A traverse of the boundaries of the subdivision and all lots and block shall close.
17. In making the survey for the subdivision, the surveyor shall set sufficient permanent monuments so that the survey or any part thereof may be readily retracted. Such monuments shall generally be placed at angle points on the exterior boundary lines of the tract, and at intersections of center lines of streets and at the beginning of curves and at the end of curves on center lines. Such monuments may be placed on offset lines. Stakes set at lot corner will not be considered permanent. The character, type and positions of all monuments shall be noted on the map.
18. For each center line intersection monument set, the engineer or surveyor under whose supervision the survey has been made shall furnish to the city manager a set of notes showing clearly the ties between such monument and a sufficient number (normally four) of durable, distinctive reference points or monuments.

Such set of notes shall be of such quality, form and completeness and shall be on paper of such quality and size as may be necessary to the standardized office records of the city manager’s office. 6. Whenever the city manager has established the center line of a street or alley, such data shall be considered in making the survey and in preparing the final map, and all monuments found shall be indicated and proper reference made to field books or maps of public record, relating to the monument.

If the final map is found to be in correct form and the matters shown thereon are sufficient, the city manager shall endorse his approval thereon and transmit it to the city council. (Ord. No. 297 N.S., § 11.)
