Monuments for Condominium Projects

Described,  Street Centerlines,  Boundary

A condominium plat differs greatly from a subdivision plat.  Since a condominium is not dividing land, there are no “lots”, only “units”.  And while the units are described, the unit corners are not monumented.  Hence the boundary of the project is the only monumentation that is required to be set.

The rest of the survey information shown would more closely be compared to a Record of Survey.  All the controlling corners should be shown and labeled as required by Idaho Code.

Refer to Subdivision Monuments for additional information.

Review

·            Are there monuments on all of the boundary angle points?  Do they meet Idaho Code requirements?  Are they identified?  Are they Found, Set or Found & Replaced?  Who set them or where did they come from? 

·            Are there any monuments that are shown on other recorded documents, which may be mis-labeled on this plat?  If the plat is adjacent to another new development, and several calls of the boundary are common, are any of the corner monuments shown labeled differently (L.S. number or type of monument)?

·            If the monuments are a “controlling corner”, were they found?  If they were set, is there enough information shown on the plat to determine why they were set in the location they were?  If a Record of Survey was filed on this boundary, was it referenced on the plat to show more information, and is the Record of Survey number correct?

·            Are witness corners or reference monuments correctly identified and located? If a boundary is running along a ditch centerline, and pins are shown on the angle points, have they really been set (or found)?  Are reference monuments actually reference monuments, or witness corners? 

·            Do the monuments appear to be on the line work, or in the correct position?  If something looks out of place, does it scale correctly?

·            Does the line work obstruct the monument symbols, to the point that it is not clear from the legend what the monument is?

·             Are there any monuments shown on the map that are labeled with conflicting information on the drawing?  If it is in the legend as, for example a brass cap, and labeled on the drawing as an aluminum cap, then what is really in the field?  CPF’s are a prime example of this conflict.

·            Are there monuments on all of the lot corners and right-of-way angle points?  Do they meet Idaho Code requirements?  Are they identified?

·            Are there monuments shown on all of the centerline angle points?  Do they meet Idaho Code Requirements? Are they Identified?  Common problems are found vs. set pins, no caps or unreadable caps.

Field Checks

Ø        Are the monuments in the ground?

Ø        Do they appear to be in the correct position, or do they appear to be witness (or reference) corners that were not shown correctly on the plat?

Ø        Are they capped and are the caps readable?

Ø        Are they the correct L.S. number?
