f. Subdivision boundary.An accurate and complete boundary survey shall be made of the land to be subdivided. A traverse of the exterior boundaries of the tract, and of each block, when computed from field measurements on the ground, must close within a limit of one foot to 10,000 feet of perimeter. The boundary of the subdivision shall be indicated on the final map by a colored line approximately one-sixteenth of an inch wide. All areas shown on the map which do not constitute a part of the subdivision, shall be labeled, “Not a part of this subdivision.” All lines delineating such areas shall be dashed.
g. Dimension, bearings, curve data.The final map shall show all survey, mathematical, and other data necessary to locate all monuments, and to locate and retrace all interior and exterior boundary lines appearing thereon, including bearings and distances of straight lines, and complete curve data for all curves.
h. Lots and blocks.Sufficient line, angle, and curve data shall be shown so that the bearing and the length of the boundary lines of every block, lot, and parcel, may be readily determined. Wherever practicable, blocks, lots, and parcels shall be shown in their entirety on one sheet. When shown on two or more sheets, sufficient data shall be shown on each sheet so that the bearing and the length of the boundary lines may be readily determined. No ditto lines shall be used for lot dimensions. Lot numbers shall begin with the numeral “1” and shall continue consecutively throughout the tract, with no omission or duplications.
i. Streets.The map shall show the right-of-way lines, widths, and locations of all existing and proposed public streets within and immediately adjacent to the property being subdivided.
