The final plat drawing shall have the following standards.
(A) The plat shall be prepared, and certification made as to its accuracy by a registered land surveyor licensed to do such work in the state. A professional execution of the plat shall be made in every detail. A poorly drawn or illegible plat is sufficient cause for its rejection.
(B) The plat shall be delineated in permanent ink, Mylar and electronic form (PDF).
(C) Bearings, distances and curve data of all perimeter boundary lines shall be indicated outside the boundary line, not inside with the lot dimensions. When the plat is bounded by an irregular shoreline or a body of water, the bearings and distances of a closing meander traverse should be given and a notation made that the plat includes all land to the water’s edge, or otherwise.
(D) If a plat is revised, a copy of the old plat shall be provided for comparison purposes. All surveys shall be tied into the state coordinate system.
(E) All blocks and all lots within each block shall be consecutively numbered.
(F) On curved boundaries and all the curves in the plat, sufficient data shall be given to enable the re-establishment of the curves on the ground. This curve data shall include the following for circular curves:
(1) Radius of curve;
(2) Central angle;
(3) Tangent; and
(4) Arc length.
(G) Excepted parcels shall be marked “not included in this subdivision” and the boundary completely indicated by bearings and distances.
(H) All streets, walkways and alleys shall be designated as such and streets shall be named; bearings and dimensions must be given.
(I) All easements shall be designated as such and bearings and dimensions given.
(J) All lands within the boundaries of the plat shall be accounted for either as lots, walkways, streets, alleys or as excepted parcels.
(K) All dimensions of irregularly shaped lots shall be indicated in each lot.
(L) All bearings and lengths shall be given for all lot lines, except that bearings and lengths need not be given for interior lot lines where the bearings and lengths are the same as those of both end lot lines.
(M) Parcels not contiguous shall not be included in one plat, nor shall more than one plat be made on the same sheet. Contiguous parcels owned by different parties may be embraced in one plat, provided all owners join in dedication and acknowledgment.
(N) Lengths shall be shown to hundredths of a foot, and angles and bearings shall be shown to seconds of an arc.
(O) The information on the plat shall include:
(1) Name of subdivision, astronomic north arrow and basis thereof and date;
(2) Name and address of the owner or owners of record (names must be printed on plat);
(3) Total acreage of subdivision; total number of lots;
(4) Township, range, section (and quarter section, if portion);
(5) Graphic scale;
(6) Any additional information required by local ordinance or by state law; and
(7) (a) For existing roads and streets;
1. A surveyed and labeled depiction of their location on the map, distinguishing them as existing; and
2. A signed and notarized note by the owner containing the following or substantially similar language: “For any existing highways, streets and roads in the said plat, I [or we] acknowledge that the same are perpetual public rights-of-way and that I [or we] will not cause the same to be gated, blocked or otherwise restricted.”
(b) For proposed roads and streets:
1. A surveyed and labeled depiction of their location on the map, distinguishing them as proposed;
2. A note entitled “Description of Proposed Roadways,” or substantially similar language, and containing a legal description of the proposed roads and streets; and
3. A signed and notarized note entitled “Owners Certificate of Dedication” or substantially similar language, and containing the following or substantially similar language: “I [or we], the owner [or owners], do hereby certify that I [we] have caused to be surveyed, subdivided and platted into lots and streets as shown by the plat and any certificate hereto annexed, the hereon described [Title] Subdivision located in [name of jurisdiction], Sevier County, State of Utah. I [we] do hereby dedicate for the perpetual use of the public, a tract of land to be used as public roads and streets and quit-claim any interest in said tract of land, more particularly described by the hereon Description of Proposed Roadways and shown on this plat. For any existing roads in the said plat, I [or we] acknowledge that the same are perpetual public rights-of-way and that I [or we] will not cause the same to be gated, blocked or otherwise restricted.”
(P) Signatures required on the plat:
