(A) The plat shall show the position by coordinates of not less than 4 monuments set in convenient places within the subdivision. These monuments shall be made of hard durable stone or concrete and shall be planted at least 3 feet into the ground. Existing corner stones and monuments can be used to satisfy this requirement.
(B) If the subdivision lies in an area where a recognized coordinate system already is established and traverse points of the system can be found and used, the coordinate values shall be marked in the same datum as those on the points found and identified by datum on the plat. In this case no markers are required, but the owner of land shall comply with all other requirements.
(C) Markers shall be placed at all points of curvature along the street line, at all angle breaks and at all lot corners not already monumented. Markers shall adhere to regulations set forth in COMAR 09.13.03.
(D) It shall be the responsibility of the developer, its heirs, successors or assigns, to have these monuments and markers placed prior to the acceptance of the streets by Frederick County; and to have the monuments and/or markers placed at each lot corner prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by Frederick County. Notation of compliance shall be placed in both the surveyor's and owner's certification and dedication.
(E) The developer shall be responsible and pay all costs necessary to replace any county grid monuments or control points disturbed by the development activities. Replacement shall be done only by a registered surveyor to accurately place such monuments. Such payment to restore any monuments is to be secured by an agreement with the county.
