Thanks in advance. Anyone want to take a stab at how many square feet,
aproximately, this description represents??? We all have our sicknesses.
Do I read this right that the property is on both sides of a road?
BEGINNING at a point on the
title line in the bed of "Road 1"
(proposed 50 feet wide) said point being
measured by the 08 following courses
and distances along the said title line and
its extension through Re bed of "Road 1"
from its point of intersection
with the title line in the bed of
"Road 2". (Route No. 2) (proposed 50
feet wide) (1) south 63 degrees 53 minutes
east 680 feet to a point on the tide
line in the bed of "Road 1" (2)
south 63 degrees 22 minutes east, 313.50
feet to a point (3) south 71 degrees 07
minutes east, 313.50 feet to a point (4)
south 61 degrees 22 minutes east, 238.40
feet to a point (5) south 38 degrees 22
minutes east, 132 feet to a point (6) south
38 degrees 16 minutes east, 873.89 feet to
a point (7) south 80 degrees 29 minutes
east, 553 feet to a point and (8) north 68
degrees 01 minute east, 300 feet to the
point of beginning; thence extending
from said point of beginning north 30
degrees 32 minutes west, crossing the
northwesterly side of "Road 1",
525 feet to a point; thence extending
south 80 degrees 34 minutes east crossing
a stream and partly along land about to
be conveyed to "Person 1", 699.10 feet to
a point; thence extending still partly
along the land to be conveyed to
"Person 1" south 70 degrees 06 minutes
east 90 feet to a point in line of land to be
conveyed to "Person 2" ; thence extending
along the last mentioned land the 02 following
courses and distances: (1) south
20 degrees 19 minutes west, 114 feet to a
point and (2) south 08 degrees 16 minutes
west, crossing the northeasterly side of
"Road 1" 312.80 feet to a point
on the title line in the bed of
"Road 1" aforesaid; thence extending along
the said title line through the bed of
"Road 1" the 02 following
courses and distances: (1) north 74
degrees 44 minutes west recrossing the
aforesaid stream 430 feet to a point and
(2) south 68 degrees 01 minute west, 25
feet to the first mentioned point and
place of beginning.
So many years since I did this kind of thing. When we wrote such
descriptions, we always appended the calculated acreage -- but that's extra
work I guess.
Well, using protractor and ruler to plot, I got the figure to close which
gave me some reassurance that I could read the description. It appears to
be something approaching a rectangle with average east-west width of about
600 feet and average north-south height of 400 feet. That simple approach
suggests an area of 5.5 acres. Using a more refined method of summing
calculated subareas, I came up with 5.05 acres. These are not the best
methods of plotting and calculating but I estimate the latter figure to be
within 5 percent.
The references to "Road 1" seem a bit garbled but I get the impression that
the road is, or will be, the south boundary of the tract with the north half
of the road being part of the calculated area reducing the net usable about
one fourth of an acre (half width of 25 feet).
I'm long retired, pretty rusty and making assumptions here, so verify these
comments as well as you can before making a commitment.
