SUBJECT: Land Surveying Services for Canada Larga Land & Livestock LLC Ranch and Sulpher
Mountain land &Livestock LLC Ranch (“Site” , or “parcels”, or “Ranches”) APN’s 035-0-220-025, 0075,
085, 095, 105,125, 035-0-250-025 & 035 We are propose to provide the following professional land
surveying services for the above referenced property.
ASSUMPTIONS
This proposal is based on the following assumptions and qualifications. All agency fees (if any) will be
paid by others.
If any other services are determined to be necessary, a separate authorization will be provided for those
services.
SCOPE OF WORK
I propose to perform the following services:
Comment [S1]: add in all APN’s for SMLLC and
CLLL
2. 1. Research - Survey I will research available Ventura County survey records to obtain copies of recorded
survey maps, field notes and deeds as well as other available information necessary to establish control for
the survey effort and the scope of work herein.
3. 2. Compilation Map I will compile the pertinent record information into sketch form for the field work
efforts. This map will assist me in locating existing monuments necessary to establish the control for the
survey tasks. This is expected to take several office days to fully complete it but can be done in chunks to
facilitate the priorities. This effort is needed for all field work that involves boundary locations including road
right of ways and existing property lines of the exterior boundary.
4. 3. Field Survey I will perform a field survey to physically locate all existing monuments near or on the
subject Ranches that may be needed to establish the boundaries and other work herein. I will locate
Canada Larga Rd, the Right of Way, the gates and cattle guards crossing it, the creek, pastures and
pasture fencing, structures and buildings on both sides of Canada Larga Rd, and the locations of existing
features within the Equestrian Center, all of which will be reflected on two Topographic Maps and Surveys.
The Canada Larga Road portion will not have the Equestrian Center reflected on it and vice versa, they will
be two separate Topo/Surveys maps. The Topo maps will be based on a vertical control from a local
Benchmark. After the initial control is established for the Right of Way pipe fencing along Canada Larga
Rd, we will then focus on the rest of the work, including the Equestrian Center. I will set permanent corners
for the right of way and any necessary temporary staking and or markers for the fence builders. Next will
be the property lines of the westerly lines of APN 035-0-220-105 and the northerly line of APN 035-0-220-
095. In order to establish those two lines, it is expected that some of the rest of the boundaries would need
to be recovered first, namely portions of the Rancho Line, since the deeds were written from them.
Included in the field surveys would be establishing the entire exterior boundary of the subject Ranches and
setting missing corners. Also, setting of the new and existing corners of the lot line adjustments when they
are completed, or near completed. This portion of the project will be done as convenient and may not be
completed until completion of other tasks.
5. 4. Boundary Analysis A boundary survey of the Ranches will be performed in accordance with the
Professional Land Surveyor’s Act requirements. I will analyze that data and establish the boundary location
of the Ranches and lots, existing and to be adjusted, relative to the recovered monumentation.
6. 5. Record of Survey All the found and set corners will need to be shown on a Record of Survey as
required by the County and Professional Land Surveyors’ Act, for each Ranch and parcel (lot). I will
prepare a Record of Survey Map for each Ranch, indicating the property boundary and all the retained
existing and newly established lot lines. The maps will be submitted to the Ventura County Surveyor's
office for review and recordation. These maps will provide a permanent record of the boundary survey, the
location of Canada Larga Rd and right of way, and the new lot lines. The maps will then be recorded with
the Ventura County Recorder’s Office reflecting the monumented boundaries after it goes through plan
checks. This portion of the work is long term and will not be finalized until the last lot line adjustment has
been approved or processed concurrently with the last Lot Line Adjustment application (LLA).
7. 6. Final Monument I will set final boundary monuments and refer to the physical description of what was
set on the Record of Survey Map that we will create.
8. 7. Lot Line Adjustments (LLA) I will work with you and make recommendations to determine the best
configuration, size and location for the lots to be created by the LLA applications. This includes field visits
and printing USGS and other publicly available Topographical and photographical material, at various
scales, to review, study and evaluate the existing and potential lots, house sites, access, views, water
availability, drainage topographic usability, and other issues and considerations germane to lot creation in
general and in the County of Ventura. I will prepare legal descriptions and exhibits for the proposed
configuration of new lot lines. I will prepare and process everything necessary through the County Planning
Department. The lot line adjustments can be accomplished with 2 LLA’s, provided we are dealing with 4 or
less lots per application. Depending on the configuration, we may be able to process them concurrently if
an existing interior line is to remain, otherwise it would be done one as soon as possible after the other.
This proposal includes 2 LLA applications within the cost.
