  § 20.60.200. Survey and monumentation.  

Latest version.

  • A.

    All subdivisions shall be surveyed except subdivisions which only eliminate existing property lines.

    B.

    The subdivision of sections into aliquot parts and restoration of lost corners shall be performed in accordance with the current U.S. Bureau of Land Management Manual of Surveying Instructions unless the historical survey record indicates otherwise. Reference to the BLM manual used shall be noted on the plat. All section subdivision details executed as part of the subdivision work shall be monumented and shown on the plat. When a center ¼ corner must be determined it shall be set. A minimum survey accuracy of 1:5000 is required. Monuments shall be set in a professional manner.

    C.

    All corners and monuments found and set shall be shown and described on the plat with the following information: date set, type of monument, and surveyor, as well as any other information marked on the corner or monument. Standard or recurring information may be shown in the monument description in the legend.

    D.

    All monuments of record essential to the subdivision must be found. If any monument is missing or is found disturbed or destroyed, it shall be remonumented or reference monumented as appropriate.

    E.

    Monuments shall be set at all ¼ and 1/16 corners controlling the location of a subdivision. When these requirements cannot be met, a reference monument shall be tied to the subdivision lines. Exterior angle points in the subdivision and lot corners shall be marked by at least 5/8 " × 24" iron rod and cap if not otherwise monumented. Unless approved by the planning director, only monuments pertinent to the boundary of the subdivision, lot corners, angle points, or points on line needed due to topography or to keep the distance between monumented points to less than 1,320 feet may be set. Extraneous or incorrectly set monuments shall be removed prior to filing the final plat.

    F.

    Bearings and distances between the nearest subdivision property lines and official GLO or BLM monuments shall be accurately described and delineated on the plat and the basis of bearings shall be indicated.

    G.

    Unless otherwise provided, the ¼ and 1/16 monuments required by KPB 20.60.200(E) shall consist of a marker equivalent in permanence to a metal marker which is 30 inches in length and has a metal cap at the top with a minimum diameter of 2 inches. Such monuments shall clearly display the following information: year set, monument identification (township, range, section, and corner number), and registration number of surveyor.
