Monuments and markers shall be so placed that the center point shall coincide with the point to be marked and the top is level with the surface of the surrounding ground after final grading.

(f)

Monuments and markers shall be set after the completion of all grading operations and in such manner as to preclude their destruction during subdivision construction activities.

(g)
