consenting to the preparation and recordation of the final map is
required, except as follows:
a. Neither a lien for state, county, municipal or local taxes, nor for
special assessments, nor a trust interest under bond indentures, nor
mechanics liens constitute a record title interest in land for the

trust deeds or the trustee under such trust deeds, but not both, may
be omitted. The signature of either shall constitute a full and complete

public entity or public utility right-of-way or easement, the signature
of such public entity or public utility may be omitted. Where such
determination is to be made, the provisions of the state Subdivision
Map Act section 66436(c)(1) shall apply and stay any further action
on the map until procedures specified therein are exhausted;
(2) Rights-of-way, easements or revisions, which by reason of changed
conditions, long disuse or laches appear to be no longer of practical
use or value and signatures are impossible or impractical to obtain.

oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances;
