A. 
It shall be the responsibility of the record owner, developer or legal representative, individually or in combination thereof, to preserve and protect the Town's permanent geodetic control points, peripheral survey points or any other geodetic survey point(s) that comprise the Town's geodetic control point network.
B. 
It shall be the responsibility of the record owner, developer or legal representative, individually or in combination thereof, to research and ascertain the exact location of any existing control point(s), peripheral survey point(s) or any other geodetic survey points which are part of the Town's geodetic control point network that are in the vicinity of use. If such survey control exists within the specified vicinity of use, then said project's boundaries shall be tied into the horizontal and vertical control established by the existing Town's control point network. The acceptable error in the accuracy of the field work necessary to establish the development boundaries and the ties shall at a minimum be second order Class II work. An accuracy certification statement shall appear on the separate signed and scaled boundary and topographic survey drawings. All angle points of the boundaries of the project shall show the coordinates of said points as reduced to M.S.L. The horizontal control shall be referenced to the N.Y. S.P.C.S. West Zone coordinate system, as established by the U.S.C. and G.S., and vertical control in N.A.V.D.'88 shall also be identified on the submitted drawings.
C. 
All control points, peripheral survey points, azimuth marks or any other geodetic survey control which are part of the Town's geodetic survey monumentation network and which are located within the vicinity of use shall be shown, called out, labeled and described on all project plans, topographic surveys and drawings and submitted to the Amherst Engineering Department for verification and approval prior to the project reaching the design stage.
D. 
Where the design of a project is such that an existing permanent geodetic control point, peripheral survey point or other survey point in the Town's geodetic survey monumentation network will be destroyed, then the record owner/developer shall give a minimum of 60 days' written notice to the Engineer of said destruction. A letter containing all the specifics of the control point(s) that will be destroyed shall be sent to the Engineer outlining all reasons surrounding the destruction, as well as plans for replacement. All project plans, surveys and drawings shall reflect monument removal and replacement actions. The record owner/developer shall meet with the Engineer for the purpose of preparing the necessary plans, information and schedules for the reestablishment of the destroyed control point(s) to the required specifications of the established geodetic control network. All drawings shall meet the provisions of this chapter.
E. 
When relocation and/or replacement of a control point is required, the record owner, developer or responsible party shall submit to the Engineer record drawings of the permanent control point(s) installation along with tie sheets, control point record sheets, coordinate values, G.P.S. occupation log record sheets and any other information deemed necessary by the Engineer. This information shall be in acceptable electronic digital format and submitted within 45 days of completion of the installation. The installation of a permanent geodetic control point shall be scheduled with the Engineer and shall include peripheral survey points consisting of a minimum of three horizontal and two vertical survey points and the required G.P.S. unit occupation and data collection. The installation of a control point shall comply with the most current N.G.S. specifications for existing permanent first order geodetic control points and any specific requirements of the Engineer.
F. 
A bond in the amount of $1,000 per each control point shall be submitted to the Engineer within 10 days of the notice of destruction to the Engineer. This bond shall be subject to forfeiture if, in the opinion of the Engineer, there is adequate proof that the provisions of this chapter have been violated. The Engineer or Building Commissioner may issue notices and stop-work orders with respect to acts of violation committed during the progress of any project.
