     (b) When it is of a preliminary nature;

     (c) When a map is in preparation for recording or shall have been recorded in the county under any local subdivision or platting law or ordinance;

     (d) When it is a retracement of boundaries of property or parcels shown on a recorded subdivision or short subdivision plat, or record of survey map, provided that no material variance is found with the recorded information, no encroachments are found, and sufficient original or replacement monuments are found to establish the property corners, shown thereon, within acceptable standards.  For purposes of this exemption, a "material discrepancy" is defined as a significant difference from the dimensions of record.
