§ 8207-2.11. Monuments.

At the time of making the survey for the final map or parcel map, unless a survey is not required by either the Subdivision Map Act or this Chapter, the engineer or surveyor shall set sufficient durable monuments to conform to the standards prescribed in Section 8771 of the Business and Professions code so that another engineer or surveyor may readily retrace the survey. A minimum of one exterior boundary line of the parent parcel shall be monumented or referenced before the final map or parcel map is recorded. All other required monuments shall be set within one year following recordation of the final map or parcel map. The monuments shall be set as follows:

(a)

Exterior boundary monuments shall be set at or near each boundary corner and at intermediate points approximately 1000 feet apart, or at such lesser distances as may be necessary due to topography in order to ensure accuracy in reestablishment of any point or line without unreasonable difficulty.

(b)

Centerline monuments shall be set to mark the intersections of all roads, streets, alleys or ways. Centerline monuments shall also be set to mark either the beginning or end of curves or the points of intersection of tangents thereof.

(c)

Corner monuments shall be set at or near each corner; provided, however, that the County Surveyor may waive the requirements of this subsection (c) with respect to such corner monuments as he may deem unnecessary.

All exterior boundary monuments set either shall be of new galvanized iron pipe not less than one and one-half inches inside diameter and eighteen inches long or shall be of such other type and dimensions as may be approved by the County Surveyor. All lot corner monuments shall be of a new galvanized iron pipe not less than one-half inch inside diameter and fifteen inches long, or be leads and tacks, or be steel pins. Centerline monuments shall be of new galvanized iron pipe not less than one and one-half inches inside diameter and fifteen inches long. At locations designated by the County Surveyor, not exceeding four per one hundred lots or fraction thereof, monuments constructed to the requirements of the Ventura County Improvement Standards and Specifications shall be placed in lieu of monuments constructed to the standards otherwise specified in this Section. All monuments set shall be permanently marked or tagged with the engineer's or surveyor's certificate number.
