16.16.030 Documents to be submitted.
Prior to or at the time of submitting the final map of a subdivision to the city, the subdivider shall submit therewith the following documents:
A. Traverse Sheets. Calculations and traverse sheets, in a form approved by the city engineer, giving the bearings and distances and coordinates of the boundaries of the subdivision and the block and lots therein shown on the final map.
B. Public Improvement Plans. The tracings of detailed plans, cross-sections and profiles as set forth in this title, and all other improvements proposed to be installed and required by the provisions of this title, and all other improvements proposed to be installed by the subdivider in, on, over or under any street, right-of-way, easement or parcel of land dedicated by the map or previously dedicated, including the estimated costs thereof. All such plans shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the city engineer. A plan sheet shall be 24 inches by 36 inches, with one inch left margin.
C. No Access Rights. A certificate restricting access pursuant to any agreement shall be shown on the final map where required by the city council.
D. Design Data. Design data assumptions and computations of proper analysis in accordance with sound engineering practices.
E. Reports and Guarantee of Clear Title. The final map shall be accompanied by a current report prepared by a duly authorized title company naming the persons whose consent is necessary for the preparation and recordation of the map, and for the dedication of streets, alleys, and other public places shown on the map and certifying that, as of the date of preparation of the report, the persons named therein are all persons necessary to give clear title to the subdivision. At the time of recording the map, following approval by the city council, there shall be filed with the county recorder a guarantee executed by a duly authorized title company, showing that the person(s) (naming them) consenting to the preparation and recordation of the map, and offering for dedication the streets, alleys and other public places shown thereon, are all of the person(s) necessary to pass clear title to the subdivision, and the dedications shown thereon. Such guarantee shall indemnify the city in an amount to be fixed by resolution of the city council at the time of its approval of such map, but which amount shall not be such as to render the subdivision unfeasible, but shall, in any event, be reasonably sufficient to provide for all expenses, damages, costs and attorney’s fees that the city shall incur, by reason of any matter affecting the title of the land included within the exterior boundary shown on the map of such subdivision, and shall be dated as of the time, day, month and year of such recordation. Such guarantee, unless required by law to remain on file with the county recorder, shall, upon completion of recordation, be delivered to the city clerk.
F. Agreement and Bonds. The agreement and improvement securities specified in this title.

16.16.040 Size, material and scale.
The final map shall be legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record in black on tracing cloth or polyester-based film. Certificates, affidavits and acknowledgments may be legibly printed upon the map with opaque ink. The dimensions of each sheet of such map shall be 18 inches by 26 inches. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet, leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The scale of the map shall be sufficient to show all details clearly and in no case shall be greater that one inch equals 100 feet, nor less than one inch equals 50 feet. Enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The number of each sheet and the total number of sheets comprising each map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and the relation of each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown by key map on the front sheet. Each sheet of the map proper shall show the date of the survey, north arrow, written graphic scale, and other information as necessary. The map shall be made and shall be in such condition when filed that good legible prints and microfilm negatives may be made therefrom. (Ord. 145 § 2, 1983; Ord. 72 § 11(D)(1), 1973)
16.16.050 Title.
The title of each sheet of the final map shall consist of the approved name of the tract, at the lower right-hand corner of the sheet, followed by the words, “City of Etna.” Maps filed for the purpose of showing an acreage land previously subdivided shall be conspicuously marked with the words “Reversion to Acreage.” Reference shall be made to maps which have been previously recorded.

An accurate and complete boundary survey to second order accuracy shall be made of the land to be subdivided. A traverse of the exterior boundaries of the tract, and of each block when computed from field measurements on the ground, shall close within a limit of one foot to 10,000 feet. The boundary of the subdivision shall be indicated on the final map by a blue border applied to the reverse side of the tracing. (Ord. 145 § 2, 1983; Ord. 72 § 11(D)(4), 1973)
16.16.080 Dimensions, bearings and curve data.
The final map shall show all the survey and mathematical information and data necessary to locate all monuments thereon, including bearings and distances of straight lines and central angles, radii and arc lengths of curves, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of the curves. Dimensions of lots shall be given as total dimensions, corner to corner, and shall be shown in feet or hundredths thereof.

No ditto marks shall be used for lot dimensions. Lot numbers shall begin with the numeral “1” and continue consecutively in a clockwise fashion throughout the tract, with no omissions or duplications. (Ord. 145 § 2, 1983; Ord. 72 § 11(D)(6), 1973)
