Standards for survey
monuments within subdivisions are as follows:
(a) Concrete monuments. Concrete survey monuments four
inches (4") in diameter or square, three feet (3') long and having a flat top shall
be located in all street corners, points of curve in streets, right-angle points and
points where the street line intersects the exterior boundaries of the subdivision. The
top of all concrete monuments shall have a metal cross, plug or disk permanently implanted
at the center for identifying the location and shall be set flush with the finished grade.
(b) Iron pipe and rod monuments. All lot corners not
requiring concrete monuments shall be marked with iron pipe monuments or iron rod
monuments each not less than five-eighths inch (_") in diameter and twenty-four
inches (24") long. Such monuments shall be driven so as to be flush with the finished
grade. As used herein, the term "iron" shall include iron, steel or any ferrous
material exhibiting the strength, longevity and magnetic properties commonly associated
with iron. When rock is encountered, a hole shall be drilled four inches (4") deep in
the rock, into which shall be cemented a steel rod not less than one-half inch (½")
in diameter, the top of which shall be flush with the finished grade line.
(c) Inspection. Upon completion of subdivision streets,
sewers, waterlines and other improvements, all survey monuments required by this chapter
shall be clearly visible for inspection and use. Subsequent to completion of all
improvement, but prior to final release of surety for a subdivision or any part thereof,
the subdivider shall provide to the agent a surveyor’s certification that the
monuments as shown on the record plat have been installed, were properly set, are property
aligned, and are undamaged. The subdivider shall be responsible for replacing any monument
which is damaged, destroyed, removed, or knocked out of alignment during construction.
