Digital Submittal Requirements


1.0 Purpose

The Village of Gurnee Digital Submission Requirements specifies the format of all digital data submitted in accordance with the Village of Gurnee Subdivision Ordinance which calls for plats and plans submitted for new subdivisions to be compatible with the Village’s Geographic Information System (GIS). It is the intent of these requirements to:

1) Assist in the implementation of the Village’s GIS through the inclusion of new developments/subdivisions requiring building permits and other services related to the associated public improvements made to the new subdivision/development.

2) To provide data that meets accuracy standards required for new parcels and infrastructure improvements consistent with the Village’s geodetic control network.

3) To provide information necessary to maintain the Computer Aided Dispatch system for emergency 911calls (future).

2.0 Geodetic Control

The Village of Gurnee will make available all Geodetic Control information to be used for survey purposes. All coordinate values for these survey points shall be in Illinois State Plane System using the North American Datum (NAD83), Illinois East Zone 1201. All measurements shall be in US Survey Feet. For more documentation, including station descriptions, of the Village’s Geodetic Control network, click on the Survey Monuments link under the Engineering Department section of the Village of Gurnee website (http://www.gurnee.il.us/engineering/index.html) or request this report in writing from the Village of Gurnee Engineering Department.

The surveyor or engineer preparing the plans shall tie the boundary into at least two of the above mentioned survey control network. Positional accuracy of any digital submittal should be +/- 3 ft. The basis of bearing for the plans must be in NAD83 coordinate system.

3.0 Data Formats

In addition to the final plats, plans, and as-built drawings submitted in hard copy format, a digital data file shall be provided to the Village in one of the following formats:

DGN (Microstation design file)
DXF (AutoCAD drawing exchange file)
DWG (AutoCAD drawing file)

All digital files must be mapped to scale and submitted to the Village on 3.5" floppy disk, CD-ROM, or via e-mail.

4.0 Data Layering Requirements

In order to evaluate the accuracy and promote the efficient use of the data in the Village’s GIS, digital file layering has been standardized. The digital data shall use the following layering scheme:
