Each sheet shall have a title showing the subdivision number and name and the location of the property being subdivided with reference to maps which have been previously recorded, or by reference to the plat of a United States Survey. The following words shall appear in the title: “County of Sierra.” If partly within an incorporated city, the following words shall be used: “Within the County of Sierra and partly within the City of Loyalton.”

E. Linear, Angular and Radial Data. Sufficient linear, angular and radial data shall be shown to determine the bearings and lengths of monument lines, street centerlines, all interior and exterior boundary lines of the subdivision, the boundary lines on every lot and parcel which is a part of the subdivision, and ties to existing monuments used to establish the boundary. Arc length, radius and total central angle and radial bearings of all curves shall be shown. Ditto marks shall not be used in the dimensions and data shown on the map. The exterior boundary of the land included within the subdivision shall be indicated by distinctive symbols and clearly so designated.

F. Streets. The map shall show the centerline of each street; the boundary of each street, including the width of the portion of any fractional street being dedicated; the width of existing road rights-of-way when available from public records; and the widths on each side of the centerline of whole streets. The widths and locations of adjacent streets shall be shown as determined from public records. Whenever the County Engineer has established either the centerline or monument line of the street and such information is made a public record, this location and data shall be shown on the final map.

G. Monuments. The location and description of all existing and proposed monuments shall be shown. Standard county monuments shall be set at, or on, Department of Public Works approved offsets at the following locations:

H. Lot Number Sizes. Lot numbers shall begin with the number one in each subdivision and shall continue consecutively with no omissions or duplications except where contiguous lands, under the same ownership, are being subdivided in successive units, in which event lot numbers may begin with the next consecutive number following the last number in the preceding unit. Each lot shall be shown entirely on one sheet of the final map, unless otherwise approved by the Department of Public Works. Lot areas shall be shown for each parcel being created and shall be exclusive of any portion which extends into any street.

I. Adjoining Properties. The relationship of all adjoining subdivisions shall be identified by subdivision number, or name when not identified by official number, and reference to the book and page of the filed map showing such subdivision; and if no subdivision is adjacent, then by the name of the owner and reference to the recorded deed by book and page number for the last record owner.

The subdivider shall provide the County Engineer with letters from all serving utilities stating that the easements as provided on the final map are satisfactory. Easements for an existing or proposed utility installation for the use of a private or nongovernmental agency shall not be shown on the final map unless there is a recorded conveyance to such individual or corporation.

An offer of dedication of real property for street or public utility easement purposes shall be deemed not to include any public utility facilities located on or under the real property, unless, and only to the extent that an intent to dedicate the facilities is expressly declared in the statement.

All easements of record shall be shown on the map, together with the name of the grantee and sufficient recording data to identify the conveyance, e.g., recorder’s serial number and date, or book and page of official records.

Easements not disclosed by the records in the office of the County Recorder and found by the surveyor or engineer to be existing, shall be specifically designated on the map, identifying the apparent dominant tenements for which the easement was created.

The sidelines of all easements of record shall be shown by dashed lines on the final map with the widths, lengths and bearings of record. The width and location of all easements shall be approved by the County Surveyor.

L. Greenbelt Areas. Greenbelt areas may be shown, subject to the approval of the county.

Public greenbelt areas shall be dedicated in fee unless otherwise specified in the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map. Private greenbelt areas shall be dedicated as open space easements unless otherwise specified in the approval or conditional approval of the tentative map.

M. Designated Remainder. If the map includes a “designated remainder” parcel, and the gross area of the “designated remainder” parcel or similar parcel is five acres or more, that remainder parcel need not be shown on the map and its location need not be indicated as a matter of survey but only by deed reference to the existing boundaries of the remainder parcel. A parcel designated as “not a part” shall be deemed to be a “designated remainder” for purposes of this section.
