5. Unless waived by the Jackson County surveyor pursuant to ORS 92.050(10) (1989 Oregon Laws, Chapter 772, Section 8), if the subdivision plat is within one-half mile of an established geodetic control monument, approved by the National Geodetic Survey or approved by and filed with the county surveyor, the surveyor submitting the subdivision plat must, by field survey according to Federal Geodetic Control Committee guidelines for third order Class II, show the measured angles and distances from the geodetic control monument to the initial point of a subdivision or condominium or to a monumented boundary corner of a partition. If there is an azimuth mark for the geodetic control monument or if there is another geodetic control monument that is intervisible to the primary geodetic control monument, the bearings shall be based, if practicable, on the bearings between the geodetic control monument and the azimuth mark or the intervisible geodetic control monument;

6. All other monuments found or established in making the survey of the subdivision or required to be installed by provisions of this title;

F. Tract boundary lines, right-of-way (and center lines) of streets, lot and block lines with dimensions, bearings and deflection angles and radii, arcs, points of curvature and tangent bearings.

Error of closure shall be within the limit of one foot in 10,000 feet. No ditto marks shall be used. The area of each lot or parcel shall be shown;

G. In addition to showing bearings in degrees, minutes and seconds of a degree and distances in feet and hundredths of a foot, the following curve information shall be shown on the plat either on the face of the map or in a separate table: (1) arc length; (2) chord length; (3) chord bearing; (4) radius; and (5) central angle;

H. The width of the portion of streets being dedicated, the width of any existing rights-of-way, (and the widths each side of the center line).

I. The location, dimensions and purposes of all recorded and proposed public and private easements, denoted by fine dotted lines clearly identified and, if already of record, a reference to the record. The widths of the easement and the lengths and bearings of the lines thereof and sufficient ties to such easement to definitely locate the easement with respect to the subdivision must be shown. If the easement is being dedicated by the map, the owner’s certificates of dedication shall make reference to it, or include it in the terms of such certificates;

J. Lot numbers, if any, beginning with the number “1” in each block, numbered consecutively;

K. Block numbers, if any, beginning with the number “1” and continuing consecutively without omission or duplication throughout the subdivision. The numbers shall be solid, of sufficient size and thickness to stand out and so placed as not to obliterate any figure. Block numbers in an addition to a subdivision of the same name shall be a continuation of the numbering of the original subdivision;

16.16.030 Technical plat review.

Upon receipt by the city, the final plat and other data shall be reviewed by the planning director, who shall examine them to determine that the subdivision as shown is substantially the same as it appeared on the approved tentative plan, that there has been compliance with provisions of the law, city development plans, this title and that the plat is technically correct. The city engineer may make such checks in the field as he may desire to verify that the plat is correct and he may enter the property for this purpose. If the city engineer shall determine that there has not been compliance, he shall advise the subdivider of the changes or additions. When the city planning director, with the advice of the city engineer, determines that the final plat is in full conformance with all applicable laws, regulations, and conditions, he shall approve it with his signature. However, this approval shall not relieve the subdivider of the need to comply with any further or additional requirements or conditions for recording of the plat, as may be set by the county clerk or county surveyor. [Ord. 9-91 § 1 (Exh. A § 15), 1990; Ord. SB/PS-86-1 § 1 (Exh. A § 15), 1986; Ord. 9-57 § 1 (Exh. A § 15), 1981].

16.16.040 Filing of final plat.

Approval of the final plat by the city as provided by this regulation shall be conditioned on its prompt recording. The subdivider shall, without delay, submit the final plat for signatures of other public officials required by law. Approval of the final plat shall be null and void if the plat is not recorded within 30 days after the date of signature by the city planning director. [Ord. 9-91 § 1 (Exh. A § 16), 1990; Ord. SB/PS-86-1 § 1 (Exh. A § 16), 1986; Ord. 9-57 § 1 (Exh. A § 17), 1981].
