 Article III. IMPROVEMENTS

§ 114-61. Monuments.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    Monuments shall be placed in subdivisions at all block corners, angle points, and points of curves in streets, and at intermediate points as required by F.S. ch. 177, chapter 61G17-6, F.A.C., and this Code.

    (b)

    Permanent benchmarks, to NAVD 1988 datum, shall be set in each subdivision, in no case less than two and in no case more than 1,400 feet apart, or as required by the city engineer, either within the tract or on the exterior boundaries thereof, or both, properly referenced, for both construction and future city use. The permanent benchmarks shall be based on NAVD 1988 and meet all the specifications set out in F.S. § 177.07, and shall be approved by the city engineer.

    (c)

    The location, identification, and type of all monuments shall be indicated on the final plat. All monuments and permanent reference marks shall be of such size, material and length as required by F.S. ch. 177.

    (d)

    All lot corners shall be monumented. Where the improvements are constructed prior to the platting, the lot corners shall be set after construction and before platting. Where the plat is to be recorded prior to construction and the developer is providing to the city adequate assurance for the construction of the improvements, such assurance shall include the cost of setting the lot corners and the lot corners shall be set after construction and prior to the release of the assurance.

    (e)

    All original corner markers shall be protected throughout the development. Should such, or any, monuments, iron pipes or iron pins serving as monuments fall within pavements, driveways or sidewalks, they shall be secured to proposed grades by eight-inch concrete pipes with a cast iron cap for access to the original monument. All monuments must be in place before the developer is released from the adequate assurance, if adequate assurance has been provided. If no adequate assurance is provided, monuments must be in place prior to the approval of the final plat. All land monuments with the potential to be disturbed or destroyed in the prosecution of construction shall be accurately witnessed and replaced at the expense of the developer upon the completion of construction.
