Final Plat Map Requirements
Final Plat Map Requirements:
Final Plat maps shall be prepared on a 24” X 36” paper at a scale of one (1) inch represents fifty (50) feet or one (1) inch represents one hundred (100) feet, or another scale approved by the Planning Department.
The Final Plat map shall contain the following information:
- The Final Plat shall substantially conform to the approved Preliminary Plat and the City Council’s conditions of approval.
- The Final Plat shall be prepared by or under the supervision of and shall bear the seal of a registered professional land surveyor licensed with the State for recording in the office of the County Clerk and Recorder. It shall be a neat, clear, permanent, legible and reproducible document. Inaccurate, incomplete or poorly drawn plats shall be rejected.
- The Final Plat shall be either an original drawing using only permanent black ink that will adhere to drafting films (no ballpoint, transfer type or sticky-backs are permitted) or an acceptable photographic reproduction (fix-line, emulsion down) of an original drawing.
- The Final Plat shall be prepared on 24" high x 36" wide flat, spliceless, tapeless and creaseless sheets of double matte Mylar film with a uniform thickness of not less than three-thousandths (.003) of an inch. A margin line shall be drawn completely around each sheet leaving a margin at least one-half (½) inch on all sides entirely blank.
- The Final Plat shall be drafted at a scale that best conveys the detailed survey, engineering and design of the Subdivision and confines the drafting error to less than one percent (1%). Acceptable scales are 1" = 50' or 1" = 100'. When a proposal requires multiple sheets, a composite, on a 24" x 36" paper, shall be provided that delineates the boundaries and identifies each sheet number.
- The title shall be placed at the top of the sheet along the long dimension of each sheet and shall include the name of the proposed Subdivision or planned development and filing number (where applicable). A general legal description stating the portion of the section, Township, range, 6th P.M., and City of Fort Lupton, County of Weld, State of Colorado, shall be included under the name and planning area. On the title sheet (Sheet #1), under the general legal description, include the total acreage.
- A block in the lower right-hand corner shall include the following: the preparation date; a north arrow designated as true north; a written and graphic scale; the names and addresses of the applicant, developer, engineer or surveyor who prepared the exhibit; and the number of the sheet and the total number of sheets.
- A vicinity map that depicts the area to be subdivided and the area which surrounds the proposed Subdivision within a one-mile radius.
- A written metes and bounds legal description of the Subdivision boundary with a map showing all information as required in the Colorado Revised Statutes shall be clearly and prominently indicated on the final plat. The names and locations of all abutting Subdivisions and the locations of all abutting unplatted parcels and public lands shall be depicted. All lines, names and descriptions on the Final Plat which do not constitute a part of the Subdivision shall be depicted in dashed or screened lines. Any area enclosed by the Subdivision, but not a part thereof, shall be labeled "Not a part of this Subdivision."
- Deleted lot lines, easements or rights-of-way shall be shown on the plat in dashed lines, or screened, with a note and arrow pointing to the item to be vacated, stating that the lot line, easement or right-of-way is hereby vacated. (Dashed lines shall be graphically different for existing vs. proposed vs. deleted with a legend provided.)
- Display ties to section corners and to the State grid, if available, which show dimensions of all primary boundary survey control points with complete monument and location descriptions, all parcel lines showing dimensions with lengths, bearings and curve data, including chord lengths and bearings, basis of bearings and relation to true meridian and similar data. Only circular curves shall be used. No spirals, parabolas, etc., shall be used. All dimensions are to be shown to the nearest one-hundredth (0.01) foot or in the case of degrees, to the nearest second. An accuracy of 1:50,000 (second order) minimum for linear and angular (bearing) closure shall be required for the boundary. All internal lots, tracts or parcels shall have a closure accuracy of one-hundredth (0.01) foot.
- All lots, tracts and appropriate building envelopes, shall be located, identified and labeled with the appropriate dimension with sufficient linear, bearing and curve data. No ditto marks shall be used for dimensions. All lots and, whenever practical, blocks shall be shown in their entirety on one (1) sheet. Lots shall be consecutively numbered and tracts shall be lettered alphabetically and in consecutive order. Include the acreage within each lot or tract, or include in a table to the nearest one hundredth (0.01) of an acre. Tract designations shall be used exclusively for nonresidential property, such as areas to be dedicated for park and school sites. All parcels or areas of land inadvertently created and not identified shall not be considered to be building lots.
- All street names, right-of-way widths at each leg of an intersection, at point of curve and point of tangent, at dead-ends and at angle points; and right-of-way line with accurate bearings and dimensions, including chord lengths and bearings, central angles and radii of all curves. If any street in the Subdivision is a continuation or approximately a continuation of an existing public street, the conformity or the amount of conformity of the new street to the existing street shall be accurately shown. Whenever the centerline of a street has been established or recorded, the date shall be shown on the Final Plat.
- The purpose, widths and location (with fine dashed lines) of all easements and all abutting easements. Any easement already of record must be definitely located, and a statement of its existence, the nature thereof and its recorded reference must appear on the title sheet. Distances and bearings on the side lines of lots which are cut by an easement must be shown with an arrow or so shown that the plat will indicate clearly the actual length of the lot lines. The widths of all easements and sufficient data to definitely locate the same with respect to the Subdivision and each lot must be shown. All easements must be clearly labeled and identified. If an easement shown on the plat is already of record, its recorded reference must be given. If an easement is being dedicated by the plat, it shall be set out in the owner's certificate of dedication. A plat note may be necessary to provide complete information of the purpose of the easement.
- Accurately locate one-hundred-year floodplains, all existing and proposed watercourses, retention and detention areas, wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, streams, lakes, inlets, storm sewers and culverts on the affected property.
- Certifications on a single sheet as specified below.
- Names and signatures of all owners of equitable interest in the property being subdivided shall be on the plat and shall be made in black permanent drawing ink.
Plat notes which adequately explain information pertinent to the execution and maintenance of the Subdivision, including the ownership of tracts, reference to the Subdivision Improvements Agreement and conservation easements, maintenance responsibility for private streets, easements and tracts, and limitations on wells or septic systems.
