(Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

approvals. An approved or conditionally approved tentative parcel map shall expire thirty-six (36) months or three (3) years after its approval.
Extensions may be granted, upon application of the subdivider, by the county surveyor for a period or periods not exceeding a total of five (5) years. If the county surveyor denies an application for any extension, any aggrieved party may appeal the decision of the county surveyor to the board of supervisors within 15 days after the denial, by following the procedures in section 16.06.130. The expiration of the approved or conditionally approved tentative parcel map shall terminate all proceedings and no parcel map of all or any portion of the real property included within the tentative parcel map shall be filed without first processing a new tentative parcel map. (Ord. 3297 § 1, 2016; Ord. 2325 §17, 2000; Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

The county recorder shall complete the cross-reference to such concurrently recorded separate documents. D. If dedications or offers of dedications are required, they may be made by separate instrument, which shall be recorded concurrently with or prior to the parcel map filed for record. E. Requirements for construction of improvements shall be noticed by certificate on the parcel map. When a parcel map agreement or other type of agreement is recorded concurrently with the map, there shall appear onthe map a reference to the separately recorded document.
This reference shall be completed by the county recorder. (Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

A. At the time of making the survey, monuments shall be set at all lot corners and angle points. If the map is compiled from record data, or if the monuments are to be set on or before a specified later date, at least one exterior boundary of the land being divided shall be adequately monumented or referenced before the map is recorded. B. Durable monuments must be set on all boundary corners. Interior monuments will be required on all corners.

A designated remainder parcel with a gross area of five acres or more does not need to be indicated as a matter of survey, but only by deed reference to the existing boundaries and acreage of the remainder. (Ord. 2325 §18, 2000; Ord. 1832 §19 1991; Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

map. A. After the checkprints and accompanying materials have been approved by the county surveyor, the subdivider shall submit the complete set of parcel maps, the signed and notarized parcel map agreement, if required, security for all incomplete improvements and monuments which are not set, and recording fees as required. B. Upon receipt of the parcel map for checking and approval, accompanied by the required recording fees, the county surveyor shall comply with Section 66450 of the Government Code. C. Prior to final approval of a parcel map as herein provided, the applicant shall file with the county surveyor a certificate from the county tax collector showing that according to the records of his/her office, there are no liens against the property, or any part thereof, for unpaid state, county, municipal or local taxes or special assessments collected as taxes, except taxes or special assessments not yet payable. The final parcel map shall not be approved until all such taxes and special assessments which are due and payable have been paid, and until a request for separation on the current tax roll has been filed with the county tax collector. Whenever any part of the subdivision is subject to a lien for taxes or special assessments collected as taxes which are not yet payable, the applicant shall file with the county surveyor proof that the applicant has executed and filed with the tax collector security conditioned upon the payment of all state, county, municipal, and local taxes and the current installment of principal and interest of all special assessments collected as taxes, which at the time the parcel map is recorded are a lien against the property, but which are not yet payable. If the applicant deposits cash to secure the payment of the estimated taxes or special assessments required herein, the tax collector shall draw upon the cash deposit, at the request of the taxpayer, to pay the taxes or special assessments when they are payable.

D. A parcel map conforming to the approved or conditionally approved tentative map may be filed with the county surveyor, or the board in the case of A-E:AP or certain TPZ maps, for approval after all required certificates on the map have been signed and, where necessary, acknowledged.

E. The county surveyor, or the board, shall approve the map if it conforms to all the 16-35

requirements of this title and the Subdivision Map Act, or if it does not so conform, deny the map, within fifteen days from the date that the map is filed. The date the map shall be deemed filed with the board is the date on which the county surveyor receives the map on behalf of the clerk of the board. The map may be approved if it is determined a technical and inadvertent failure to conform as required does not materially affect the validity of the map nor adversely impact the public health, safety or welfare. F. When all certificates and security required under the provisions of Government Code Section 66492 and 66493 have been filed and deposited with the board clerk and approved by the county, the board clerk shall certify that the certificates have been filed and deposits have been made and shall transmit the parcel map to the county recorder.

