This chapter provides requirements for subdivision survey work,
and the placement of subdivision monuments.
(Ord. 1308 § 5, 2000)
The procedure and practice of all survey work done on any subdivision,
whether for preparation of a final map or parcel map shall conform
to the standard practices and principles of land surveying, the California
Land Surveyor's Act, and the provisions of this chapter. All related
documents shall be executed by a California-registered civil engineer
authorized to practice land surveying, or licensed land surveyor.
(1)
Traverse. The traverse of the exterior boundaries of the subdivision
computed from field measurements of the ground must close within a
limit of error of one foot to ten thousand feet of perimeter before
balancing the survey, or comply with other requirements established
by the county surveyor.
(2)
Field Notes. When required by the county surveyor, the engineer or
surveyor making the survey shall prepare complete field notes, in
a form satisfactory to the county surveyor, showing references, ties,
locations, elevations and other necessary data relating to monuments,
set in compliance with these regulations, and shall submit the notes
to the county surveyor to be indexed and retained as a part of the
permanent public record of his office.
(3)
Geodetic Monuments. Whenever the county surveyor has established
a system of coordinates which is within a reasonable distance of the
subdivision boundary, as determined by the county surveyor, the field
survey shall be tied into the system.
(Ord. 1308 § 5, 2000)
In surveying a subdivision, the engineer or surveyor shall set
sufficient permanent monuments so that any part of the survey may
be readily retraced. Survey monuments shall be set by the engineer
or surveyor for all new subdivisions requiring a parcel map or final
map, and for any lot line adjustment unless waived by the county surveyor,
in compliance with this section. Survey monuments shall be set in
compliance with city standards.
(1)
Boundary Monuments.
(A)
Boundary monuments shall be set on the exterior boundary of the subdivision
at all corners, angle points, beginnings and ends of curves and at
intermediate points approximately one thousand feet apart. The locations
of inaccessible points may be established by ties and shall be so
noted on the final map or parcel map.
(B)
All exterior boundary monuments shall be set prior to recordation
of the final map or parcel map or as certified on the final map.
(2)
Interior Monuments. Whenever interior monuments are required, the
monuments shall be set at:
(3)
Monument Type and Positioning. All monuments set in the course of
the survey shall be as specified by the county surveyor and shall
be set to the depth and in the manner prescribed by the county surveyor.
(4)
Identification Marks. All monuments shall be permanently and visibly
marked or tagged with the registration or license number of the engineer
or surveyor who signs the engineer's or surveyor's certificate and
under whose supervision the survey is made.
(5)
Replacement of Destroyed Monuments. Any monument which is disturbed
or destroyed before acceptance of all improvements by the city shall
be replaced by the subdivider.
(6)
Timing of Monument Installation. The exterior boundary of the subdivision
shall be completely monumented or referenced before the final map
or parcel map is submitted to the county surveyor for filing. interior
monuments need not be set at the time the final map or parcel map
is filed if the engineer or survey- or certifies on the map that the
monuments will be set on or before a specified later date, and if
the subdivider furnishes the city a bond, instrument of credit, or
cash deposit in a sufficient amount to guarantee payment of the cost
of setting the monuments in compliance with Map Act Section 66496.
(7)
Notice of Completion. Within five days after all monuments have been set, the engineer or surveyor shall give written notice to the subdivider and the county surveyor that the final monuments have been set. Verification of payment to the engineer or surveyor shall be filed as required by Article 9, Chapter 4 of the Map Act. The cost of setting monuments shall be included in the engineer's estimate for improvements in compliance with Section 21.80.040 (Improvement agreements and security) of this title. If requested, this amount of the bond may be released upon verification of the setting of the monuments by the county surveyor.
(8)
Inspection and Approval. All monuments shall be subject to the inspection
and approval of the county surveyor.
(Ord. 1308 § 5, 2000)
The following survey information shall be shown on each final
map or parcel map for which a field survey was made in compliance
with this title.
(1)
Stakes, monuments (together with their precise position) or other
evidence found on the ground, to determine the boundaries of the subdivision;
(2)
Corners of all adjoining properties identified by lot and block numbers,
subdivision names, numbers and pages of record or by section, township
and range, or other proper designation;
(3)
All information and data necessary to locate and retrace any point
or line without unreasonable difficulty;
(4)
The location and description of any required monuments to be set
after recordation of the final map, and the statement that they are
"to be set";
(5)
Bearing and length of each lot line, block line and boundary line
and each required bearing and distance;
(6)
Length, radius and angle of each curve and the bearing of each radial
line to each lot corner on each curve;
(7)
The centerlines of any street or alley in or adjoining the subdivision
which have been established by the county surveyor, together with
reference to a field book or map showing the centerline and the monuments
which determine its position. If determined by ties, that fact shall
be so stated;
(8)
Any other survey data or information as may be required to be shown
by the county surveyor or by the provisions of this chapter.
