(B) An accurate and complete boundary survey shall be made of the lands to be annexed. A traverse of the exterior boundaries of the lands to be annexed when computed from field measurements on the ground, must close within a limit of one foot to 10,000 feet of perimeter. The boundary of the annexation shall be clearly indicated on the plat. All lines shown on the plat which do not constitute a part of the annexation, shall be dashed;
(C) The annexation plat shall show all survey and mathematical information and data necessary to locate all monuments and to locate and retrace any and all interior and exterior boundary lines appearing thereon including bearings and distances of straight lines and radii, lengths, tangent distances and deflection for all circular curves. Where, under unusual circumstances, curves other than circular are used, the plat must indicate the type of curve and pertinent data;
(D) All rights-of-way or parcels required to be dedicated for any purpose shall be particularly delineated and designated with all dimensions, boundaries and courses clearly shown and defined in every case. Sufficient linear, angular and curve data shall be shown to determine readily the bearing and length of the boundary lines of every parcel which is a part thereof. The area of each parcel shall be shown with an accuracy of 1:100;
(E) The annexation plat shall show fully and describe clearly what stakes, monuments and/or evidence that were used to determine the boundaries of the legal description of the annexation where found on the ground. The final plat shall also show fully and clearly, each adjacent corner of each adjoining subdivision or portion thereof, by lot and block numbers, tract names or number, and place of record; or by section, township or range; or by other proper designation. The location of all monuments placed in making the survey and if any points were reset by ties, that information shall be stated. Affixed securely to the top of each such monument established shall be the state registration number of the land surveyor responsible for the establishment of the monument. These monuments shall be set at all angle points, and at the beginning, end, and points of change of direction or change of radius of any curved boundaries. To ensure accurate resurveys and future adjacent platting, ties to at least two section corners and/or quarter section corners shall be shown on the annexation plat. Information differing from previous annexations and subdivisions shall be shown in parenthesis;
(F) The annexation plat shall contain a certificate signed and acknowledged by all parties having any record title interest in the land being annexed consenting to the annexation of the subject properties;
(G) A certificate, signed and acknowledged as above, offering for dedication, all parcels of land shown on the annexation plat and intended for any public dedication, whenever the dedications are required as a condition of annexation;
(H) A certificate shall be signed by a state registered land surveyor stating that he or she is responsible for the survey and that the plat accurately depicts the lands being annexed. A statement by the land surveyor explaining how bearings were determined shall be included on the plat. The signature of the surveyor shall be accompanied by his or her registration number;
(I) Certificate for execution by each of the following:
(1) Town Attorney;
(2) Public Works Department head;
(3) Mayor;
(4) Town Clerk;
(5) Planning Department head; and
(6) Recorder’s certificate.
(J) Legal description of the lands being annexed and reflecting the boundary survey and including the section, township and range. The method of description shall be by use of the standard land measurement term and/or by use of metes and bounds except in cases of previously subdivided land. The subdivision, block, tract and/or lot shall also be described. A complete legal description is also required of all the property being annexed, shown by reference to maps or deeds of the property shown thereon, as has been previously recorded or filed. Each reference to the description, to any tract or subdivision, shall be spelled and worded identically with the original record thereof, and must show book and page reference to record of the county. The description shall also include reference to any vacated area with the book and page number of the instrument of vacation, and any excepted tract shall be described as in the original instrument.
