vi <br />Ramsey County Department of Public Works <br />Paul L. Kirkwold, <br />Director and County Engineer <br />May 15, 1992 <br />TO: Municipalities within Ramsey County <br />RE: <br />Administration <br />Land Survey <br />St. Peter St. <br />Suite 270 <br />St. Paul <br />P4 /55102 <br />98-4127 <br />924515 <br />fir/ CC <br />Placement of Durable Iron Monuments for Marking —'6 <br />Platted Lots, Blocks and Boundaries <br />(M.S. 1990, Chapter 505.02, Subd. 1) <br />ngtneering <br />Operations <br />N. Rice St. <br />Shoreview <br />MN/55126 <br />(612) 484 -9104 <br />FAX 482 -5232 <br />Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 505.02, Subdivision 1, has been <br />amended. Over the years the statute has required monuments to be <br />set upon recording of the plat. As a matter of policy, Ramsey <br />County has checked the monuments to ensure they have been set <br />prior to approval by the County Surveyor for recording of the <br />plat. <br />The amendment, a bill signed by Governor Carlson on 28 April <br />1992, allows up to one year after recording for the monuments to <br />be placed. The change is "...or will be set within one year <br />after recording, or sooner as specified by the approving local <br />•overnmental unit. A financial •uarantee ma be re.uired for the <br />placement of monuments." <br />As a municipality within Ramsey County, it will now be your <br />responsibility to ensure compliance with the statute <br />requirements. The County Surveyor will no longer field check <br />monuments unless an agreement can be reached between the <br />municipality and Ramsey County as to when the monuments will be <br />set and field checked, and under what time guidelines. <br />The amendment will take effect August 1, 1992. I again want to <br />emphasize, the Ramsey County Surveyor will cease his plat <br />monumentation field check at this time unless an agreement is <br />reached with the municipality prior to this date. <br />I would appreciate if you would send me a copy of the resolution <br />creating your municipality's policy on this matter. Please <br />no 'f-yc me of your intentions and I will proceed according to your <br />sponse. <br />vid D.
