SURVEY AND MONUMENTS

16.12.010 Survey.

A.    An accurate and complete survey shall be made of land to be subdivided.

B.    A traverse sheet in a form approved by the city engineer, giving latitudes, departures and coordinates, and showing the mathematical closure, together with complete sets of blue line or black and white check prints of the final map, shall be submitted to the city engineer for checking and approval. The traverse of the exterior boundaries of the tract and of each block, when computed from field measurements of the ground, must close within a limit of error of one foot to ten thousand feet of perimeter before balancing survey.

C.    Wherever the city engineer has established a system of coordinates, then the survey shall be tied into such system.

D.    All monuments, property lines, centerlines of streets, alleys and easements, adjoining or within the tract, shall be tied into the survey. (Ord. 35 § 1 (part), 1972: prior code § 10-106.010)

16.12.020 Monuments.

A.    Monuments shall meet all of the requirements of the city.

B.    Where the exterior boundaries of the subdivision are existing street lines and on all interior street lines of the subdivision, the engineer or surveyor shall set monuments in the street areas, preferably on the street centerline, and located so as to determine the street lines bounding each block. Due consideration shall be given to visibility of monuments, one from another, for the purpose intended.

C.    Monuments may be set after approval of the final map, but not later than the time of completion of subdivision improvements, provided a cash deposit or approved bond in an amount set by the city engineer is filed with the city, guaranteeing such work.

D.    All monuments and their location shall be subject to inspection and approval by the city engineer.

E.    Redwood hubs, each two inches square in cross section and not less than twelve inches in length, shall be driven flush with the surface of the ground at all lot corners, angle points and curve points where no monuments are set and in each case the exact corner shall be marked by a metal tack. (Ord. 35 § 1 (part), 1972: prior code § 10-106.020)