provided. Except as otherwise provided in this title, the subdivider shall provide the applicable improvements as set forth in this title and Title 11 as a condition precedent to the filing of the parcel map. (Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

A. General Road Design. All roads shall be properly integrated with the existing and proposed system of roads and dedicated right-of-way as established on the regional transportation plan. All roads shall be properly related to special traffic generators such as industries, business districts, schools, churches, and shopping centers; to population densities; and to the pattern of existing and proposed land uses. A road which meets the county standards for the zoning, density and location of the land division shall serve each parcel. Local roads shall be laid out to conform as much as possible to the topography, to permit efficient drainage and utility systems, and to require the minimum number of streets necessary to provide convenient and safe access to property, including emergency response and evacuation needs. Off-site road alignment may be modified by the director to allow construction of a road within an existing easement.

B. Determining Number of Parcels Served by a Road. For purposes of this title the number of parcels served by a road shall include all parcels for which the road must be used to reach a state- or county-maintained road. Parcels with more than one access shall be counted unless the parcel is developed and served by another road. C. Determining Which Roads Shall be Improved. The parcel map road and driveway improvement standards shall apply to any roads which serve any parcel within the proposed land division, and which do not meet the required development standards for the size, type, and density of the development. However, such standards shall apply to existing county maintained roads only along the frontage of the subject parcel.
D. Specific Road Standards. All roads serving lots created by parcel map shall be constructed or improved in accordance with the applicable sections of Title 11. E. Private Driveways. Private driveways need not be constructed or bonded for construction prior to the filing of the map, unless there is an existing building on the subject parcel. However, as a condition precedent to the filing of the parcel map, the applicant must demonstrate that a private driveway can be constructed on each parcel which would meet the standards for driveways as specified in Title 11 of this code. Demonstrated proof shall be submitted in the form of a letter signed by a licensed land surveyor or registered civil engineer that a road which meets the standards for a private driveway can be built from the access road to a building site on the parcel. F. Cul-de-sac roads. Cul-de-sac roads shall be allowed only if within the limits as set forth in Title 11.
G. Continuation of Roadways. The alignment, dedication and improvement of roads shall provide for the continuation of existing and or proposed roads on adjacent properties when such continuation is necessary for convenient movement of traffic, effective fire protection, efficient provision of utilities, and where such continuation is in accordance with the regional transportation plan.
Any road which is a continuation of an existing road shall be constructed to the same or greater width as the existing road and in accordance with Title 11 of this code. Right of way dedication for the continuation of centerline of roads to adjacent properties shall be provided if the adjacent property is undeveloped. The right-of-way shall be extended to the common property line of the adjoining property. (Ord. 2864 §19, 2007; Ord. 2325 '' 20, 21, & 22, 2000; Ord. 1562 ' 2 (part), 1987).

16-36

A. Easements Required. Each parcel or remainder created by map shall be served by an easement for ingress and egress. Such easement shall be deeded, dedicated or adjudicated.
Any road easement required on a parcel map shall be so located, aligned, and of sufficient width that the required road, including cuts, fills, turning bulbs and turnouts can be built within it which meets the requirements of Title 11. A dedicated maintenance easement shall be extended to five feet beyond the top of cuts and toe of fills. (Ord. 2864 § 20, 2007) B. Access From a Public Road. Frontage on any public road will not be counted as access for any parcel unless an encroachment permit is first obtained from the public agency controlling the road. C. Standard Easement Width. No road easement shall be less than fifty feet in width unless a reduction in such width is specifically allowed by guidelines in the following sections. D. On-site Road Easements. Where no more than four will be served by the easement, on-site road easements created for the purpose of serving lots within the division may be reduced to no less than twenty feet where a twelve-foot roadbed is required, twenty-five feet where a sixteen-foot roadbed is required, and thirty feet where a twenty- foot roadbed is required.

Whenever the easement continues through the property or there is potential for further division of the subject parcel, based on the minimum lot size of the general plan designation, an easement of sufficient width to allow construction of a twenty-foot wide roadbed with two-foot wide shoulders shall be required. E. Existing Rights-of-way.

