Any surveyors here?? Question....

[fortyshooter]

Have been trying to figure out what the pin to pin distance is in a straight line like if using a range detector to verify
property line location.
Pictured is my copy of information needed from plat showing the front property line specs giving length between the pins and also Radius info. The curve is due to the road
frontage at property line.

Which figures here would be visual a straight line distance between the two pins... "L" or "C" or something else?
I figured "L" would be the walk off distance if using a distance wheel and maybe "C" would be line of sight.

Thanks for any help!

Did college study and 2 years on the job while in college (a long time ago).
C should be your line of sight.
However with the angle and radius given, the L and C are a few feet different than shown in your diagram.
I can't tell for sure what is meant in the diagram for the minutes part of the angle. If I treat it as .0328 minutes like it's written, C calculates to 456.43 ft.
[update: did the math backwards starting with 457.32 ft for C. Then A comes out 29' 3.28".]

Hardly professional. All the work I did required review and sign off of a licensed civil PE. I had several do-overs.
