KRS 1.010: Legislative intent in establishing Kentucky State Plane Coordinate System.

It is the intent of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky that KRS

1.020 shall not eliminate the existing methods of describing points on, within, or abov e

the surface of the earth, as in metes and bounds or, in western Kentucky, the public land

system, but rather to enhance these existing methods and establish a conformity for

defining and stating the geographic positions or locations of points on, within, or above

the surface of the earth and retracement purposes.
