General. A parcel map shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. It shall be a map legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record in black on tracing cloth or polyester base film, including affidavits, certificates and acknowledgments, except that such certificates may be legibly stamped or printed upon the map with opaque ink. If ink is used on polyester-base film, the ink surface shall be coated with a suitable substance to assure permanent legibility. The size of each sheet shall be eighteen (18) inches by twenty-six (26) inches. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one (1) inch. The scale of the map shall be large enough to show all details clearly and enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The particular number of the sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and its relation to each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown. The exterior boundary of the land included within the parcel or parcels being created shall be indicated by distinctive symbols and clearly so designated. The border must not obliterate figures or other data, but it must be dark enough to show on a normal reproduction.

Titles. The title sheet shall contain the title "Parcel Map" and a subtitle giving a general description of the property being mapped by reference to maps which have previously been recorded or by reference to the plat of any United States survey. References to tracts and divisions of land in the description must be spelled out and worded identically with original records, and references to book and page numbers must be complete.

(Ord. No. 3.22, § 1, 4/12/22.)

The parcel map shall be based on a field survey made in conformance with the Land Surveyor's Act or compiled from recorded or filed data when survey information exists on filed maps to sufficiently locate and retrace the exterior boundary lines of the parcel map and when the location of at least one (1) of these boundary lines can be established from an existing monumented line.

In either of the above cases, each line dividing a parcel shall have iron pipes set at all points of intersection of lines and at the beginning and end of curves.

The parcel map shall contain a statement by the engineer or surveyor responsible for the preparation of the map stating that all monuments or iron pipes are of the character and occupy the positions indicated or that they will be set in those positions on or before a specified date.

If dedications or offers of dedications are made by separate instrument, such dedications or offers of dedication shall be recorded concurrently with, or prior to, the parcel map being filed for record.
