				  survey and are intended to present the surveyor's property/boundary opinion. It
				  is recognized that certain factors pertaining to boundary line determination
				  are beyond the surveyor's purview and may require agreements between abutting
				  property owners or action by the courts. Facts surrounding such circumstances
				  shall be noted.

				the boundaries between said corners, except where natural or man-made
				monumentation defines or occupies the line. Refer to Section
				20-300b-14
				of these regulations for a description of acceptable monuments. Except when
				intended for use for Subdivision or Resubdivision applications, this
				requirement may be waived only through written agreement between surveyor and
				client and with a notation on the map that all monumentation found or set has
				been depicted.
