A. All surveys shall be accomplished as required by Chapter 332-130 WAC and the Survey Recording Act, Chapter 58.09 RCW except for the above actions a separate record of survey will not be required;

B. All lot staking shall be completed prior to the recording of the land division action. However, in the event the applicant has bonded for final improvements, the staking shall take place as the improvements are made;

C. All corners shall be staked according to Chapter 58.09 RCW and Chapter 332-130 WAC. When the corner(s) or interior lot corner(s) falls in a body of water, over the edge of a steep slope or other inaccessible area, an offset corner will be permitted. When the boundary line follows a meandering line, corners shall be set as mutually agreed upon by the County and surveyor. A presubmittal meeting with County staff to discuss corner locations is recommended. Only exterior corners on a preliminary plat and affected corners on a boundary line adjustment (BLA) shall require a recorded survey;

D. When the legal description utilizes a partial or complete section subdivisional breakdown to establish the boundaries, section subdivision survey information in accordance with the requirements of WAC 332-130-030 shall be shown on the plat;

E. All reference monuments used in the establishment of the corners shall be identified, described, and noted as set or found on the plat. When appropriate, the survey shall reference the recorded or previous survey that was the basis for the currently proposed survey;

F. When the proposed land division action is adjacent to a constructed County road and the corner(s) or its offset represents a 1/16th corner, quarter corner, section corner, or donation land claim corner that is not of record or is lost or obliterated, a Pierce County standard monument(s) shall be placed in the County road. In cases where a monument of record is found, the existing corner does not have to be replaced;

G. Whenever a proposed land division action is adjacent to an existing County right-of- way, the centerline of that road shall be located on the survey. If the existing constructed County right-of-way section falls outside of the documented right-of-way, the surveyor shall identify the existing edge of pavement and limits of the maintained right-of-way section on the survey and show its relationship to said centerline;

H. Permanent control monuments shall be established at each and every controlling corner on the boundaries of the parcel of land included in the final plat, Binding Site Plan, short plat or large lot division. These monuments shall meet the requirements of RCW 58.09.120. For formal plats the monuments shall be as described above except that Pierce County standard monuments shall be placed along the centerlines of the roadways at intersections, point of curvature and point of tangency of curves or at the point of intersection if approved by Development Engineering. If the formal plat abuts a County right-of-way, Pierce County standard monuments shall be placed at the centerline of the right-of-way;

I. Map closures are required for all final plats, short plats, large lot divisions, Binding Site Plans, and any portion of an alteration where the boundary of a lot or tract is being altered. Map closures (mapchecks) shall be submitted for all closed figures and shall meet the following criteria, unless otherwise approved by the Development Engineering reviewer:

J. All existing structures and improvements including buildings, fences, retaining walls, etc., shall be shown on the plat.
