Attached are the latest editions of the LFUCG Standard Drawings (updated 2008) for construction of storm sewers, sanitary sewers, streets and roads in Lexington-Fayette County. These drawings are to replace any and all other standard drawings previously issued by the Division of Engineering. These drawings became effective February 2000. Any project dedicated to public use must comply with or contain references to these Standard Drawings or revisions thereof where applicable.
Curb Box Inlets
With approval of the Design Engineer for new developments, straight tops may be used in lieu of radial tops for 10' curb box inlets located within a radius. If the straight tops are used, the front corners of the tops should fall in line with the radius. Under no circumstances should any part of the curb box extend into the sidewalk area.
Subdivision Plan Digital Submission
The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) will begin a pilot program requiring all subdivision plan drawings/plats be submitted in digital format. This requirement will be in addition to the existing hardcopy submission requirements. The intent is that the required hardcopy and digital submission be produced from the same digital source without significant modification. The hardcopy will continue to be the official document!
The digital submission requirement is part of a larger initiative to allow more efficient and effective means of providing land-based information to key LFUCG departments and services. The submission off this cadastral-based data in digital format will facilitate the accurate and efficient updates to our government-wide geographic information system.
Survey Control Points
Survey Control points for Fayette County can be accessed interactively through the LFUCG Internet Map Server. Monuments placed by Federal, State and Local government agencies are available via this site including the Urban County Government’s GPS control points. All GPS Control points are served with an accompanying sheet specifically describing the monument/azimuth location. To access this information navigate here.
