the declaration there shall be recorded a plat as defined in Section 2,
which plat shall be made by a Registered Illinois Land Surveyor and
shall set forth (1) all angular and linear data along the exterior
boundaries of the parcel; (2) the linear measurements and location, with
reference to said exterior boundaries, of any buildings
improvements and structures located on the parcel; and (3) the
elevations at, above, or below official datum of the finished or
unfinished interior surfaces of the floors and ceilings and the linear
measurements of the finished or unfinished interior surfaces of the
perimeter walls, and lateral extensions thereof or other monumental
perimeter boundaries, where there are no wall surfaces, that part of
every unit which is in any building on the parcel, and the
locations of such wall
surfaces or unit boundaries with respect to the exterior boundaries of
the parcel projected vertically upward; (4) the elevations at, above, or
below official datum and the linear measurements of the perimeter
boundaries, of that part of the property which constitute a unit or a
part thereof outside any building on the parcel and the
location of the boundaries
with respect to the exterior vertical boundaries of the parcel,
projected vertically upward. Every such unit shall be identified on the
plat by a distinguishing number or other symbol; (5) if the Registered
Illinois Land Surveyor does not certify that such plat accurately
depicts the matters set forth in subsection (3) and (4) above, such a
certification for any particular unit or units as built shall be
recorded prior to the first conveyance of such particular unit or units
as part of an amended plat, thereby complying with the requirements of
subsections (3) and (4) of this Section; (6) when adding additional
property to an add-on condominium, the developer, or in the event of any
other alteration in the boundaries or location of a unit, any
building on the parcel
or the parcel authorized in this Act, the president of the board of
managers or other officer authorized and designated by the condominium
instruments shall record an amended plat of survey conforming to the
requirements of this Section, or shall provide a certificate of a plat
previously recorded that is in accordance with the certification
requirements of this subsection. Such amended plat or certificate
shall be certified by a Registered Illinois Land Surveyor as to accuracy
in depicting changes in boundary or location in the portions of the
property set forth in subsections (1), (2), (3) and (4) above, and that
such changes have been completed.
