Should the builder or developer place any footing/slab within five feet of an applicable building setback line or setback as conditioned by a condition of zoning, the builder or developer shall provide a footing (foundation) survey sealed by a registered land surveyor showing the footing location and the outer perimeter of the proposed structure.
