Chapter 16.14 — CORRECTIONS AND AMENDMENTS OF MAPS

After a final or parcel map is filed in the office of the county recorder, it may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map (G.C. 66469):

A.

To correct an error in any course or distance shown thereon;

B.

To show any course or distance that was omitted therefrom;

C.

To correct an error in the description of the real property shown on the map;

D.

To indicate monuments set after the death, disability, or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibilities for setting monuments;

E.

To show the proper location of any monument which has been changed in location, or character, or originally was shown at the wrong location or incorrectly as to its character;

F.

To correct any other type of map error or omission as approved by the town engineer, which does not affect any property right. Errors and omissions may include, but need not be limited to, lots and numbers, acreage, street names and identification of adjacent record maps. Error does not include changes in courses or distances from which an error is not discernible from the date shown on the final or parcel map;

G.

To make modifications when there are changes which make any or all of the conditions of the map no longer appropriate or necessary and that the modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property, and if the modifications do not alter any right, title, or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map. The modification shall be set for public hearing by the town engineer or planning commission according to Section 16.07.030. The town engineer or planning commission shall confine the hearing to consideration of, and action on, the proposed modification. (Ord. 203 §2(part), 1990)

The amending map or certificate of correction shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer or licensed land surveyor. The form and contents of the amending map shall conform to the requirements of Section 16.07.080 for a final map, or Section 16.08.110 for a parcel map. The certificate of correction shall set forth in detail the corrections made and show the names of the present fee owners of the property affected by the correction. (Ord. 203 §2(part), 1990)

The amending map or certificate of correction, complete as to final form, shall be submitted to the town engineer for his review and approval. The town engineer shall examine the amending map or certificate of correction and if only changes made are those set forth in Section 16.14.010, this fact shall be certified on the amending map or certificate of correction. (Ord. 203 §2(part), 1990)

The amending map or certificate of correction certified by the town engineer shall be filed in the office of the county recorder in which the original map was filed. The original map shall be deemed to have been conclusively so corrected and shall impart constructive notice of all the corrections in the same manner as though upon the original map. (Ord. 203 §2(part), 1990)

The fee for checking, processing and recording the amended map or certificate of correction shall be in accordance with the town's resolution establishing fees and charges. A deposit to be applied toward this fee may be required by the town engineer upon submittal of the amended map or certificate of correction for his review. (Ord. 203 §2(part), 1990)
