of prints of such record map, including the title sheet, shall be
immediately furnished to the city clerk, one of each such prints or

record of survey map shall be one ten thousandth.
In the event that the city engineer, the county surveyor, county
road commissioner or the state highway engineer shall have established
the center line of any street or alley in or adjoining a subdivision
the final map or approved record of survey map shall show such center
line, together with reference to a field book or map showing such
center line and the monuments which determine its position. If determined

record of survey map.
(Prior code § 18.4)
Upon the submission of a final map, the subdivider shall deposit
with the county surveyor a sum of money equal to the amount required
by law for the recordation of a subdivision map, which money shall
be deposited in a trust fund for that purpose, and upon the filing
of such map for record in the office of the county recorder, such
money shall be used by the surveyor in payment of the fee for recording
of such map.
In the event that the subdivider abandons his or her intention
to cause such map to be recorded, and so notifies the county surveyor
of such fact in writing, such money shall be refunded to the subdivider
who deposited the same.
All moneys paid out of such trust fund shall be paid by warrant
of county auditor which shall be drawn upon the requisition of the
county surveyor.
(Prior code § 18.4)
In addition to all other fees and charges required by law, upon
submitting a tentative map, a final map, or approved record of survey
map under the provisions of the subdivision map act of the state,
the subdivider shall pay to the city clerk at the time the tentative
map is filed a fee, as established by city council resolution, for
checking said map, by the city engineer, and a plan checking fee to
the city engineer or county surveyor, whichever may perform the duties
of checking the final map or approved record of survey map, a sum

At the time the city accepts the final map and all offers of
dedication it may, as a condition precedent as "minimum requirements"

commission or the city council. The city council may dispense with
the requirement, for the installation of sidewalks if the terrain
or other special conditions make it unsafe or undesirable to install
sidewalks;

exterior boundaries of the subdivision; provided, that the topography
permits the use of such sewer;
(8) When Sidewalks Required. Sidewalks may be required on primary streets,
secondary streets or any local street where in the opinion of the
city council the amount of pedestrian travel requires a sidewalk as
a public necessity;

on the intersecting street, having the greater distance between the
curb and property line.
In addition to improving the streets shown upon the map the
subdivider shall improve or agree to improve any or all streets bordering
upon the boundaries of the subdivision with curbs and gutters and
at the option of the council with sidewalks and paving of the unpaved
portion of any of such between the exterior gutter line and the closest
