courses and distances and coordinates shown on the plat shall be calculated. The
coordinates shall be the distance of a point from each of the two lines drawn
through the corner of the outline, as above directed, measured on lines parallel
with said meridian and said right angle north or south, east or west of said corner,
and these distances shall be marked on the plat as the points where coordinates are
required. The plat shall show the coordinates for each corner of each avenue, road
or street intersection and the tangent point of all curved lines shown on said plat,
and shall show accurately the dimensions of each lot. No distance on the plat shall
be marked, more or less, except on lines which begin or terminate or bind on a
marsh, stream or any body of water. The plat shall show the position by
coordinates of not less than four markers set in convenient places on the
subdivision in such manner that from the position of one marker the position of
one other marker will be visible. These markers shall be made of hard durable
stone or of concrete three feet of which shall be planted into the ground. From
these markers, commonly called "traverse points" all corners and lines can be
readily calculated and marked on the ground. If the subdivision lies in an area
where a traverse or coordinate system is already established and the traverse points
of said system can be found and used, such points so used and the coordinate
values thereof shall be marked on the plat, then the meridian courses and distances
and coordinates required shall be shown on the plat in accordance with those of
the already established traverse or coordinate system, and no markers will be
required, but all other requirements shall be complied with. A certificate stating
that the requirement of subsection 3-108 (a), as far as it concerns the making of
the plat and setting of the markers, shall be put on the plat and signed by the
owner of the land shown thereon.

(b)  The clerk shall be furnished three copies of such plat. The fee shall be five
dollars for each set of plats so furnished, except that the fee shall be only one
dollar for each plat showing property or rights-of-way to be acquired or conveyed
by the State Roads Commission.

(c)   Except in Caroline County, each plat shall be signed and sealed by a
registered land surveyor. In Montgomery County and Prince George's County, the
surveyor must be registered in the State of Maryland by the State Board of
Registration for Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.

(d)  (1) Resubdividing in Manner Different from Unrecorded Plat. In Worcester
County if there is in existence an unrecorded plat showing a subdivision, from
which a lot or lots have been conveyed, and the owner of the subdivision or any
part thereof proposes to resubdivide the same in a manner different from the
unrecorded plat, there shall be recorded, as provided herein and in addition to any
other plats required by this section, a copy of said unrecorded plat. If there are no
unrecorded plats in existence, the owner shall record an affidavit to this fact.

(2) In Worcester County if there is in existence a recorded plat showing a
subdivision, and the owner of the subdivision, or any part thereof, proposes to
resubdivide the same in a manner different from the recorded plat, there shall be
recorded a plat which shall clearly indicate the lines, designation of blocks and
block numbers, lots and lot numbers, streets, alleys, rights-of-way and all other
easements or pertinent data of the original recorded plat or plats, with the
proposed resubdivision plat superimposed thereon clearly indicating the lines,
designation of blocks and block numbers, lots and lot numbers, streets, alleys,
rights-of-way, and all other easements and pertinent data thereof. The
aforementioned plat shall be recorded in addition to any other plats required by
this subsection (d) (2).
