Drawings shall be prepared and certification made as to plan accuracy by a registered, professional, and licensed surveyor or engineer to do such work in the State of Utah. A workmanlike execution of the plan shall be made in every detail. A poorly drawn or illegible plan is sufficient cause for Final Plan rejection, pending document revisions. 2.

Submittal of One (1) 24” X 36”pdf file, and all other pdf documents that are a part of the submittal shall be provided. 3. Plats will show accurately drawn boundaries, showing the proper bearings and dimensions of all boundary lines of the subdivision, properly tied to public survey monuments. The bearings, distances and curve data of all perimeter boundary lines shall be indicated outside the boundary line, not inside with the lot dimensions, and tied to two or more existing land monuments (and state plane coordinates when required by the County). When the plan is bounded by an irregular shore line or a body of water, the bearings and distances of a closing meander traverse should be given and a notation made that the plan includes all land to the water’s edge or otherwise. 4. The plat shall be drawn to a scale not less than 1”-100’ and shall indicate the basis of bearings, true North point, name of project and quarter section, block and lot number of property under consideration. 5.

Survey tie into two or more legal corners or other permanent markers established by the County Surveyor/Engineer is required. 7. The final plat shall show all survey, mathematical information and data necessary to locate all monuments and to locate and retrace all interior and exterior boundary lines appearing thereon, including bearing and distance of straight lines, and central angle, radius, arc length of curves, and chord bearings and lengths, and such information as may be necessary to determine the location of beginning and ending points of curves. All property corners and monuments within the subdivision shall show the calculated Box Elder County coordinates. Lot and boundary closure shall be calculated to the nearest 100th of a foot. 8. All lots, blocks, and parcels offered for dedication for any purpose should be delineated and designated with dimensions, boundaries and courses clearly shown and defined in every case. The square footage of each lot shall be shown. Parcels offered for dedication other than for streets or easements shall be clearly designated on the plat.
