(a) The surveyor shall set boundary monuments so that, upon completion of the survey, each corner of the property and each referenced control station are physically monumented.
(b) Permanent monuments shall be accurately set and established at the boundary line of a subdivision, at intersections of those boundary lines with all street lines, at the beginning and end of all curves, at points on curves where the radius or direction changes and at such other points as are necessary to definitely establish all lines of the plat.
(1) Such markers shall be made of stone or concrete at least four inches in diameter or four inches square and properly marked.
A. The markings on such markers shall consist of a cross cut with legs of the cross at least three inches long and at least 1/8 inch deep.
B. Solid iron pins of at least one inch diameter may also be used as permanent markers.
C. All stone, concrete or iron pin markers shall be at least 36 inches long and the bottom of such markers shall be at least 30 inches below finished grade.
(2) At all other lot corners, solid iron pins 5/8 inch in diameter and at least 30 inches long, or iron pipe monuments at least one inch in diameter, with a minimum cross-section area of 0.2 square inches, and at least 30 inches long, may be used.
(3) All 5/8 inch iron pins and one-inch iron pipes shall be identified with a durable marker bearing the surveyor's Ohio registration number and name or company name.
(c) When it is impossible or impractical to set a boundary monument on a corner, the surveyor shall set a reference monument, similar in character to the boundary monument and preferably along one of the property lines which intersect at that corner.
(1) When such a reference monument is used, it shall be clearly identified as a reference monument on the plat of the property and in any new deed description which may be written for the property.
(d) All monuments, markers and pins shall be designated on the preliminary plat before it is presented for record, but the setting of such markers shall not be required prior to the completion of construction necessary to the improvement of the land.
