§ 16.16.040. Adoption of subdivision plat.  


Latest version.
  • The tidelands subdivision plat, hereinafter called plat, is approved and adopted as the official tidelands subdivision plat of tide 'and submerged lands conveyed by the state to the city. The plat purports to show all structures and improvements located upon or partially upon tidelands as of the date of plat adoption. The subdivision survey was undertaken by registered engineers who assumed no responsibility for investigation into the earlier use, development or occupancy of the structures and improvements, and accordingly the boundaries of the tideland lots designated T-1 through T-31 may or may not correspond with the scope of historical use and area not occupied or developed on the respective lot or tract. The shape and size of the tideland tract to be awarded a tideland preference right applicant may be smaller, larger, or identical to the lot designations T-1 through T-31, and the boundaries of the tract to be awarded shall be historically concomitant to the area reasonably necessary in the opinion of the council for the use and enjoyment of the structures and improvements thereon by the owner or claimant, but shall not include any tide or submerged lands which if granted to such occupant would unjustly deprive any occupant of adjoining lands from his reasonable use and enjoyment thereof.
