ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys-Building height

摘要

We are trying to determine what to report on our ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey in connection with Table A, Item 7c "building height" in a specific case we have encountered. Our City's zoning ordinance says that in the case of gable roofs, which the site we are surveying contains, the building height is measured from the "curb level" to the "mean height level between eaves and ridge." However, in our viewpoint, reporting the difference between a point at the base of a building and the highest point on the roof is what most people would consider the "building height" under Table A item 7c. We are concerned about putting the City's definition on the survey map without extensive definition. But even then, with a multi-building site and extensive parking lots and driveways, what curb line should we reference?