1. Onsite Road Easements. When an existing right-of-way or road is shown on a record map within the proposed land division, such right- of-way shall be dedicated to the county unless a public hearing is held and a finding made by the director that no such dedication is necessary for orderly development. The width of such easement shall be fifty feet unless reduced by the director.
2. Offsite Road Easements. A division of land may be allowed where the owner of any property through which the road easement passes refuses to allow widening of the road easement, provided that such easement is of sufficient width for a road to be built within it which meets the requirements of Title

F. Access to Adjoining Parcel. When an adjoining parcel does not have legal access or if the terrain abutting the legal access of an adjoining parcel does not allow physical access and the owner of such parcel requests an easement or the director determines that such an easement is necessary for orderly development, the subdivider shall dedicate a road easement to the parcel. The width of the easement may be reduced to no less than twenty feet and shall be so designed that the road required for the type of development, as determined by the general plan designation and Title 11 can be built within it. If the topography would prevent the future building of-such a road, the requirement may be waived by the director. Any road which is a continuation of an existing road shall have an easement of the same, or greater, width, with the exceptions of easements ending with turning bulbs, cul-de-sacs or other unusual configurations such as varying widths to encompass tops of cuts or toes of fills. The nominal consistent width shall be continued. G. County Rights-of-way. Where an existing county maintained road that is designated as an arterial or future arterial road in the regional transportation plan crosses or abuts the subject parcel, the applicant shall dedicate fifty feet minimum along each side of the centerline unless a specific plan section has been adopted for that road section that may require more width. Where an existing county maintained road that is designated as a major collector or future major collector road in the regional transportation plan crosses or abuts the subject parcel, the applicant shall dedicate forty feet minimum along each side of the centerline except where the county already owns a deeded or dedicated easement of that width. Where an existing county maintained road that is designated as a minor collector or future minor collector road in the regional transportation plan crosses or abuts the subject parcel, the applicant shall dedicate thirty-two feet minimum along each side of the centerline except where the county already owns a deeded or dedicated easement of that width. Where a plan line of a future road which has been adopted by the board of supervisors crosses the subject parcel, the director shall require the centerline of the dedicated rights-of-way to follow the centerline of said plan line. Where no plan line has been adopted, dedication shall be based on the county's best estimate and may require additional right-of-way. Where an existing county maintained road that is designated as a rural local road in the regional transportation plan crosses or abuts the subject parcel, the applicant shall dedicate twenty-five feet minimum along each side of the centerline except where the county already owns a deeded or 16-37

dedicated easement of that width. If the director determines that a fifty-foot right-of-way will not be needed now or in the future, the director may reduce the required right-of-way but in no case to less than twenty feet from centerline.
If the director makes the finding that additional right-of-way is necessary to allow future widening of an arterial, collector or rural local road such requirement shall be increased to no more than fifty feet each side of the centerline. Upon request, the results of the finding shall be forwarded to the subdivider and his/her surveyor or engineer along with the request for the additional right-of-way. If the director makes the finding that realignment of the roadway is necessary for public safety, a new centerline may be established for the purpose of such dedication.
H. Commercial and Industrial Easements.
Easements may be reduced to no less than thirty- six feet in width to serve commercial or industrial parcels. I. Access Through Public Lands. Access through public lands must be provided to the subject parcel by permit or easement from the public agency with jurisdiction. No specified width is necessary when approved by the director. J. Exceptions for Irrevocable, Reciprocal Easements. If irrevocable, reciprocal easements are provided for access, utilities or parking, and such easements are approved by the director, requirements for all other easements may be waived for commercial, industrial, townhouse or condominium land divisions. The documents providing such easements must be approved by county counsel. (Ord. 2864 §21, 2007; Ord. 2864 §22, 2007; Ord. 1684 §1, 1989; Ord. 1678 §1, 1989; Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

A. All nonexclusive road and access dedications as specified in this title shall be further reserved and dedicated as public utility easements. An aboveground public utility easement, eight feet in width, shall be provided along and across each parcel created pursuant to this title which abuts and adjoins such nonexclusive road or dedicated access.

