16.20.030 Action and certification on parcel and final maps.
A. Action on Parcel and Final Maps—Approval of City Engineer. When the parcel or final map and other data are received by the city engineer, he shall examine such to determine that the subdivision as shown is substantially the same as it appeared on the tentative map, and any approved alterations thereof, that all provisions of the law and of this title applicable at the time of approval of the tentative map have been complied with, and that he is satisfied that the map is technically correct. If the city engineer shall determine that full conformity has not been made, he shall advise the subdivider of the changes or additions that must be made to bring the map into conformity and give the subdivider an opportunity to make such changes or additions. When the city engineer determines that there has been compliance with this section, he shall so certify by signing the city engineer certificate on the map and shall transmit the map to the city clerk. The city clerk shall determine that there has been compliance with the following:
1. All the certificates which appear on the parcel or final map, except the city clerk’s certificate, have been signed;
2. A subdivision agreement executed by the subdivider, and bonds and deposits all acceptable to the city manager, city engineer and city attorney accompany the parcel or final map.
3. There is on file with the city clerk a subdivision guarantee issued by a licensed title insurance company in the name of the record owner or owners, issued for the benefit and protection of the town, certifying that the signatures of all persons whose consent is necessary to pass a clear title to the land being subdivided and all acknowledgements thereto appear on the proper certificates and are correctly shown on the map, both as to consents as to the making thereof and affidavits of dedication where applicable.
4. A letter or report from a licensed title insurance company certifying that there are no liens against the subdivision or any part thereof for unpaid state, county, municipal or local taxes or special assessments collected as taxes or special assessments not yet payable, and as to the latter the subdivider shall submit a statement by each proper officer giving his estimate of the amount of taxes and assessments which are a lien but which are not yet payable.
B. The final map shall not be submitted to the city council for action until all of the above items are complete. (Ord. 441 § 1 (part), 1988)
