25.162 Documents to be filed with final map.

At the time of submitting the final map to the city engineer for checking, the subdivider shall also submit therewith the following:

(a) Traverse sheets: Traverse sheets in a form approved by the city engineer giving latitudes and departures and coordinates of the boundary of the subdivision and blocks and lots therein. Closures shall be within one foot to ten thousand feet.

(b) Improvement plans: Three (3) copies of the subdivision construction plans shall be submitted to the city engineer, and of all other improvements proposed to be installed by the subdivider in, or over, or under any street right-of-way easement or parcel of land dedicated by the map or previously dedicated, including the estimated cost hereof. All such plans shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the city engineer. Sheets shall be twenty-four inches (24") by thirty-six inches (36") with a two inch (2") left margin and a plan and profile drawn to a scale of one inch (1") equaling forty feet (40’). Details shall be shown at approximate scale.

(c) Design data: Design data, assumptions and computation for proper analysis shall be in accordance with sound engineering practice.

(d) Lot area computations: The subdivider shall furnish data to the department of planning and development indicating the area of each lot which is not rectangular in shape in the subdivision.

(e) Guaranty of title: The subdivider shall furnish to the city council a guaranty of title or letter from a competent title company, certifying that the names of all persons whose consent is necessary to pass a clear title to the land being subdivided and all acknowledgments thereto appear on the proper certificates and are correctly shown on said map.

(f) Improvement agreement: In the event drainage structures, grading, paving or other required improvements have not been completed prior to presentation of the final map, the subdivider shall file an agreement for the improvement as herein required and as may be further required by the city engineer, and the city council, and shall secure the performance thereof by a good and sufficient surety bond as outlined in sec. 6.12 (sec. 25.166.4) of this article (chapter).

(g) Preliminary soils report: A preliminary soils report, prepared by a civil engineer registered in this state and based upon adequate test borings shall be submitted to the city engineer for every subdivision. The preliminary soils report may also contain a seismic study if the city engineer determines or the tentative map approval requires such study be conducted.

A preliminary soils report may be waived by the city engineer providing the city engineer finds that due to the knowledge of the public works department of the City of Fairfield has as to the soils qualities of the soils in the subdivision, no preliminary analysis is necessary.

If the public works department of the City of Fairfield has knowledge of, or the preliminary soils report indicates, the presence of critically expansive soils or other soils problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects, a soils investigation of any or all of the lots in the subdivision may be required by the city engineer. Such soils investigation shall be done by a civil engineer registered in this state, who shall recommend the corrective action which is likely to prevent structural damage to each structure proposed to be constructed in the area where such soils problem exists.

The city council may approve the subdivision or portion thereof where such soils problems exist if it determines that the recommended action is likely to prevent structural damage to each structure to be constructed and a condition to the issuance of any building permit may require that the approved recommended action be incorporated in the construction of each structure.

(h) Agreement and bond: The agreement and bonds as specified in this ordinance.

(i) Deed restrictions: One copy of the deed restrictions shall be submitted to the department of planning and development.

(j) Owner certificate: A certificate, signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the real property subdivided, consenting to the preparation and recordation of the final map is required, except for those parties expressly exempted by section 66436 of the Map Act.

(k) Any other information required by tentative map approval to be submitted with the final map.
