Prior to the approval of the final plat, the subdivider shall have in place the following permanent reference points:
(A) Subdivision corner tie. At least one corner of the subdivision shall be designated by course and distance (tie) from a readily discernible reference marker.
(B) Monuments.
(1) Within each block or a subdivision at least two monuments designed as control corners shall be installed. The surveyor shall employ additional monuments when necessary. Monuments shall be constructed of concrete with steel reinforcing rods running their entire length and shall be at least four inches in diameter or square and not less than three feet in length. Each monument shall have imbedded in its top or attached by suitable means a metal plate of non-corrosive material and marked plainly with the point, the surveyor's registration number and the words “monument” or “control corner.”
(2) A monument shall be set at least 30 inches in the ground with at least six inches exposed above ground, unless this requirement is impractical because of vehicular traffic or other factors. Elevation above sea level shall be shown on the metal plate on at least one of the monuments.
(C) Stakes. Each lot shall be adequately staked to show the boundaries of the lot with stakes not less than three feet long and driven into the ground not less than two feet. A stake should be placed on every corner and where the lot lines intersect public rights-of-way.
