Letters shall not be used to identify block or lot numbers.

C. The final map shall particularly define, delineate and designate all lots intended for sale or reserved for private purposes, and all parcels offered for dedication for any purpose, public or private, with all dimensions, boundaries and courses clearly shown and defined in every case.

F. Every sheet comprising the final map shall bear the scale, north point, legend, sheet number and number of sheets comprising the map.

G. Whenever the city engineer has established a system of coordinates, the survey for the final map shall be tied into such system.

J. The map shall show the side lines of all easements to which the lots are subject. The easements shall be clearly labeled and identified, and if already of record, the recorded reference shall be given. If any easement is not definitely located of record, a statement of such easement shall appear on the title sheet. Easements for storm drains, sewers, public utilities and other purposes shall be denoted by the fine dotted lines. The width of the easement and the lengths and bearings of the lines thereof and sufficient ties thereto, definitely to locate the easement with respect to the subdivision, shall be shown.

(Ord. 795 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 26-22)

As an alternative to the agreement to construct improvements, the subdivider, upon terms agreeable to the city council, may agree thereafter to initiate and consummate proceedings under an appropriate special assessment act for the financing of such improvements.

If the city council shall determine that the final map is not in conformity with the requirements of this title and applicable law, it shall disapprove such map, specifying its reasons therefor, and the city clerk shall, in writing, advise the subdivider and planning commission of such disapproval and of the reasons for such disapproval. Within thirty days after the city council has disapproved any map, the subdivider may file with the city council the map, altered to meet the objections of the city council. The time limit for filing an amended final map may be extended by mutual consent of the city council and the subdivider. If there are any changes which may be made on the final map at the time the same is considered by the city council so as to meet any objections made, the council may if it wishes, approve such map upon completion of these changes.

(Ord. 795 § 1 (part), 1974: prior code § 26-25)
