What are the pro’s and con’s of recording an I.O.D via parcel map v. “separate instrumentâ€￾?

Sorry IOD? In and Out Dinner? new one on me.

I think he means Irrevocable Offer of Dedication, Russ.

I like the Irrevocable Offer of Dedication by PM because it is easier to track, the Trustees have signed off on it, and if ever abandoned it can be done by a subsequent FM/PM or deed and easier to retrace.

If it's done by deed much harder to find, can only be abandoned by a deed, need to get the Trustees to also sign the deed and I'm sure there is more reasons...... but this is my 2 cents.

As for IOD (In and Out Dinner) did you know that there is an In and Out Burger Secret Menu?

Yes - there are more than just three choices.....
You must have had food on your mind there Russell - like always.. :)

Animal fries

another concept:
an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication can not be "abandoned" in one motion, it must be accepted first, then abandoned. "Irrevocable" being the key word.
... At least that was the popular concept and procedure in some San Diego County communities about 10 years ago.

I am with Joe, mostly due to the Trustee's have signed off, without the Trustee's being a party to the offer, the offer has not been completed. Our maps include a statement for the County to accept, therefore everything is done when the map files.

and yes most of my day is planning the next meal.

Trustees don't sign parcel maps.

Yes they do. Refer to 66447 which will refer to 66439 and 66436 (2). In short all parties with record title interest MUST sign. If you do not have all affected parties sign, easements may not be created, can cause issues in the future, is a real issue if there is a foreclosure.

My bad - I was thinking of when dedications are not required.

66445(e) "With respect to a division of land into four or fewer parcels, where dedications or offers of dedications are not required, the statement shall be signed and acknowledged by the subdivider only."
