Signature omissions statements and parcel merger

[Paul Goebel]

A merger of two parcels is done by process of a lot line adjustment and certificate of compliance. There are old, unused easements on the parcels for which the owners cannot be located. These are not utility easements, and the proposed development will cover the easements. Is is appropriate to include a signature omission statement similar to that provided by SMA Section 66436? My understanding is that this section applies to Final Maps, although I have frequently seen the statement used on Parcel Maps.

Signature Omission notes are required on Final Maps and Parcel Maps when there are applicable easements. I have never seen a similar note used on a LLA unless it is done by Parcel Map.
