WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                       Ch. 3

4.  TO DETERMINE DRAINAGE; OR

5.  SUBJECT TO ANY STANDARDS THAT THE
STATE OR A LOCAL AUTHORITY SETS, TO PROVIDE FOR A STORM DRAINAGE
SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A HYDRAULIC OR STRUCTURAL DESIGN OF
SYSTEM COMPONENTS; OR

(II) TO DESIGN AN OBJECT OR FEATURE THAT IS
INCIDENTAL AND NECESSARY TO A SERVICE DESCRIBED IN ITEM (I) OF
THIS PARAGRAPH.

(2) "PRACTICE LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE" DOES NOT
INCLUDE:

(I)  DESIGNING A STRUCTURE OR FACILITY THAT HAS
A SELF-CONTAINED PURPOSE AND ORDINARILY WOULD BE DESIGNED BY A
LICENSED ARCHITECT OR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER; OR

(II)  SURVEYING LAND OR PREPARING PLATS FOR
OFFICIAL APPROVAL OR RECORDATION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from the first and second
sentences of former Art. 56, § 271(d).

In paragraph (l)(i) of this subsection, the former
references to "investigation" and "research" are
deleted as included in the reference to any "other
professional service".

In paragraph (l)(i)l of this subsection, the former
reference to enhancing "naturalistic and aesthetic
values" is deleted as surplusage.

In paragraph (l)(ii) of this subsection, the former
reference to designing an object or feature "as may be
prescribed by local or State authorities" is deleted
as unnecessary. An object or feature that the State
or a local authority prescribes would be an object or
feature that is "necessary to a service described in
item (i) of this paragraph".

The third sentence of former Art. 56, § 271(d), which
provided that a licensed landscape architect is not
precluded from "performing any of the services
described in the first sentence of this subsection in
connection with settings, approaches, or environment
for buildings, structures, or facilities", is deleted
as surplusage.

The definition is stated in the infinitive form to
allow minor verb variations of the defined term
without taking these variations out of the scope of
the definition.
