site. Required for most actions (construction and alterations) by most municipalities. Coastal areas will require this within CAM plan; and with increases to impervious coverage.
(RE)SUBDIVISION / LOT LINE REVISION MAPS
Maps prepared with all necessary information to split a lot into any number of lots, and/or to change the lot lines in any way.
SOILS TESTING
Double B Design’s professional witnessing of Test Pits and documentation there of. Scheduling & coordination (soil scientist, health dept, excavation) available as well. Conduction of Percolation Test if applicable. May trigger stormwater mitigation, B-100A, etc.
ELEVATION CERTIFICATE
FEMA document requested by most insurance companies for properties within Flood Zones. Field work, calculations and certifications performed here.
MUNICIPAL PERMITTING
Communication with municipalities and execution of any required permits for your project. Requirements differ per project scope and municipality. Sequential permitting assistance and guidance available. (ZBA first, Health Department next, then Building Department, etc.)
MUNICIPAL MEETINGS
We act as Agent for the Applicant (you) at necessary municipal meetings - advocating for the Applicant within the regulations. We file needed approvals from meetings for subsequent compliance or permitting.
SCHEDULE A LEGAL DESCRIPTIONS
Property description included in the deed that accompanies your parcel. Utilizes meets and bounds (angles and distances). Needed commonly with re/subdivisions and lot line revisions.
EASEMENTS
Typically applies to utility easements. Providers may require easements to service your project.
WETLANDS DELINEATION
Our soil scientist conducts a site investigation "flagging" the boundary of the wetlands. This serves as an official delineation of the wetlands on your property.
WETLANDS RESTORATION
Our soil scientist conducts a site investigation "flagging" the boundary of the wetlands, and assesses any violations. From there, we create a restoration plan to rectify any damage or infractions.
Please note that required elements highly depend on the intended outcome of your project. Each municipality is unique in its standards and requirements. Any proposed action may require any set of subsequent requirements/permits. Preliminary meetings are often used to initiate conversations prior to submittal of proposed plans to their appropriate pathways.
