State Law reference— Monument standards and requirements for placement, Government Code §§ 66495, 66496.

Each final map of a subdivision or approved record of survey map of a subdivision shall show durable monuments found or set at or near each boundary corner and at intermediate points, approximately 1,000 feet apart, or at such lesser distances as may be made necessary by topography or culture to ensure accuracy in the reestablishment of any point or line without unreasonable difficulty. The precise portion and the character of each such monument shall be shown on such map. Such durable monument shall be not less substantial than an iron pipe of a two-inch outside diameter, not less than 2½ feet in length, with plug and tack, and set at least two feet into the ground or of such other character and stability as may be approved by the county surveyor and the city engineer. For the purposes of this division, a lead and tack set in permanent concrete or masonry shall be considered as a durable monument. The approximate elevation of the top of each such monument with respect to the surface of the ground shall be shown on the map.

(Code 1971, § 18.20.010)

Wherever, in the opinion of the county surveyor or city engineer, a monument is necessary to mark the intersection of two streets in a subdivision, such monument shall be set at the intersection of the centerlines of the streets, unless in the opinion of the county surveyor or the city engineer the conditions at such intersection point make preferable the setting of the monument at a different point. Each such monument shall be not less durable and substantial than the following:

(1) In asphaltic concrete or in concrete pavements, a lead and tack.

(2) In unsurfaced, graveled or oiled surfaces, a two-inch iron pipe set not less than 12 inches below the surface or at such depth as may be approved by the county surveyor or the city engineer.

(3) In bituminous macadam pavements, a spike not less than six inches long.

(Code 1971, § 18.20.020)

(a) For each centerline intersection monument set in a subdivision, the engineer or surveyor under whose supervision the survey has been made shall furnish to the county surveyor and city engineer a set of notes showing clearly the ties between such monument and a sufficient number (normally four) of durable distinctive reference points or monuments. Such reference points or monuments may be leads and tacks in sidewalks or two-inch by two-inch stakes set back of the curbline and below the surface of the ground or such substitute therefor as appears to be not more likely to be disturbed.

(b) Such set of notes shall be of such quality, form and completeness and shall be on paper of such quality and size as may be necessary to conform to the standardized office records of the county surveyor and city engineer. All such notes shall be indexed and filed by the county surveyor and city engineer as a part of the permanent public records of their respective offices.

(Code 1971, § 18.20.030)

All monuments set as required in this division shall be permanently and visibly marked or tagged with the registration or license number of the engineer or surveyor under whose supervision the survey was made.

(Code 1971, § 18.20.040)

If any or all of the monuments required in this division to be set are to be set subsequent to the recordation of the map, as provided in the Subdivision Map Act, the map shall show clearly which monuments are to be so set.

(Code 1971, § 18.20.050)

All monuments required by this division shall be subject to inspection and approval by the city engineer in conjunction with his checking of the map.

(Code 1971, § 18.20.060)
