§ 36-7-3-6 — Resolution declaring necessity of survey or plat requisites; adoption procedures direction to professional surveyor

(a) Before a survey of a municipality is made
under this chapter, the municipal legislative body must declare, by
resolution, the necessity for making the survey or plat. The resolution
must describe and embrace all tracts to be included in the plat, with the
description being by streets, alleys, corporate lines, other platted
additions' lines, or any boundary line that can be definitely located.
Notice of the adoption of the resolution must be given in accordance
with IC 5-3-1. The notice must fix a time and a place where the persons
owning the tracts may appear before the legislative body and object to
any further steps being taken in the proceedings.
(b) If, after hearing any objections, the legislative body considers it
necessary to proceed with the survey and plat, it shall direct the
municipal civil engineer, if the engineer is a professional surveyor, or,
if the engineer is not, some suitable and competent professional
surveyor, to immediately make the survey and plat and report them to
the legislative body.
