Buildings or structures shall be started, reconstructed, enlarged or altered only after a zoning permit has been obtained from the administrator.

Each application for a zoning permit shall be accompanied by three copies of a scale drawing. The drawing shall show the size and shape of the parcel of land on which the proposed building is to be constructed, the nature of the proposed use of the building or land, and the location of such building or use with respect to the property lines of the parcel of land and to the right-of-way of any street or highway adjoining the parcel of land. Any other information which the administrator may deem necessary for consideration of the application may be required.
