in effect16.16.060 - Survey Requirements.
A. Survey Required. A complete and accurate survey of the land to be subdivided shall be made by a professional land surveyor in accordance with the standard practices and principles of land surveying.
B. Error Limit for Traverse. The traverse of the exterior boundaries of the subdivision and of each block must close within a limit of error of one foot to ten thousand (10,000) feet.
C. Tying in Monuments, Lines. All centerlines of streets, property lines, monuments, alleys and easements within, or adjacent to, the subdivision shall be tied into the survey.
D. Monuments.
1. Monuments shall be set in accordance with the recorded subdivision maps so that the survey, or any part thereof, may be readily retraced. Such monuments shall be set at:
a. All angle points in subdivision boundary;
b. All angle points of tangency and points of curvature in subdivision boundary;
c. All street centerline intersections;
d. All angle points of tangency and points of curvature in street centerlines;
e. All intersections of street centerlines with subdivision boundary;
f. All section corners, quarter corners and sixteenth corners;
g. All lot corners must be set with a Type III monument. In those instances where off-site improvements exist (i.e., rear property wall and front curb) that make it impractical to set a Type III monument, a nail and tag identifying the surveyor may be set in the wall at the back property corner and a sawcut may be made in the top of the front curb at the prolongation of the side property line.
2. All monuments shall conform to city specifications and standard drawings.
