A. The final plat shall be submitted on a good quality, reproducible three millimeter polyester film (equal to DuPont Mylar) or similar material complying with 11 AAC 06.040(a)(10). All lines, letters, figures, certifications, and acknowledgments shall be made in the appropriate black ink and be accomplished with mechanical lettering equipment. All signatures shall be made in black or blue waterproof ink. The plat shall be so made and shall be in such condition when filed that legible prints and negatives can be made therefrom.

B. Two blackline copies and the polyester film original of the final plat shall be submitted.

C. The plat shall be of suitable scale, one inch equals 20 feet to one inch equals 100 feet to fit the sheets used; provided, however, that the community development department director may authorize a scale of one inch equals 200 feet or other suitable scale to accommodate large acreage parcels.

D. The plat or plats shall be drawn on one of the following size sheets:

1. Eighteen inches by 24 inches; or

2. Twenty-four inches by 36 inches.

If more than one sheet is required to cover the plat, each shall be of the same size and an index sheet shall be provided showing the relationship of all sheets.

E. The plat shall be an accurate drawing based upon as detailed a survey as is necessary in order to orient the plat properly. The 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. All monuments found shall be indicated and proper references made to available field books or maps, either private or of public record, which relate to monuments. If the points were reset by ties, that fact shall be stated;

3. 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, patent reserves and any other easements appearing on the plat. All lot lines should be radial to a curve and if not shall be designated “Not Radial.” Dimensions shall be in feet and hundredths of a foot;

4. The widths, bearings, and other necessary data to delineate all easements to which the lots are subject. If the easement is not 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 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. 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;

8. The area of the entire subdivision and the area of each individual lot to the nearest square foot;

9. Building setback lines if different from minimum zoning requirements;

10. Name of subdivision;

11. North point, scale, date, and drawing number;

12. The basis of bearings. Bearings shown must be true bearings and distances shown must be in the foot unit reduced to the true horizontal equivalent;

13. A correct legal description by metes and bounds of the exterior boundary of the area being subdivided or reference to an existing parcel by recorded plat number and recording district; and

14. Plats filed reverting subdivided land to acreage shall be conspicuously designated “THIS PLAT IS A REVERSION TO ACREAGE.” [Ord. FY2020-02 §7, 2019; Ord. 94-12 §2, 1994; Ord. 92-30 §2, 1993; Ord. 90-15 §2, 1990].
