Job Responsibilities This position is responsible for the preparation of right-of-way plats, plans, legal descriptions, documents, and drawings related to land acquisition and condemnation.

Directly reporting to this position are one to three Plats and Plans Technicians, a seasonal survey crew, and consulting engineering firms. These various firms assist in surveying, engineering, and land acquisition plan assemblage. This position functions in a widely varied land use environment from strictly rural to highly urbanized. Some rapidly developing areas cause a declining availability of rights-of-way resulting in enormous increases in land cost. Development and urbanization create tremendous pressure for prompt action because the projects involved are highly visible and sensitive.
The incumbent provides right-of-way plans, plats, and legal descriptions used for the acquisition of rights-of-way. The incumbent provides consultants with advice on matters relating to the preparation of right-of-way plans. The incumbent will also be working in various stages with up to fifteen different consulting engineering firms. This position requires the incumbent to have the necessary experience and knowledge in the practice of land surveying. The incumbent will work with the Plats and Plans Manager.
S/he will be responsible for the preparation of plats, plans, and legal descriptions for all property needed for the department's construction projects. Typical problems involve correctly interpreting legal descriptions, retracement of property lines often based on obliterated or lost survey monuments, determining of property line locations differing from occupation lines, determining ownership lines from conflicting descriptions and record evidence, and analyzing plans for proposed construction parcels to ascertain that rights-of-way requirements can be revised or reduced to facilitate acquisition, determining whether adjacent land ownerships can be combined to reduce the number of acquisitions, and also resolving conflicts in parcel descriptions.
The most challenging aspect of this position is to ensure the accurate and complete portrayal and description of the properties to be acquired. This needs to be done to facilitate parcel appraisal and negotiations and avoid delays in acquisition and project construction. Another major challenge is the coordination of data from various sources in the reconciliation of original government surveys with subsequent land divisions and present-day occupation lines.
(Job Responsibilities continued) This position is responsible for preparing monument records and filing them with the proper authorities. The incumbent will personally direct and monitor the progress of right-of-way work, determining title needs, researching ownership records, and reviewing title commitments. The incumbent personally reviews all documents prepared under their direction. S/he schedules, monitors, and directs the work of the consulting engineering firms in their preparation of right-of-way plans, plats, and legal descriptions.
The incumbent analyzes and correlates right-of-way requirements, ownership, title evidence, field survey data, and will determine the location of property lines and record land monuments. S/he will also conduct research of land records as required. The incumbent will provide proper solutions and judgments through experience that will have impact on the ownership to a tract of land by the department, and private property owners. The incumbent will perform occasional field surveys and staking of existing and proposed rights-of-way. The incumbent accomplishes responsibilities with the aid of one to three Plats and Plans Technicians, who prepare right-of-way plans, plats, legal descriptions, court exhibits, and related material.
S/he performs computations using conventional methods and computer usage and furnishes field land survey information. Seasonal staff of one to two engineering technicians are utilized in various aspects of land surveying work. This is necessary to complete all responsibilities for acquisition of rights-of-way. The incumbent is required to exercise considerable independent judgment by using prior knowledge in evaluating title evidence and describing parcels to be acquired.

The incumbent works closely with personnel from the central Bureau of Land Acquisition, all district bureaus, various consultant engineering firms, title companies, utility engineers, land surveyors, landowners, attorneys, real estate appraisers, county, and local officials in resolving problems related to rights-of-way requirements, recording of deeds, and accuracy of plats and descriptions.
The effectiveness of this position is measured by the complete and accurate completion of right-of-way plats, plans, and legal descriptions to permit the acquisition of right-of-way in accordance with set schedules. For effective performance, the incumbent must have extensive knowledge in land surveying practices and how they may be affected by changes in the Illinois Compiled Statutes.
