55-1701. DEFINITIONS. The following definitions shall apply to terms used in this chapter: (1) "Board" means the Idaho board of licensure of professional engineers and professional land surveyors. (2) "Idaho plane coordinate system" or "IPCS" means the system, and any successor system, of map projections specific to the state of Idaho maintained by NGS. (3) […]
55-1702. IDAHO PLANE COORDINATE SYSTEM. (1) The board shall, by rule, provide and prescribe the information that defines the currently accepted system of plane coordinates of the IPCS. (2) The most recent system of plane coordinates that has been established by the NGS based on the NSRS, adopted by the board, and designated as the […]
55-1703. PLANE COORDINATES. (1) The plane coordinates to be used in expressing the position or location of a point in the appropriate zone of the IPCS shall consist of two (2) distances expressed in the units of measure used by the NGS at the time the SPCS is published. The east x-coordinate shall give the […]
55-1704. ZONE NAMING AND DOCUMENTS REPORTING COORDINATES WITHIN MULTIPLE ZONES. Any document containing coordinates of the IPCS will include, at a minimum, the datum, adjustment, epoch, and zone names as defined by the NGS. When any document reports coordinates of points that lie within multiple coordinate zones, the coordinates of all points shall refer to […]
55-1705. STATED OR IMPLIED ACCURACY. The accuracy of coordinates shall be as stated in the document containing the coordinates. The expression of coordinates to decimals of the units used may not be construed as a statement of expected accuracy or reliability, unless so stated in the document containing the coordinates. Statements of accuracy must be […]
55-1706. GEODETIC COORDINATES. The official geodetic datums to which geodetic coordinates, including but not limited to latitude, longitude, ellipsoid height or orthometric height, are referenced within the state of Idaho shall be those defined by the NGS. History: [55-1706, added 2021, ch. 174, sec. 11, p. 485.]
55-1707. NONAUTHORITATIVE PLANE OR GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATES. The provisions of this chapter shall not be construed to prohibit the appropriate use of coordinates from nonauthoritative sources or coordinates based on alternative datums and geodetic reference networks. However, such coordinates shall be clearly identified as nonauthoritative or alternative to the IPCS and documented in such a way […]
55-1708. SUPPLEMENTAL COORDINATE DESCRIPTIONS. (1) Whenever coordinates based on the IPCS are used to describe any boundary or right in real property, which in the same document or another document of record is also described by reference to any subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public land surveys or the lines or corners […]
55-1709. DESCRIPTION BY COORDINATE NOT MANDATORY. Nothing contained in this chapter shall require any lessee, purchaser, or mortgagee of real property or any right in real property to rely wholly on a land description, any part of which depends exclusively upon coordinates of the IPCS. History: [55-1709, added 1967, ch. 275, sec. 9, p. 771; […]
55-1710. MODIFIED COORDINATES. Coordinates within the IPCS that have been modified for any purpose or coordinates within non-IPCS systems shall have: (1) The qualifier "MODIFIED" added to the datum, adjustment, epoch, and zone reference. The document containing the coordinates shall include any datum adjustment, scale, elevation, or combined factors applied together with the origin of […]
