Subcommittee Charge
- Work with Office of the CIO,
legal counsel, KYOGI and the members of the Standards and Policy committee
to interpret KRS 1.020 and the statute’s impact on projections in which
the KY Statewide Digital Basemap should be collected and/or disseminated.
- Work with the GIAC membership,
the Office of the CIO, and KYOGI, and the GIS technical community in Kentucky
and Nationally, to define the issues around the need for a one-zone projection
for raster data layers of the KY Statewide Digital Basemap.
- Work with KYOGI and the GIS
technical community in Kentucky and nationally to identify a cost-effective
and spatially appropriate one-zone projection in which to collect and/or
disseminate the raster data layers of the KY Statewide Digital Basemap.
Status
of the Single Zone Coordinate System
The GIAC Single Zone Subcommittee
met on various occasions in the fall of 2000. These meetings resulted in the
development of the Kentucky Single Zone Coordinate System of 1983, which was
presented to and adopted by the GIAC during their full meeting on December
14, 2000. The subcommittee identified the following tasks required for the
successful adoption and widespread use of the Single Zone projection:
- The promulgation of an administrative
regulation officially defining and adopting the Kentucky Single Zone Coordinate
System of 1983 as a recognized projection scheme for representing spatial
data located within and reasonably near the boundary of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky.
- Status: This task was accomplished
by the promulgation of 10
KAR 5:010 on August 15, 2001.
- The adoption of the Kentucky
Single Zone Coordinate System by the National Geodetic Survey and the United
States Geological Survey for use in their mapping and data products.
- Status: The National Geodetic
Survey has adopted the Kentucky Single Zone Coordinate System as State
Plane Zone 1600. The Kentucky Single Zone is now published as the primary
system in Kentucky for NGS data sheets as designated by "KY1Z".
- The inclusion of the Kentucky
Single Zone Coordinate System of 1983 into the existing Kentucky Coordinate
System of 1983 as defined by KRS
1:020 through legislative action.
- Status: The GIAC has encouraged
the Kentucky Association of Professional Surveyors to lobby for legislative
action revising KRS 1:020
to include the Kentucky Single Zone Coordinate System of 1983. This task
is pending as of April 19, 2002.
