3.24 (Tab 34) Field Notes by D.W. Lambden O.L.S.
These are preliminary field notes for a survey involving the subject Road Allowances which was
never completed. I spoke with O.L.S. Lambden about this and he has been unable to locate all of
his records, but the field notes indicate the a traverse using a total station as well as ties to
various land features. They offer no guidance as to how O.L.S. Lambden thought the Road
Allowances in question should be surveyed.
Included with the field notes are some control sketches and a co-ordinate list for all of control
network established using GPS. There is no indication of the system, so I assume co-ordinates
are in NAD83 (original). One of these points coincides with a survey monument we tied in at the
Jackson Point boat launch, and confirms the elevation we have determined through the Precise
Point Positioning Service of Geodetic Surveys of Canada.
3.25 (Tabs 13 and 14) Surveys of Lots 6 and 7, Reg’d. Plan 779 by J.W. Nicholson O.L.S.
These two surveys marked the corners of Lots 6 and 7, The evidence found and method used for
the survey of Lot 7 are not shown, in keeping with the practice at that time, but survey
monuments were set for the NE and SE corners of Lot 7, while witness monuments were set
1.52m (5 feet) easterly from the NW and SW corners. It appears that O.L.S. Nicholson set plan
bearing and distance for the westerly boundary. The plan shows the lot being bounded exactly in
accordance with Reg’d. Plan 779, but no comment is made about the status of the beach area
lying between the indicated boundary of Lot 7 and the water’s edge of Nottawasaga Bay.
The survey of Lot 6 is identical other than being in the format of a Surveyor’s Real Property
Report. An additional survey monument is reported for the actual NW corner of Lot 6, in
addition to the witness monument. I did not obtain the field notes for this survey, but I suspect
that both the NW and SW corners of Lot 6 were set during a preliminary phase, and then shown
as found on the plan, since the dwelling is shown as being under construction. Again, O.L.S.
Nicholson shows the lot as only extending to the monumented line by the registered plan, with no
comment about ownership of the beach area. The plan indicates a distance of 10.7m from the
monumented line to what he calls the ‘present tree line’, which I assume O.L.S. Nicholson is
equating to the ‘high water mark’ as indicated on Reg’d. Plan 779.
3.26 (Tabs 51 and 52) Provisional BA Plan by Ronald Stewart O.L.S.
This is a survey to confirm the boundaries of Lots 42 through 45, Reg’d. Plan 779, in the
subdivision immediately north of the Road Allowance between Lots 18 and 19. There are two
significant factors from this survey:
1) O.L.S. Stewart established the easterly boundary of the 20.12m reservation for road in the
Crown Grant to John Goesmann, based on an estimated elevation for the water’s edge at the
time of the Grant as determined by David Lambden in some research he had undertaken for the
Township of Tiny;
