In addition to any/all hardcopy submissions already required
of all map and plan materials currently being submitted to Borough
of Roseland, two copies of the digital data files outlined in the
submission time frame section shall be submitted to the appropriate
Borough of Roseland department, board or agency or official for each
project when required by said department, board or agency. A digital
graphics file containing the data outlined in ARTICLE II shall also
be submitted with each project. All files must be submitted in a CAD
native file format, (i.e, .dwg, .dgn, or .dxf file format, to name
a few) or in an Esri geodatabase native file format, (i.e., .shp,
.gdb, or .mxd file format, to name a few). Points, lines, polygons,
annotations and legends shall be represented in separate layers as
outlined in the minimum contents requirements section.
All electronic files must be created in New Jersey State Plane
Coordinate System North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83), in U.S. Survey
FEET. All files shall not be rotated, so that North faces up to the
top of the drawing. All digital files must georeference to available
digital mapping resource data from the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP), the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS)
and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to name just a
few. The geographical referencing process, known as georeferencing,
essentially ensures that the positioning of all geographical data
layers will be correctly referenced to the map projection of the New
Jersey State Plane Coordinate System for increased accuracy.
All linework shall connect at line end points. Overlaps, gaps
or dangles are not acceptable. Polygon objects, such as parcels or
other boundaries, shall be created from line segments, connecting
to adjacent linework at intersections. Single, closed polygons are
not to be used where coincidental boundaries may occur. All text shall
be clearly legible and not obscured by polygon boundaries/linework.
