At the time of making the survey for the final map, the engineer or surveyor shall set sufficient durable monuments to conform with the standards described in section 8771 of the California Business and Professions Code, so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey. The engineer or surveyor shall also set the following additional monuments:
A. Boundaries:
1. Boundary monuments at or near boundary corners and at intermediate points, approximately one thousand feet (1,000') apart or at such lesser distances as may be necessary to ensure accuracy in the reestablishment of any point or line without unreasonable difficulty. The precise position of each such monument shall be shown on the final map. Such durable monument shall be not less substantial than an iron pipe of a two inch (2") outside diameter, not less than two and one-half feet (21/2') in length, with plug and tack, and set at least two feet (2') into the ground or as may be approved by the city engineer. For the purposes of this title, a lead and tack set in permanent concrete or masonry shall be considered a durable monument.
2. The approximate elevation of the top of each monument with respect to the surface of the ground shall be shown on the final map.
B. Setting Monuments:
1. Street centerline monuments shall be set to mark the intersections of streets, intersections of streets with the map boundary, or to mark either the beginning and end of curves or the points of intersection with tangents or other intermediate points.
2. Each monument shall be durable and substantial and conform to the standards established by the city engineer.
3. For each centerline intersection monument set, the engineer or surveyor shall furnish to the city engineer a set of notes showing clearly the ties between such monument and a sufficient number (normally 4) of durable distinctive reference points or monuments. Such reference points or monuments may be leads and tacks in sidewalks, or two inch by two inch (2" x 2") stakes set back of the curb line and below the surface of the ground, or such substitute as appears to be not more likely to be disturbed.
4. Such act shall be of such quality, form and completeness and shall be on paper of such quality and size as may be necessary to conform to the standardized office records of the city engineer. All such notes shall be indexed and filed by the city engineer as a part of the permanent public records of his office.
5. All monuments necessary to establish the exterior boundaries of the subdivision shall be set or referenced prior to recordation of the final map. (Ord. 1212, 11-16-1993)
