(2) be accompanied by a complete survey of the section or sections in which the plat or replat is located, or as much thereof as may be necessary to properly orient the plat within such section or sections. The plat and section survey shall be submitted with the actual traverse showing error of closure and method of balancing. A sketch showing all distances, angles and calculations required to determine corners and distances of the plat shall accompany this data. The allowable error of closure shall not exceed one foot in ten thousand feet;

(3) contain a certification by the licensed land surveyor preparing the plat that a survey has been made and that the required monuments will be set;

(4) be accompanied by a copy of any protective deed covenants;

(5) be accompanied by a certification by the director that the developer has complied with either of the following alternatives;

(a) All improvements have been installed in accordance with the requirements of these regulations, or

(b) Certain improvements have been deferred in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.80.180(3);

(6) be accompanied by a title insurance report from a title insurance company documenting the ownership and title of all interested parties in the plat, subdivision or dedication and listing all encumbrances. The report shall be dated within forty-five days prior to the approval of the final plat by the City Council;

(7) contain a certificate stating that the subdivision has been made with a free consent, and in accordance with the desires of the owner or owners. If the plat includes a dedication, the certificate shall also contain the dedication of all streets and other areas to the public, any individual or individuals, religious society or societies, or to any corporation, public or private, as shown on the plat, and a waiver of all claims for damages to the adjacent land by the established construction, drainage, and maintenance of said street or other area so dedicated. Such certificate shall be signed and acknowledged before a notary public by all parties having any interest in the lands subdivided.

An offer of dedication may include a waiver of right of direct access to any street from any property, and if such dedication is accepted, any such waiver is effective. Such waiver may be required by the department of public works as a condition of approval. Roads not dedicated to the public must be clearly marked on the face of the plat. Any dedication, donation or grant as shown on the face of the plat shall be considered to all intents and purposes as a quitclaim deed to the donee or grantee for use for the purpose intended by the donation or grant.

The acceptance of dedication by the city shall not obligate the city to improve or develop the lands in the dedication;
