QUARTERLY REPORT BY County Auditor and Clerk to the Board, H. D. Carson, Jr., appeare H. D. CARSON, JR. before the Board and presented the Quarterly Report for the year ending June 30, 1975, and discussed with the Board.

MIKE DONOVAN, COUNTY Mike Donovan, County Surveyor, appeared before the Board to dis- ISURVEYOR cuss the county -wide tax mapping and presented a proposal entitle "PROPOSAL FOR HARNETT COUNTY TAX MAPS" and it follows: Tax Maps- -What are they? They are visual depiction of the land on '+ which we live. As the Tax Supervisor stated two weeks ago at aboard meeting. Sampson County has them, Cumberland County has them with an Engineering staff to do the research and drafting, Wake County has them, and Robinson County is in the process of securing maps now commercially. There are two ways to secure these maps: one being to pay an aerial': photogrammetric firm to fly the county and produce the maps. (Small scale maps 1" = 300'. for rural areas; 1" = 100' for urban areas; and large scale maps in towns. Topography can also be secured.) The other way is to make copies of the present ASCS mapsand -begin to put the information on them. The property owners names, farm numbers, and tax office information can be placed on the maps by Pace or man power workers taking about six months to one year part time. There can be no long -range planning of any kind done without maps. The county water system had to be drawn from compiled maps at a large expens to the county. The county landfills are done on an on- the - ground basis rather than from maps and the new schools and the accompanying sites were done the same way. I feel this county in the near future will have county land plan- ning, county zoning and a county subdivision and trailer park ordinances. The County Board of Health, Soils Conservation Service, Board of Education, Tax Department, the Municipalities of the County, and the Public Utilities in the county, as well as all attorneys, land surveyors, and the general public would benefit from having these maps. They are the basic precept of all growth; whether industrial, residential or commercial. As it now stands, there is no co- ordination of mapping and surveys being produced in this county.. I propose that the county surveyor be allowe to compile in an unrecorded county surveyor file, for public use, the infor- mation contained in recorded maps in the Register of Deeds office; copies of maps of currently practicing surveyors (Walter Lee Johnson, C. H. Blue, W. R. Lambert, W. J. Lambert, & C. W. Russum); copies of my maps which span back to 1945; copies of maps of 0. S. Yound and G. R. Johnson (deceased surveyors);; copies of maps contained in Attorney Stephenson's office in Angier; copies of pertinent maps that South River EMC and CP &L; and copies of Campbell College, Burlington Industries, and the Municipalities (Subdivi- sions, estate divisions, and major boundary line surveys.) All of this mass of information would be compiled and placed on the tax maps themselves to be placed in the Tax Supervisor's office. All the additional maps and information would be transferred to the Tax Dept. at such time as a full ti Engineering. staff was created. This is an attempt to make public and usuable the mass of small bits of information to create an overall view of an area of land. This information would tie in exactly with the present county soils survey being conducted. If In the future, a complete commercial set of tax maps will be necessa y but everything that we do now will decrease that cost by a large percent an will be transferrable directly to them. r have personally been accumulating maps for ten years for this purpose and hope you see fit to allow me to pro ceed with all or part of this program. /s/ Wm.
