Windsor Municipal Code Art. 11 Correction and Amendments of Maps

a. After a final parcel map is filed in the office of the County Recorder, it may be amended by a certificate of correction or an amending map as provided for in this Article.

b. Corrections.

1. A certificate of correction may be used to make only the following changes:

(A) To correct an error in any course or distance shown on the recorded map.

(B) To show any course or distance that was omitted from the recorded map.

(C) To correct an error in the description of the real property shown on the recorded map.

(D) To indicate monuments set after the death, disability, replacement, or retirement from practice of the engineer or surveyor charged with responsibility for setting monuments.

(E) To show the proper location of any monument that has been changed in location or character, or that 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 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 ascertainable from the data shown on the final or parcel map.

2. The Town Engineer may approve certificates of correction without a public hearing.

c. Modifications.

1. Any modification of a recorded final or parcel map that cannot be made by a certificate of correction, as listed above, shall require the approval and recordation of an amended final or parcel map. Modifications requiring an amended final or parcel include, but are not limited to, changes that make any or all of the conditions of the map no longer appropriate or necessary.

2. Modifications of recorded final and parcel maps shall be processed and set for public hearing as provided for in Sections 16-8-400 and 16-8-500, respectively. The decisionmaker shall confine the hearing to consideration of and action on the proposed modification.

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 16-8-410 (10-1.403), if a final map, or Section 16-8-510, if 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.

The amending map or certificate of correction, complete as to final form, shall be submitted to the Town Engineer for review and approval.

The Town Engineer shall examine the amending map or certificate of correction, and if the only changes made are those in Section 16-8-1100, that fact shall be certified on the amending map or certificate of correction.

(Ord. No. 2009-253, § 2, 7-15-2009)

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. Upon such filing, the County Recorder shall index the names of the fee owners and the appropriate subdivision designation shown on the amending map or certificate of correction in the general index and map index respectively. 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.
