The final map of the subdivision shall be submitted to the City Engineer for checking and approval. The map shall be filed, together with traverse sheets, other data, and check prints, with the City Engineer at least 20 days prior to the filing of the final map by the City Engineer with the City Clerk for action by the City Council. [Ord. 430 § 11(a), 1950.]

The final subdivision map shall be clearly and legibly drawn in black India ink upon tracing cloth of good quality. All lines, letters, figures, certificates, acknowledgments and signatures shall be made in black India ink. Typewriting or rubber stamps shall not be used. The map shall be so made and shall be in such condition when filed that good, legible blueprints and negatives can be made therefrom. The size of the sheets of tracing cloth shall be 18 by 26 inches, leaving a margin of one inch from the edge of the sheets. The name, tract number, title or other designation, all drawings, affidavits, acknowledgments, endorsements, acceptance of dedication and notarial seals shall be within the marginal lines. The scale of the final map shall be not less than one inch equals 100 feet. [Ord. 430 § 11(b), 1950.]
9.40.030 Data to appear on final map.
A. The title sheet of the final map shall contain the title, and such other descriptive matter as may be necessary; below the title shall appear a subtitle consisting of a general description of all the property being subdivided by reference to recorded deeds or to maps which have been previously recorded or by reference to the plat of a United States Survey. In case the property included within the subdivision lies wholly within incorporated territory, the following words shall appear below the title: “In incorporated territory in the City of Sausalito,” or if partly in an unincorporated territory of the County of Marin, the following words shall be used: “Partly in the City of Sausalito and partly in the unincorporated territory of the County of Marin.” Reference to tracts and subdivisions in the description must be worded identically with original records and reference to book and page of record must be complete. Every sheet comprising the map shall bear the tract name, scale, north point, legend, sheet number and number of sheets comprising the map. Below the title shall be clearly noted the basis of bearing for the survey.
B. The final map shall particularly define and designate all lots or parcels intended for sale or reserved for private purposes, and all parcels offered for dedication for any purpose, with all dimensions, boundaries and courses clearly shown and defined in every case.
C. The map shall show clearly what stakes, monuments, or other evidences were found on the ground to determine the boundaries of the tract. The adjoining corners of all adjoining subdivisions shall be identified by lot and block number, tract name and place of record, or other proper designation.
D. The map shall show all information, data and monuments necessary to locate and retrace any and all exterior boundary lines, lot and block lines, and shall also show bearings and distances of straight lines and radii, delta and arc length for all curves and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of curves, also bearings and tangent distances and radii, delta and arc lengths of all lots. Where streets intersect on curves, center line lengths, radii and deltas, and center line intersection points shall be shown.
E. Wherever the County Surveyor or City Engineer has established the center line of a street or alley, the data shall be shown on the final map, indicating all monuments found and making reference to a field book or map. If the points were reset by ties, the fact shall be stated.
F. The map shall show all town boundaries crossing or adjoining the subdivision clearly designated and tied in.
G. The map shall show the line of extreme high water in case the subdivision is adjacent to tidewater.
H. The boundary of the tract shall be designated by a one-sixteenth-inch border of Prussian blue water color applied on the reverse side of the tracing and inside the boundary line. Such border shall not obliterate figures or other data.
I. Lots and Blocks. In tracts containing more than one block, the blocks shall be numbered in numerical order, commencing with the numeral “1,” with no omissions or duplications. Lot numbers shall begin with the number “1” in each block, and shall continue consecutively, with no omissions or duplications. As an alternative to the foregoing, block letters or numbers may be omitted, in which case lot numbers shall begin with the numeral “1” and shall continue consecutively throughout the subdivision with no omissions or duplications. No prefix or suffix, such as “1A,” “B2” or “B3” shall be used. All letters and figures shall be conspicuous and solid. They shall not obliterate dimensions or courses. If more than one sheet is required for the subdivision map, each sheet shall show lots and blocks in their entirety and not portions thereof.
J. Streets and Other Rights-of-Way. The total width of all streets shall be shown, also the widths of rights-of-way for flood control or drainage channels, and any other rights-of-way.
K. Easements. The map shall show the center line and width of all easements to which the lots are subject. The easement must be clearly labeled and identified and, if already of record, its recorded reference be given. If any easement is not definitely located of record, a statement of such easement must appear on the title sheet. Easements for storm drains, sewers and other purposes shall be denoted by fine dotted lines. Distances and bearings on the side lines of lots which are cut by an easement must be so shown that the map will indicate clearly the actual lengths of the lot lines. The width of the easement and the lengths and bearings of the lines thereof and sufficient ties thereto to definitely locate the easement with respect to the subdivision must be shown. [Ord. 430 § 11(c), 1950.]

When the final map is presented to the City Engineer, the subdivider shall give evidence to the City Engineer that he has deposited with the City the sum of $25.00 and an additional amount computed on the basis of $0.50 for each lot shown on the map.
