§ 16.44

A.

At the time of making the survey for the final map or parcel map, the engineer or surveyor must set sufficient durable monuments to conform with the standards described in Section 8771 of the Business and Professions Code so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey.

B.

Such engineer or surveyor must set monuments as follows:

1.

Set city standard monuments and encasements at all intersections of street centerlines, beginning and ending of all curves on streets within the subdivision and at the intersection of the centerline of the streets and the subdivision boundary. On all curved streets, a sufficient number of monuments must be set so that connecting chords must be wholly within the street roadway between curbing. The engineer or surveyor must measure the vertical elevation based upon data approved by the city engineer, data for each city standard monument set and must provide a record of this data to the city engineer.

2.

Set two-inch iron pipe twenty-four inches long, filled with concrete and properly tagged, or with a two-inch by two-inch by twelve-inch redwood stake driven into the center and properly tagged or equal as approved by the city engineer, at all angle points and beginning and ending of all curves on the exterior boundary of the subdivision. All boundary monuments must be in place prior to recordation of the map. The city engineer may, by a field survey, satisfy himself that all monuments actually exist and that their positions are correctly drawn. Depth of boundary monuments must be not less than six inches or more than thirty inches.

Set two-inch by two-inch by twelve-inch redwood stakes with tag, iron rod with cap or iron pipe with cap and properly tagged at all angle points and beginning and ending of all curves on the boundary of each lot, which angle point is not covered in subsection 1 or 2 above. For front lot corners, reference points, consisting of "penny" tags epoxied in place together with chisel marks on the top of curbs, may be substituted for the required redwood stake, iron rod or iron pipe. For rear lot corners of double-frontage lots, reference points, consisting of concrete nails and tags mounted on the rear masonry wall, on the lot side, at a visible elevation, may be substituted for the required redwood stake, iron rod or iron pipe.

4.

When any of the above-described boundary points fall in a concrete sidewalk, curb, wall, coping, etc., such points must be marked with a concrete nail and tag.

5.

All monuments in subsection 1 and 2 above must be so set as to ensure an unobstructed sight between adjacent monuments, whenever feasible, and in no case can the distance between monuments exceed two thousand seven hundred feet, unless prior approval is obtained from the city engineer.

6.

All monuments must be permanently marked with the license number of the engineer or surveyor setting it, preceded by the letters "R.C.E." or "L.S." respectively, as the case may be.

7.

The character, type and position of all monuments and encasements must be noted on the final map. If a monument is replaced, indicate type and condition of monument found and the date of replacement.

8.

A traverse of the boundaries of the map and of all the lots and blocks must close within a limit of error not in excess of one foot in twenty thousand feet.

9.

All distances must be expressed on the map to the nearest hundredth of a foot.

10.

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