Be accompanied by a complete survey of the section or sections in which the plat or replat is located, or as much thereof as may be necessary to properly orient the plat within such section or sections. The plat and section survey shall be submitted with complete field and computation notes showing the original or reestablished corners with descriptions of the same and the actual traverse showing error of closure and method of balancing. A sketch showing all distances, angles, and calculations required to determine corners and distances of the plat shall accompany this data. The allowable error of closure shall not exceed one foot in five thousand feet;
3. Be acknowledged by the person filing the plat before the auditor, or any other officer who is authorized by law to take acknowledgment of deeds, and a certificate of the acknowledgment shall be enclosed or annexed to such plat and recorded therewith;
