(a) General Requirements. All research, investigation, monumentation, measurement specifications, survey exhibits, legal descriptions, and subdivision plats shall conform to the Minimum Standards for Boundary Surveys, Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Section 4733-37-03.
(b) Type and Location. The intent of placing monuments within a new subdivision is to make the buyer aware of the boundary of the parcel. With this in mind, all corners of interior lots shall be staked, where practical. In cases where the corner cannot be staked (due to an obstruction, manhole, utility facility, etc), an offset may be placed. The monumentation set shall conform to that shown on the recorded plat. If offsets are placed, the plat must be amended to satisfy this requirement. All monumentation set shall comply with OAC 4733-37-03.
The intersections of local or residential streets may be monumented with minor monumentation (P-K nail, Mag Nail, Rail Spike) after the final pavement is in place. Intersections of new arterial or collector streets shall be monumented in compliance with OAC 4733-37-03 and be placed within a monument box approved by the City Engineer.
(c) When Set. Lot monuments shall be placed after lot grading and prior to sidewalk construction. After all construction activity is completed, the Owner/Developer shall insure that all monuments are in place.
Centerline monuments shall be placed after construction of the streets are completed. Monument boxes may be placed prior to paving.
All setting of monumentation shall be under the direction of an Ohio Registered Professional Surveyor.
