(Prior code § 9109.32; Ord. 855 § 3, 1994)
The following requirements shall apply:
A. Unless
modified by the city engineer and subject to the provisions of Article
9, Chapter 4 of the Subdivision Map Act, each final tract map and
each parcel map for which a survey is required shall show durable
monuments found or set at or near each boundary corner and at intermediate
points, approximately one thousand feet apart, or at much lesser distances
as may be made necessary by topography or culture to insure accuracy
in the reestablishment of any point or line without unreasonable difficulty.
The precise position and character of each such monument shall be
not less substantial than an iron pipe of a two-inch outside diameter,
not less than two and one-half feet in length, with plug and tack,
and set at least two feet into the ground, or of such other character
and stability as may be approved by the city engineer. For the purposes
of this chapter, a lead and tack set in permanent concrete or masonry
shall be considered as a durable monument. The approximate elevation
of the top of each such monument with respect to the surface of the
ground shall be shown on the map.
B. Whenever
necessary, in the opinion of the city engineer, center line monuments
shall be set to mark intersections of streets or intersections of
streets with the map boundary, or to mark either the beginning and
end of curves or the points of intersection of tangents thereof or
other intermediate points. Each such monument shall be not less durable
and substantial than:
1. In
asphaltic concrete or cement pavements, a lead and tack;
2. In
unsurfaced graveled or oiled surfaces a two-inch iron pipe set not
less than twelve inches below the surface, or at such depth as may
be approved by the city engineer;
3. In
bituminous macadam pavements, a spike not less than six inches long.
C. All
monuments set as required herein shall be permanently and visibly
marked or tagged with the registration or license number of the engineer
or surveyor under whose supervision the survey was made.
D. For
each center line monument set, the engineer or surveyor under whose
supervision the survey has been made shall furnish to the city engineer
a set of notes, clearly showing the ties between the monument and
a sufficient number (normally four) of durable, distinctive reference
points or monuments.
E. Such
reference points or monuments may be leads and tacks in sidewalks,
or two-inch by two-inch stakes set back of the curbline and below
the surface of the ground or a substitute therefor which appears to
be less likely to be disturbed.
F. Each
set of notes submitted shall conform in all respects to the standardized
office records of the city engineer. All such notes shall be indexed
and filed by the city engineer as a part of the permanent public records
of his or her office.
G. All
boundary monuments shall be set prior to filing the final tract or
parcel map unless grading operations or improvement work makes it
impractical to set monuments. The city engineer shall determine the
validity of all requests to defer the setting of permanent monuments
until after the final tract or parcel map is filed. If the setting
of boundary monuments is deferred, field notes showing the boundary
survey may be required by the city engineer at the time the final
tract or parcel map is submitted for checking. Interior street center
line monuments may be set subsequent to filing of the final tract
or parcel map. The final tract or parcel map shall show which monuments
are in place and which are to be set. Prior to certification of the
final tract or parcel map by the city engineer, the subdivider shall
submit a written agreement in which he or she agrees that monuments
deferred will be set within a specified time and that all notes required
herein will be furnished within specified time.
H. All
monuments shall be subject to inspection and approval of the city
engineer.

mark or other designation or repetition shall be used.

length, radius and total central angle or bearings of terminal radii
of each curve and the bearing of each radial line to each lot corner

and highway names shall be subject to the approval of the director
of public works.

the owner of an easement in a right-of-way offered for public use
on a final tract map, parcel map or boundary line adjustment, other
than one held by a public utility or public entity, who has no other

of land, refuses to make his or her easements subject to the right-of-way
offered to the public, but the final tract map, parcel map or boundary
line adjustment in all other respects complied with this chapter,
with the Subdivision Map Act, and with other applicable statutes and
ordinances, and the city council division of land committee or city
planner, as the case may be, finds that the subdivider has in good
faith attempted to obtain the necessary signature from the owner and

easements held by public utilities or entities exist within the boundaries
of the final tract map, parcel map or boundary line adjustment, the
