The terms "monument" and "permanent monument,"
as used in these regulations, shall mean any structure of masonry,
metal or other permanent material placed in the ground, which is exclusively
"identifiable" as a monument to a survey point, expressly
placed for surveying reference.
(Ord. 1707, 12-19-2011)
All permanent control monuments set to control or mark the boundaries
of any division shall be not less than one-half inch diameter by 24
inches in length with a cap not less than one and one-quarter inch
diameter marked in a permanent manner with the name and/or registration
number of the registered land surveyor in charge of the survey. A
cap of the above dimensions may be set firmly in concrete.
(Ord. 1707, 12-19-2011)
Prior to filing any subdivision plat for record, the land surveyor
shall confirm the location of sufficient monuments to reasonably assure
the perpetuation or re-establishment of any corner or boundary of
retracement of the survey. The surveyor shall clearly identify on
the face of the plat or certificate of survey, all monuments used
in the survey, and the description shall be sufficient to identify
the monuments without reference to another record of survey.
(Ord. 1707, 12-19-2011)
All monuments must be set prior to filing a plat or certificate
of survey except those monuments which will be disturbed by the installation
of improvements. Such monuments may be set subsequent to filing if
the surveyor certifies that they will be set before a specified date.
(Ord. 1707, 12-19-2011)
The plat or certificate shall clearly show the relationship
of all adjacent monuments of record and the relationship of the monuments
of record to monuments set after filing.
(Ord. 1707, 12-19-2011)
Monuments not less than three-eighths inch in diameter and 18
inches in length and marked with the name and/or registration number
of the registered land surveyor in charge of the survey, shall be
set at the following locations:
A. At each
corner and angle point of all lots, blocks or parcels of land created;
B. At every
point of intersection of the outer boundary of the subdivision with
an existing or created right-of-way line;
C. At every
point of curve, point of tangency, point of reversed curve, or point
of compounded curve on each right-of-way line established.
(Ord. 1707, 12-19-2011)
When the placement of a required monument at its proper location
is impractical, the surveyor may set a reference monument near that
point. Such a reference monument has the same status as other monuments
of record if its location is properly shown. Where any point requiring
monumentation shall be confirmed by the land surveyor if used, and
if so confirmed, shall likewise be considered a monument of record
when properly shown and described on the plat filed.
(Ord. 1707, 12-19-2011)
If the land surveyor uses any previously established monument,
he or she must confirm the location of the monument. If properly confirmed
and shown and described on the filed plat, such a monument shall be
considered a monument of record.
