Chapter 16.24 — SURVEY REQUIREMENTS4

The procedure and practice of all survey work done on any division of land, whether for preparation of a final map or parcel map shall conform to the standards and details set forth in Chapter 15, Division 3, of the Business and Professions Code, the Land Surveyor's Act. The allowable error of closure on any portion of a final map or parcel map shall be ;frax;1;10,000;.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.01(A), 1967)

In the event that the county engineer, county road commissioner, the State Highway Engineer or any city engineer has established the center line of any street or alley in or adjoining a division of land, the final map or parcel map shall show

such center line, together with reference to a field book or map showing such center line and the monuments which determine its position. If determined by ties, that fact shall be stated upon the final map or parcel map.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.01(B), 1967)

The engineer or surveyor making the survey for any subdivision in the city shall set durable monuments at all angle and curve points in the exterior boundary of subdivisions. Such durable monuments shall consist of 2-inch cement filled iron pipes, not less than 2 feet in length, set not less than 6 inches and not more than 10 inches below finished grade, with the point marked with nail and metal tag with the certificate number of the surveyor or civil engineer setting it, each number to be preceded by the letters, "L.S." or "R.E." respectively, as the case may be; provided that whenever a point marking any of the locations above-described occurs in improved areas such as a concrete sidewalk, curb, wall or paved roadway, such points shall be marked with a lead plug, tack and said metal tag, or with a spike and said metal tag securely set in the concrete or paving respectively. If, however, the point is too close to the edge of concrete work to permit the placing of the lead plug, then sufficient concrete must be removed to permit the placing of the iron pipe as above described.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.01(C), 1967)

The engineer or surveyor making the survey for any subdivision in the city shall set a durable monument at each angle and curve point in the boundary of each lot, which angle and curve point is not covered in Section 16.24.030. Such monument except a front lot corner monument shall consist of a 2-inch by 2-inch by 12-inch redwood stake with nail and the metal tag previously described; provided that whenever a point marking any of the locations above-described occurs in improved areas such as a concrete sidewalk, curb, wall or pavement, such points shall be marked with a lead plug, tack and said metal tag, or with a spike and said metal tag securely set in the concrete or pavement respectively. Each front lot corner monument shall consist of a lead plug, tack and metal tag set securely in the sidewalk or curb on a definite and predetermined offset where the production of the side lot lines meet the sidewalk or curb.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.01(D), 1967)

If, in the opinion of the city engineer, any of those points which are mentioned in Section 16.24.030 are inaccessible, then reference points shall be set in a manner which will comply with said Section 16.24.030; also, if in the opinion of the city engineer any of those points which are mentioned in Section 16.24.040 are inaccessible, then reference points shall be set in a manner which complies with said Section 16.24.040; provided, however, that all such reference points and their offsets must be shown on the final subdivision map, parcel map or supplementary map.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.01(E), 1967)

A.

Whenever necessary in the opinion of the city engineer, center line monuments shall be set to mark the intersections of streets, intersections of streets with the tract boundary, or to mark either the beginning and end of curves or the points of intersection of tangents thereof, or other intermediate points.

B.

Each such monument shall be not less durable and substantial than:

In asphaltic concrete or cement concrete pavements a lead and tack;

In bituminous macadam pavements a spike not less than 6 inches long.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.02, 1967)

A.

For each center line intersection monument set, the engineer or surveyor under whose supervision the survey has been made shall furnish to the city engineer a set of notes showing clearly the ties between such monument and a sufficient number (normally 4) of durable distinctive reference points or monuments. Such reference points or monuments may be leads and tacks in sidewalks or curb, or 2-inch by 2-inch stakes set back of the curb line and below the surface of the ground, or such substitute therefor as appears less 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 city engineer. All such notes shall be indexed and filed by the city engineer as a part of the permanent public records of his office.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.03, 1967)

All monuments set as required herein 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.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.04, 1967)

All exterior boundary monuments required in Section 16.24.030 shall be set prior to recordation of the final map unless extensive grading operations or improvement work makes it impractical to set monuments. In the event any or all of the boundary monuments required are to be set subsequent to recordation of the final map, the engineer or surveyor making the survey shall furnish evidence acceptable to the city engineer prior to submitting the final map to substantiate his reasons for deferring the setting of permanent monuments until after recordation of the final map. If the setting of boundary monuments is deferred, field notes showing the boundary survey shall be presented to the city engineer at the time the final map is submitted for checking. Interior street center line monuments may be set subsequent to recordation of the final map. The final map shall show which monuments are in place and which are to be set. Prior to approval of the final map by the board of directors, the subdivider shall submit a written agreement in which he agrees that the monuments so deferred will be set within a specified time, and that the notes required in Section 16.24.070 will be furnished within a specified time.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.05, 1967)

A.

Monuments required in Section 16.24.030 shall be subject to inspection and approval of the county surveyor in conjunction with his checking of the map.

B.

After all surface improvements, which are called for in the contract between the city and the subdivider have been completed, the engineer or surveyor shall arrange with the city engineer for an inspection of the work as provided for in this chapter. The engineer or surveyor, or representative of the engineer or surveyor, doing said work shall be present during the

time set for the inspection. All monuments, stakes, buttons and creases as required by this section shall be exposed and plainly visible at the time of inspection.

(Ord. 5568 § 53, 1982; Ord. 4815 § 6.06, 1967)

Any monuments or stakes disturbed by the improvements shall be reset. Where no streets are to be improved, the subdivider shall post a faithful performance bond to guarantee the setting of all the above stakes and monuments.

(Ord. 4815 § 6.07, 1967)
