In addition, I have been made aware of the potential impact of signing the waiver including (1) the possible need for a future survey as a result of physical improvements to the property, such as fence, addition, deck, pool, or shed; and (2) the potential inability of the ultimate user to identify the actual boundary of the property which could result in a boundary dispute with an adjoining property owner and/or property improvements not accurately situated on my/our property. Therefore: The right to have corner markers set is hereby waived, and Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. is directed to perform the land survey without the setting of corner markers as provided by the regulation N.J.A.C. 13:40-5.2 of the State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.

SURVEYOR CERTIFICATION: I hereby certify that I have: 1.) Advised the ultimate user of the impact of signing the corner marker waiver, which shall include, but not be limited to, the possible need for a future survey as a result of physical improvements to the property and the potential inability of the ultimate user to identify the actual boundary of the property; 2.) Reviewed the waiver to ensure that it was properly signed by the ultimate user and witnessed by a person other than a land surveyor;
ultimate user to identify the actual boundary of the property; 2.)
