Setback setback

A setback setback! Seems our house measurers mistakenly pur our house at 6'5" from the southern property line (and fence), but a measuring tape and a glance says it's clearly less, about 4'. Within allowed setbacks, but the city's concrete inspector checking placement of the forms insisted on a property survey (!) to verify. Work ground to a halt.

Surveyors came today, and set two points on a 2-foot offset to the property line opposite each building corner so the inspector can measure it himself. Our ethical architect paid for this herself, as it was a minor mistake on the plans, which will be corrected and submitted tomorrow. The inspector said a site survey is SOP; but neither our architect or contractor have ever been asked for one (and it wouldn't have come up save for a minor typo on the plans).
