How do I keep foundation layer dimensions from appearing on the floor plan layer........or how do I keep dimensions specific to each layer?

Not sure what the problem is but dimensions go on any layer you choose and you can control what is visible via the view sets

Perhaps you are placing your dimensions all on one layer. You don't have to do this. Place the dimensions on the same layer as the element to which they relate. Alternatively, if you need the flexibility to be able to choose whether the dimensions are visible independently of the elements, then create several different layers, appropriately named to classify different sets of dimensions. You will need to create layer groups to suit.

The Quick Layers Palette will help.

From the Menus at the top of your screen select Windows then Palettes then Quick Layers.

Sounds like you may want to consider placing your foundations on a separate story - then you can keep your dimensions on the same layer. Is that feasible?
