A.

The subdivider shall submit an original and four copies of the final plat. The original shall be reproducible, drawn on mylar or equivalent (mylar is a brand name for stable base polyester film) three mils thick or equivalent, and be of good drafting, in india ink, with legible lettering. The final plat shall be of the size and scale, and bear the information, specified for the preliminary plat in Section 17.28.040; in addition, the final plat shall show the following:

1.

The boundaries of the plat showing clearly what stakes, monuments or other evidence were found on the ground to determine the boundaries of the tract. If existing, the corner of adjoining subdivisions or portions thereof shall be identified and ties shown;

2.

Bearings and distances to the nearest established street lines, section lines or official monuments which are necessary in accurately describing the location of the plat. Where a government authority has established the centerline of a street or alley, such data shall be considered in making the surveys and preparing the final plat. All monuments found shall be indicated and proper references, including the date set, type of monument, the surveyor and his registration number shall be indicated. If the points were reset by ties, that fact shall be stated.

3.

Within the subdivision, the final plat shall show the centerlines of all streets, lengths, tangents, radii and central angles of all curves, the total width of each street, the width of the portion being dedicated and the width of the existing dedications, the width of portions of streets each side of the centerline; also, the width of rights-of-way, and easements;

4.

The final plat shall show the width, bearing and other necessary data to delineate all easements to which the lots are subject. If the easement is not definitely located on record, a statement referring to the easement shall appear on the title sheet. Easements for storm drains, sewers and other purposes shall be denoted by broken lines. If an easement is not parallel to and adjacent to the lot lines, distances and bearings on the sidelines of the lots which are cut by the easement shall be shown as to indicate clearly the actual length of the lot line from the lot corners to the easement. Easements being dedicated shall be so indicated in the certificate of dedication;

5.

All lot and block numbers shall be shown. Sufficient data shall be shown to determine readily the bearing and length of each line. No ditto marks shall be used;

6.

The names of adjacent subdivisions and the lot numbers of adjacent lots. If the adjacent land is not subdivided, it should be so indicated;

7.

The exact boundaries of all areas to be dedicated or reserved for public use or for the common use of property owners. The purpose of the dedication or reservation shall be set forth on the plat. Rights-of-way not dedicated to the public must be clearly marked as not dedicated on the face of the plat;

8.

All lots, blocks or tracts affected by the floodplain regulations adopted by the city shall be labeled "Flood Hazard Area" on the face of the plat. Such notation may include a written statement, stating the affected lots, blocks and tract by legal description and the report and date of the report used to make the determination of the floodplain;

9.

The location, boundaries, area, and identification of all unsubdivided tracts defined by aloquet parts with reference to monumentation of those tracts.

B.

The final plat shall bear the following certificates:

1.

A certificate signed and sealed by the land surveyor who prepared the plat as follows:

 I, ___________ certify that I am a registered land surveyor in the State of Alaska, that this plat is a true and correct representation of lands surveyed by me or under my direct supervision; that the distances and bearings are shown correctly and the error of closure for field traverses does not exceed one part in 5,000; and that all permanent exterior control monuments, all other monuments, and lot corners have been set and staked.

2.

Where a dedication of land to the public is proposed in the plat, the final plat shall bear a statement of ownership and dedication as follows:

CERTIFICATE OF OWNERSHIP AND DEDICATION

 I (we) hereby certify that I am (we are) the owner(s) of the property shown and described hereon and that I (we) hereby adopt this plan of subdivision with my (our) free consent, and dedicate all streets, alleys, walks, parks and other open spaces to public or private use as noted.

Final Plat Monuments.

1.

Primary monuments must be established for surveys as set forth herein. A primary monument must consist of a minimum two-inch diameter metal pipe at least thirty (30) inches long with a minimum four-inch flange at the bottom. A minimum two and one-half inch diameter metal cap must be permanently attached at the top. If both the cap and the pipe are of nonferrous metal, then additives with magnetic qualities must be permanently attached at both the top and bottom of the monument. Every primary monument cap must be permanently stamped with the year set, the surveyor's registration number, and the corner identification. If it is impractical to set the primary monument as laid out in these standards one of the following may be substituted: A cap grouted into firm stone or a durable tablet containing a minimum of two cubic feet of concrete and a cap marking the actual corner point.

2.

Every subdivision must have a minimum of two primary monuments set or recovered on the boundary of the subdivision. All angle points along the subdivision boundary should have a primary monument. Primary monuments along a subdivision boundary may not be situated more than 1320.00 feet apart. If an exterior boundary line is less than 2540.00 feet, but more than 1320.00 feet long, then the immediate primary monument must be set as close to the midpoint as practical. If the point for a primary monument is in a place that would be impractical to monument because of natural obstacles such as water bodies or roads a corner must be set. The witness distance and course must be shown on the plat of survey from the existing monument as set to the true corner position. Witness corners must always be set on a survey property line at a distance considered reasonable and practical from the true corner point. Witness corners must comply with the standards for primary monuments.

3.

Secondary monuments shall be used for property line curvature control, at interior angle points, and on interior lines that exceed 1320.00 feet in length and are not monumented with primary monuments and all other corners that are part of the subdivision. Secondary monuments will consist of at least a five-eighths inch metal bar four feet long with one and one-half inch cap attached at the top with the surveyor's registration number and corner identification stamped on the top.

4.

Monument Accessories. Secondary monuments do not require monument accessories. All primary monuments must be referenced to at least three bearing trees or objects. If bearing trees or objects are used, they must be located as nearly as possible at right angles and may not be farther than one hundred (100) feet from the monument. A distance to trees or objects must be measured at waist height and in the case of trees measured to the center of the tree with distances reduced to horizontal equivalent. Bearing trees must be marked with a nonferrous metal tag of at least nine square inches in size which must be placed facing the monument. These tags must be clearly and permanently marked as to the corner nomenclature and distance.

D.

The final plat shall bear the following information:

1.

A statement referring to private covenants governing the subdivision, if any, as follows:

 Restrictive covenants were recorded _______, 20___, at the _______ Recording District in Book _____, Page _____.

2.

A statement limiting placement of habitable structures if any portion of the plat depicts areas within shorelands. The statement, where required, shall read:

 No habitable structure may be placed upon any lot which shall have an elevation of the lowest floor, including a basement of less than, at, or above the highest known water elevation to comply with the floodplain provisions.

E.

Development Plat Restriction. All major subdivisions or other plats requiring public construction improvements shall contain the following plat restriction which shall conspicuously appear on the face of the final plat:

No lot tract, or parcel within this subdivision may be conveyed by OWNER until served by road, water, and sewer and said improvements have been inspected, approved and accepted for maintenance by the City of Hoonah, Alaska.
