A. The final plan shall consist of 12 copies of one or
more maps or drawings which shall be printed or reproduced in the
same manner as the preliminary plan. Space shall be reserved for endorsement
by all appropriate agencies. The final plan shall show:
(1) All of the information presented on the preliminary
plan and location map and any amendments thereto suggested or required
by the Board.
(2) The name, registration number and seal of the land
surveyor, architect or planning consultant who prepared the plan.

and areas to be reserved for or dedicated to public use.

tract, giving complete descriptive data by bearings and distances,
made and certified by a licensed land surveyor. The corners of the
tract shall be located on the ground and marked by monuments as herein
required and shall be referenced as shown on the plan.
(5) Sufficient data to determine readily the location,
bearing and length of every lot line and boundary line and to reproduce
such lines upon the ground. Where practical, these should be tied
to reference points previously established.
(6) The survey of the outside boundaries of the tract
and the computation of the lot lines, to be performed to an accuracy
of one foot in 5,000 feet. If requested by the Planning Board, the
surveyor shall furnish copies of outside boundaries showing:
(a)
Sketch of traverse lines.
(e)
Computation of outside boundaries.
(7) Contour lines at intervals of five feet or at such
intervals as the Planning Board may require, based on United States
Geological Survey datum.

proposed subdivision tract and checked by the Code Enforcement Officer
prior to final approval. All granite monuments shall be four feet
long and six inches above ground except in lawns, drives and parking
lots where they shall be flush. If the subsurface is a ledge between
one and three feet deep, a two-foot diameter concrete encasement based
on the ledge shall be required. If the ledge is less than one foot
deep, a one-inch steel rod shall be grouted into the ledge.
(9) By proper designation, all public open space for which
offers of cession are made by the subdivider and those spaces to which
title is reserved by him.

Lots and blocks within the subdivision numbered
in accordance with local practice.
B. There shall be submitted to the Board with final plan:
(1) Written offers of cession to the municipality of all
public open space shown on the plan, and copies of agreements or other
documents showing the manner in which spaces, title to which is reserved
by the subdivider, are to be maintained.
(2) Written evidence that the municipal officers are satisfied with the legal sufficiency of the documents referred to in Subsection
A above. Such written evidence shall not constitute an acceptance by the municipality of any public open space referred to in Subsection
A above.
(3) A performance guaranty to secure completion of all improvements required by the Board in accordance with §
252-22 of Chapter
252, Streets and Sidewalks.
[Amended 5-8-2007 by Order No. 25-07]
No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions
shall be made in any final plan after approval has been given by the
Planning Board and endorsed in writing on the plan, unless the plan
is first resubmitted and the Planning Board approves any modifications.
In the event that a final plan is recorded without complying with
this requirement, the same shall be considered null and void, and
the Board shall institute proceedings to have the plan stricken from
the records of the municipal officers and the Registry of Deeds.
The approval by the Planning Board of a subdivision
plan shall not be deemed to constitute or be evidence of any acceptance
by the municipality of any street, easement or other open space shown
on such plan. When a park, playground or other recreation area shall
have been shown on the plan, approval of the plan shall not constitute
any acceptance by the municipality of such area. The Planning Board
shall require the plan to be endorsed with appropriate notes to this
effect. The Planning Board may also require the filing of a written
agreement between the applicant and the municipal officers covering
future deed and title, dedication and provisions for the cost of grading,
development, equipment and maintenance of any such street, easement
or other open space shown on such plan.
