building permit has been issued. Such plan
shall show that such foundation is situated

or conforms to variations therefrom previously
approved by the building inspector as the result
of field inspection. The provisions of this

Dear Board Members:
Please consider adoption of the following policies within
the applicable Town Ordinances:
1. Mandatory installation of footing drains on residential
construction. Provisions should be made to allow the
proper authorities to waive the requirement if field
conditions warrant such action.
2. Requirement to submit a certified plot plan showing
the "as built" foundation location on construction
which is within three (3) feet of the sideyard setback
requirements. This requirement would be based on the
"proposed construction" plot plan submitted to obtain
the building permit and/or significant variation from
proposed plans determined at the time of field
inspection.
I would appreciate consideration of these policies at your
earliest convenience.
Yours truly,
Robert G'Ruit
Building Inspector &
Zoning Administrator
