less than one-half inch (1/2") in height, north directional
point, map scale, and date of final survey.
(3) The map shall show all survey and mathematical
information and data necessary to locate all monuments, and
to locate and retrace any and all interior and exterior
boundary lines appearing thereon including bearings and
distances of straight lines, radii, arc and tangent lengths of all
curves. The final map shall particularly define, designate and
delineate all road and alley rights-of-way and easements and
other parcels offered for dedication for public use.

showing of, the precise placement, sizing and characteristics of
water lines, drainage measures, streets, street curbs and similar
constructed utilities. The as-built drawing shall be to
specifications satisfactory to the Commission.
(c) Acceptance of Dedication to be Signed by the Governor.
The Governor shall not withhold acceptance of the dedication of
any right-of-way in any agricultural subdivision provided the
subdivision shall have had de facto existence at the time of this
Law and the right-of-way is at least twenty (20) feet wide;
provided, however, that the owners of the properties within said
subdivision shall organize themselves for the creation of
improvement districts for the construction, or reconstruction, of
needed public facilities in accordance with the provisions of the
Improvement District Law (Chapter 69 of this Title), as amended;
and provided further that the acceptance of the dedication herein
