the side/dimension remaining as before at 20.00 m Explanation: As you say a bit strange. Does the rest of the doc give any other indication? |

peer agreement (net): +2with the height still under the old system at 20.00 m ASL Explanation: This seems to be talking about the 'old system' of expressing altitudes — I think at some point the sea-level datum may have been changed. If you Google 'orthométrique' as I did, and then look at the various references to IGN etc;, you should be able to find out more. From the location of this property, you may be able to see if this is plausible — look at spot heighhts round about, and assuming it isn't up in the mountains! Note that in some of these sorts of dimensions, it might refer to the height at ground level OR conceivably at basement level — this may or may not be made clear by the rest of your document! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 heures (2014-09-05 06:42:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, as it's 'au-dessus de...', you'd need to read that as 'above the level still expressed under the old system as 20.00 m' |
