9-474. Subdivision plats; projection of street and alley lines; approval; survey A. When the owner of land, the whole or part of which is in an unincorporated area within three miles from the corporate limits of a city or town having an ordinance establishing minimum subdivision standards and controls, desires to subdivide the land into lots for the purpose of selling it by reference to a map or plat, he shall first give written notice to the city or town of his intention to subdivide the land, naming and describing the land so that it may be identified upon the ground, and shall submit to the city or town a tentative plat of the land showing the manner in which he desires to subdivide the land. B. If the city or town desires that the streets or alleys of the tract conform with the projected streets or alleys of the city or town, or of an adopted plan of the city or town, then the city or town may, at its cost, project the lines of its streets and alleys to the nearest outer boundary lines of the subdivision and thereon mark the same, and shall supply the owner with the courses of the lines. C. The city or town may also submit to the owner a written report recommending changes in the submitted plat of the location or dimension of streets, alleys, parks, easement for rights-of-way or property intended to be devoted to the use of the public. One copy of the report shall be delivered to the board of supervisors of the county. D. If the report is given to the owner or the lines are so marked and the courses given the owner within thirty days from the date of service of notice of intention to the city or town, then the owner shall cause the land to be subdivided into blocks, lots, streets, alleys, parks and parkways, so as to accurately conform to the report and the projected lines and the courses thereof, and shall prepare in duplicate an accurate map or plat thereof on cloth, drawn and attested by a registered civil engineer or registered land surveyor from his survey of the ground. The engineer or registered land surveyor shall, in making the surveys, leave sufficient permanent monuments so that another surveyor or engineer may retrace his work. The nature and location of the monuments shall be plainly shown on the plat. E. The plat shall particularly set forth and describe: 1. Parcels of ground within the tract or subdivision to be used for public purposes or offered for dedication for public uses, and their dimensions, boundaries and courses. 2. Either by number or letter, lots intended for sale, or reserved for private use, and their dimensions, boundaries and courses. 3. The location of the subdivision into lots with reference to adjacent subdivisions, the maps or plats of which have been previously recorded, or if none, then with reference to corners of a United States survey, or if on land unsurveyed by the United States, then to some prominent artificial monument established for such purpose. |