B. A public utility easement, sixteen feet in width, shall be dedicated where existing utility facilities exist. Such easement shall extend to the farthest parcel served by such existing facilities unless provision has been made with the public utility or owner of the improvements to move them into an easement.

C. A public utility easement, a minimum of thirty five feet in width, shall be dedicated along any portion of any public utility owner’s ditch system which lies within the subject parcel. The required width may be increased or decreased at the request of the public utility owner.

D. With prior written approval of the public utility owner, a property owner may pipe or realign the ditch system on his/her property. (Ord. 2864 §23, 2007; Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

A. Where a land division is traversed by a watercourse, drainageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided a storm water easement or drainage right-of-way fifteen feet in width along the centerline of ephemeral drainages, thirty feet in width along the centerline of intermittent drainages and fifty feet along the centerline of perennial streams conforming substantially to the lines of such watercourse. Wherever safe and feasible, as determined by the director, it is desirable that the drainage be maintained by an open channel with landscaped banks and adequate width for maximum potential volume of flow.

B. Where topography or other conditions are such as to make impractical the inclusion of drainage facilities within road rights-of-way, perpetual unobstructed easements at least fifteen feet in width for such drainage facilities shall be provided across the subject property outside the road lines and with satisfactory access to the road. Easements shall be indicated and dedicated on the map but shall not be accepted for maintenance by the county. Only those drainageways lying adjacent to or beneath county-maintained roads, and within dedicated road easements, shall be maintained by the county. Drainage easements shall be carried from the road to a natural watercourse or to other drainage facilities.

C. When a proposed drainage system will carry water across private land outside the subdivision, appropriate drainage rights must be secured and indicated on the final map. The applicant shall dedicate a drainage easement along both sides of existing watercourses, of a width to be determined by the director. (Ord. 2864 §24, 2007; Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

A. Minimum Acreage, Length and width.
Every parcel shall be as large or larger than the minimum area allowed in the zoning district of the parcel, and shall also meet the width requirements of the zoning district. When land is zoned for division into lots two acres or larger in size, the required minimum area shall be the same as the gross acreage. 16-38

When land is zoned for division into lots 1.99 acres or smaller in size, the required minimum area shall be the same as the net acreage. No parcel of less than five acres shall be created with an average ratio of length to width exceeding 4 to 1, except when the length is adjacent to a road easement. B. Flag lots. Flag lots are permitted in any land division subject to the following conditions:

1. No portion of any flag lot two acres or smaller in size which is less than forty feet in width shall be applied to the minimum area requirements specified in the uniform zoning ordinance.
2. The length to width ratio requirement of 4 to 1 shall only apply to that portion of the flag lot which is at least forty feet wide.
3. Except as otherwise provided, no portion of any flag lot less than fifty feet in width may be used as a building site.
4. That portion of the flag lot which is less than forty feet in width and which provides access from a street shall not exceed five hundred feet in length.
5. Two lots may share a driveway which shall meet the standards specified herein for private driveways and access roads serving two parcels or less if an casement is dedicated for such driveway as required herein. C. Common Driveways. Where driveway access from an arterial or collector road may be necessary for several adjoining parcels, the director may require that such parcels be served by a common driveway and easement in order to limit possible traffic hazard on such road. Driveways shall not be designed so that vehicles must back onto arterial or collector roads. Provision shall be made for a common driveway where cuts and fills along the front property line are in excess of five feet above or below road grade. Such driveways should begin and end at the "daylight" section at each end of the cut or fill, if possible. Easements for common driveways shall be no less than twenty feet in width. Such driveways shall be constructed to the minimum road standards in Title 11.

