A. Size, Material and Scale. The final map shall be legibly drawn, printed or reproduced by a process guaranteeing a permanent record in black on tracing cloth or polyester-base film. Certificates, affidavits and acknowledgments may be legibly printed upon the map with opaque ink. The dimensions of each sheet of such map shall be eighteen inches by twenty-six inches. A marginal line shall be drawn completely around each sheet leaving an entirely blank margin of one inch. The scale of the map shall be sufficient to show all details clearly and in no case shall be greater than one inch equals one hundred feet. Enough sheets shall be used to accomplish this end. The number of each sheet and the total number of sheets comprising the map shall be stated on each of the sheets, and the relation of each adjoining sheet shall be clearly shown by a small key map on the first sheet. Each sheet of the map proper shall show the date of the survey, north arrow, written graphic scale and other information necessary. The map shall be made and shall be in such condition when filed that good legible prints and microfilm negatives can be made therefrom.

B. Title. The title of each sheet of the final map shall consist of the approved name of the tract, at the lower right-hand corner of the sheet, followed by the words, “City of Montague.” Maps filed for the purpose of showing as acreage land previously subdivided shall be conspicuously marked with the words “Reversion to Acreage.” Reference shall be made to maps which have been previously recorded.

C. Coordinate System. Wherever the city engineer has established a system of coordinates, the survey shall be tied into that system. All adjoining and nearby corners and property lines shall be identified with reference to the surveys of record. Adjoining properties shall be identified by reference to the deed or subdivision map of record.

D. Subdivision Boundaries. An accurate and complete boundary survey to second-order accuracy shall be made of the land to be subdivided. A traverse of the exterior boundaries of the tract, and of each block when computed from field measurements on the ground, shall close within a limit of one foot to ten thousand feet. The boundary of the subdivision shall be indicated on the final map by a blue border applied to the reverse side of the tracing.

E. Dimensions, Bearings and Curve Data. The final map shall show all the survey and mathematical information and data necessary to locate all monuments there, including bearings and distances of straight lines and central angles, radii and arc lengths of curves, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of the centers of the curves. Dimensions of lots shall be given as total dimensions, corner to comer, and shall be shown in feet or hundredths thereof. Lots containing more than one-half acre shall show total acreage in nearest hundredths.

F. Lots and Blocks. All lots and blocks and all parcels offered for dedication for any purpose shall be particularly delineated and designated with all dimensions, boundaries and courses clearly shown and defined in every case. Parcels offered for dedication other than for streets and easements shall be designated by letter. Sufficient linear, angular and curve data shall be shown to determine readily the bearing and length of the boundary lines of every block, lot and parcel which is a part thereof. Sheets shall be so arranged that no lot lines split between two or more sheets, and wherever practicable, blocks in their entirety shall be shown on one sheet. No ditto marks shall be used for lot dimensions. Lot numbers shall begin with the numeral “1” and continue consecutively in a clockwise fashion throughout the tract, with no omissions or duplications.

G. Streets. The map shall show the right-of-way lines of each street, and the width of any portion being dedicated, and widths of any existing dedications. The widths and locations of adjacent streets and other public properties within fifty feet of the subdivision shall be shown. If any street in the subdivision is a continuation or approximately a continuation of any existing street, the conformity or the amount of nonconformity of the street to the existing streets shall be accurately shown. Whenever the centerline of a street has been established or recorded, the data shall be shown on the final map.

H. Building Setback Lines. The map shall show buildings setback lines on all streets by long, dashed lines. Setback lines greater than those required by the zoning ordinance or this title may be established and illustrated, provided that necessary restrictive covenants are recorded.

I. Easements. The side lines of all easements, including utility and new access easements, shall be shown by conventional survey mapping symbols for easement side lines. If any easement already of record cannot be definitely located, a statement of the existence, the nature thereof, and its recorded reference shall appear on the title sheet. The widths of all easements shall be clearly labeled and identified. If an easement shown on the map is already of record, its recorded reference shall be given. If an easement is being dedicated by the map, it shall be properly referenced in the owners certificate of dedication.

J. High-Water Line. The final map shall show all existing one-hundred-year floodplain areas of any stream or drainage channel adjacent to or within the subdivision by a fine continuous line. The subdivider may use the special flood hazard areas adopted by the Federal Insurance Administration or a floodplain information report published by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in delineating these areas. These floodplain areas shall be preserved from any and all destruction, alteration or damage resulting from clearing, grading or dumping of earth, waste material or stumps, except at the discretion of the planning commission.

K. Monuments. The map shall clearly show the monuments used to establish the boundaries of the subdivision or portion thereof, with reference to surveys of record. The map shall also show all monuments set in the survey of the subdivision, including, but not limited to, the following:

L. Statements, Acknowledgments and Descriptions. Below the title on the title sheet of the map, the name of the engineer or surveyor, together with the date of the survey, the scale of the map and the number of sheets, shall be shown. The following statements, acknowledgments and descriptions shall appear on the title sheet of the final map, and such statements may be combined where appropriate:

M. Basis of Bearings. The basis of bearings for the map shall be clearly indicated.

N. Certificates Regarding Tax Liens. Prior to the filing of the final map with the council, the subdivider shall file the certificate and documents relating to taxes and assessments as set forth in Section 66492 of the Subdivision Map Act, or any amendments thereto.

O. Other Affidavits, Certificates and the Like. Such other affidavits, certificates, acknowledgments, endorsements or notarial seals as are required by law and by this title shall be filed. (Ord. 92-01 (part), 1992; Ord. 90-1 (part), 1990)
