B. 
All exterior boundary monuments shall be set prior to recordation of the final map or parcel map unless extensive grading operations or improvement work makes it impractical to set such monuments. In the event any or all of the boundary monuments are to be set after recordation of the final map or parcel map, prior to the submission of such map to the town engineer for filing, the engineer or surveyor making the survey shall, in addition to furnishing field notes showing the boundary survey as required by Section 14.40.030, furnish evidence acceptable to the town engineer to substantiate his or her reasons for deferring the setting of such monuments until after recordation of such map.

If the engineer or surveyor fails to comply with such directive within the specified time, and if no request for an extension of time has been submitted in writing and granted within such time, the town engineer shall, without further notice, submit a written complaint and request for disciplinary action against such engineer or surveyor to the State Board of Registration for Civil and Professional Engineers.

The level notes will be submitted to the public works department for approval. After approval of the notes, the developer's engineer will mark on the brass cap the town of Loomis benchmark number, the date, and the R.C.E. or L.S. number of the person certifying the level notes.