D. Parcel Drainage. Individual parcel drainage shall be coordinated with the general storm drainage pattern for the area. Drainage shall be designed so as to avoid concentration of storm drainage water from each parcel to adjacent parcels. E. Additional Parking in Snow Removal Areas.
Where any portion of a land division exceeds three thousand foot elevation and contains parcels less than two acres in gross area, two parking spaces shall be provided on each parcel as a condition to be fulfilled by the subdivider. Additional parking spaces may be required based upon parcel zoning of a higher density or use other than single-family residential. These spaces should be at or near the elevation of the road. Off-site parking areas may be at combined locations to provide for up to three parcels if approved by the director. Locations for joint parking facilities shall be within common areas or additional dedicated easements. The subdivider must submit improvement plans which demonstrate where and how required parking spaces will be constructed. Parking spaces shall be constructed or bonded prior to recordation of the map. F. Buffering Commercial Lots. Adjacent residential areas shall be protected from potential nuisance from a proposed commercial or industrial land division by the provision of a setback on commercial or industrial property equal to that required for contiguous property. (Ord. 2864 §25, 26, 2007; Ord. 1895 §1 1992; Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

A. Residential. For residential development of less than two acres per parcel, the public water system must be capable of supplying the following fire flows from the county standard hydrants at twenty psi residual pressure for a two-hour duration:

1. Two hundred fifty gallons per minute where there are densities greater than one parcel per two acres and up to and including one parcel per acre.
2. Five hundred gallons per minute where there are densities of more than one and up to and including six units per acre.
3. Seven hundred fifty gallons per minute where there are densities of more than six and up to and including nine units per acre.
4. One thousand two hundred fifty gallons per minute where densities are more than nine units per acre. B. Commercial, industrial, mixed use, and business park. The minimum required fire flow for land divisions within the M-U, C-K, C-O, C-1, C-2, C-S, BP, M-1, and M-2 zoning districts shall be 1,500 gallons per minute. Water to meet the required fire flow must be available on each parcel prior to approval of a final parcel map except a new parcel is not required to have fire flow on it if:
5. The entire area of the proposed parcel is within three hundred feet (distance from hydrant to the parcel measured along a primary or paved access road) of a hydrant with the fire flow set forth above; and
6. A deeded or dedicated easement is available between the water line serving the hydrant and the proposed parcel. 16-39

Standards for water mains, water storage for fire protection, and water supply shall be in accordance with title 15 of this code. (Ord. 2579 §13, 2004; Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

when water system does not have the required fire flow. A property owner proposing a land division within an existing water system and within five hundred feet of an existing main line not meeting the required fire flow may propose, and the county may approve, the land division through the issuance of a planned unit development permit subject to the following terms and conditions, and any other conditions of approval of the planned unit development permit: A. All feasible improvements to upgrade the fire flow in the existing system are made. Feasible improvements are both technically possible and economically reasonable. B. An engineering study may be required to aid in determining what improvements are feasible. C. The owner may be required to contribute to improvements not feasible for this project alone. D. Hookup to the system shall be designed and installed so as to accommodate the maximum flow available or projected. E. Further extension of the line shall be prohibited unless the fire flow required for a land division is available. F. Structures constructed on the property must be designed and constructed to meet the standards set forth in title 15 of this code. (Ord. 2901 §6, 2008; Ord. 2579 §14, 2004)

located and installed in accordance with Title 15. (Ord. 1562 §2 (part), 1987).

is granted pursuant to section 16.24.240, a parcel map may not be required for a land division which involves the creation of condominiums or townhouses or at the time of application complies with the requirements established by this code and the subdivision map act for such division, including but not limited to parcel size, design, drainage control, access, easements, sanitary disposal facilities, water requirements, environmental protection, survey requirements, fire protection and the Tuolumne County General Plan. Each parcel of the land division must be surveyed and shown on a map of record. (Ord. 2325 §23, 2000).

A. The subdivider may make application for a waiver of a parcel map on a form prescribed by the county surveyor and submitted to the department of public works accompanied by all required information and fees including all the items required by the tentative parcel map checklist.
B. The county surveyor shall hold a public hearing according to the procedures in Section 16.24.070 and determine if the land division complies with the requirements of this code and the subdivision map act. C. Upon waiver of the parcel map requirement by the county surveyor, the subdivider shall submit an application, the proper legal descriptions and the fees for a certificate of compliance, for each parcel being created. The county surveyor shall then file a certificate of compliance for the parcels being created. (Ord. 2325 §24, 2000). 16-40
