A. Where a dedication of lands to the public is proposed in the plat, the final plat shall be accompanied by a statement of ownership and dedication which shall read substantially as follows:

I (we), hereby certify that I am (we are) the owner(s) of the property described hereon. I (we) hereby dedicate to the public all easements for public utilities, streets, alleys, thoroughfares, parks, and other public areas shown hereon.

Where a dedication of lands to the public is not proposed in the plat, the final plat shall be accompanied by a statement of ownership which shall read substantially as follows:

I (we), hereby certify that I am (we are) the owner(s) of the property described hereon.

These certificates must be signed by all parties who own a legal interest in the title to the land being platted or a beneficial interest in the land pursuant to a mortgage, deed of trust, or contract of sale; provided, however, that said requirements shall be satisfied by the signature of any person or agency or institution or organization duly authorized by the owner of a legal or beneficial interest in the property being platted to so sign or to subdivide or to plat. Said certificate shall be signed before the clerk or a notary public. Proof that all parties of real interest are included shall be established by either an abstract of title certified to the date of filing, or by a certificate to plat, prepared by a title company authorized under the laws of the state of Alaska, within six months of the date the final plat is submitted.

A right-of-way acquisition plat shall be acknowledged by the appropriate local, state or federal official in lieu of owner certification for adjoining remainder parcel land owners.

In some cases, it may be desirable that access from certain lots or parcels be denied to certain roads or other rights-of-way. In such cases, the statement outlined above shall be followed by one which reads substantially as follows:

Said dedication to the public shall in no way be construed as a permit for access to ______________ Street(s) from Lot(s) ___________________.

B. Rights-of-way not dedicated to the public must be clearly marked as not dedicated on the face of the plat. Right-of-way acquisition parcels not dedicated to the public, which are nonconforming by virtue of zoning, shall require an appropriate note on the plat which prohibits any development not related to right-of-way improvements unless the tract is made conforming under the applicable zoning regulations. Right-of-way acquisition parcels not dedicated, and all remainder parcels, shall be identified on the final plat with a new legal description to distinguish new parcels created by plat from the preexisting lot descriptions.

C. The plat to be filed shall contain a certificate of the land surveyor who prepared the plat in the language which follows:

I hereby certify that I am properly registered and licensed to practice land surveying in the State of Alaska, that this plat represents a survey made by me or under my direct supervision, that the monuments shown hereon actually exist as described, and that all dimensions and other details are correct.
