SUBDIVISION MAPS

(1) A subdivision map filed after the decree is entered and original certificate issued shall delineate the metes and bounds and area of each lot or parcel of land within the subdivision and shall conform to the requirements for a map filed with an original application, eliminating however all reference to conveyances from the government from which original title was derived; there shall also be inscribed on the map the name of the owner of, and the number of the certificate of title covering the land. Each lot or parcel of land shall be given a definite designation either by a number or a letter or by a combination of both and there shall be no duplication of such designations in the same application. There shall be no writings on the subdivision map except those requested in the petition for subdivision, or those taken from the map of the original application or subsequent subdivision maps, or those authorized by this rule. All setback lines, proposed streets, easements and encumbrances of a like nature registered in the land court system and applicable to the subdivision shall be placed on the map and those created in the petition shall be shown and delineated on the map by metes and bounds. The area of easements is to be shown at the bottom left corner of the map. If the easement is described in the original application by center line description with a prescribed width, or by metes and bounds, describing its exterior boundaries, the same method shall be applied on the subdivision map as is followed in the original map. The description shall be confined within the limits of the lots in the subdivision, but the lines of the easement shall be extended for a short distance beyond the lot boundaries to show the direction of the easement. Neither the area of the easement nor that of any portion thereof shall be given. If the easement has undefined boundaries except "as shown on map made a part of the original application," such easement shall be indicated on the subdivision map in the same manner as indicated on the original map, and no area is expected to be given. Leases, mortgages and similar encumbrances need not be noted or referred to if all lots in the subdivision are affected. When any of the encumbrances affects one or more but not all of the lots created by such subdivision and it is desired to confine such encumbrance or encumbrances to the lot or lots affected, the petition shall clearly set forth the lot or lots affected. It is not necessary, unless desired by the surveyor presenting the subdivision map, to place on said map topographical features shown on the original map. A note may be placed on the subdivision map, reading somewhat as follows: "For topography see original map and original certificate of title." Topography or other features not shown on the original map shall not be placed on a subdivision map, except by petition properly presented to the judge of the land court and confirmed by an order of court. (2) Every subdivision map shall have evidence on it of the approval of the appropriate county agency or agencies, as indicated by a seal on the map or by other accompanying proof of approval. (3) In preparing subdivision maps for the land court, there shall be added to the title or heading of the descriptive part of the map, and immediately below the present form, the name or names of the owner or owners of the land under consideration and the number or numbers of owner's certificate(s) of title. (4) A resubdivision map is one in which the boundaries of a group of lots shown on a prior approved subdivision map are altered or changed. This map must state the conditions before and after the change, i.e., designation and numbering of lots, and should show in light dotted lines (not even short dashes) the boundaries and numbers of the lots of the previous subdivision. (5) Exceptions to this rule may be made in specific instances by order of the court upon good cause being shown therefor.
