MONUMENTS
Sections:
16.32.010 Final map and parcel map monuments.
16.32.020 Monument construction.
16.32.010 Final map and parcel map monuments.
At the time of making the survey of the final map or parcel map, the engineer or surveyor shall set sufficient durable monuments to conform with the standards described in the Subdivision Map Act so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey. The exterior boundary of the land being subdivided shall be adequately monumented or referenced before the map is recorded. The interior monuments shall be set prior to city council acceptance of the improvements or within one year following approval of the final map or parcel map, whichever comes later. Monuments shall be set as follows:
A. Exterior boundary monuments shall be set at or near each boundary corner and at intermediate points approximately 1,000 feet apart, or at such lesser distances as may be necessary by topography to ensure accuracy in reestablishment of any point or line without unreasonable difficulty;
B. Centerline monuments shall be set to mark the intersections of all roads, streets, alleys, or ways. Centerline monuments shall also be set to mark either the beginning and end of curves or the points of intersections of tangents thereof; and
C. Corner monuments shall be set at or near each lot corner, except that the city engineer may waive certain corner monumenting where standard monumenting would not be feasible or beneficial in retracing a survey. (Ord. 05-1915 § 1, 2005.)
16.32.020 Monument construction.
All exterior boundary monuments shall be of new galvanized iron pipe not less than one and one-half inches inside diameter and 18 inches long or shall be of such other type and dimension approved by the city engineer. Centerline monuments shall be of new galvanized iron pipe not less than one and one-half inches inside diameter and 15 inches long. The subdivider shall also provide proper ties to the location of the centerline monuments and these ties shall be shown on a tie sheet of a form approved by the city engineer. (Ord. 05-1915 § 1, 2005.)
16.32.030 Monument tie sheet.
At the time of the completion of the monuments required pursuant to this chapter or the Subdivision Map Act, and as condition precedent to release of the improvement security pertaining to such monuments, the subdivider shall submit to the city engineer, in a form satisfactory to the city engineer, a tie sheet showing proper ties to the location of the centerline monuments. A minimum of three such ties shall be shown for each centerline monument. All monuments set and tie monuments set shall be permanently marked or tagged with the engineer’s or surveyor’s registration or license number. (Ord. 05-1915 § 1, 2005.)
16.32.040 Monument bond.
If the monuments are to be set following the submission of the final map or parcel map to the city engineer for his or her certificate, a bond meeting the requirements set forth in the Subdivision Map Act shall be filed. In determining the amount of the bond, the city engineer shall make the necessary estimate of the cost to set monuments not already existing. (Ord. 05-1915 § 1, 2005.)
