new paragraph reads as follows:
"(6) A survey prepared by and executed by a qualified surveyor
showing all lot lines and easements shall accompany all applications
for building permits on the subject lot or parcel of land on which
the proposed construction is planned. In addition, unless waived by
the Building Official for good cause on an individual case basis,
if a proposed structure has a foundation that is planned to come within
twelve inches or less of any set back line or any easement on the lot
or parcel of land, the Building Official shall require a slab survey
to be submitted to the Building Department of the City to insure that
the slab does no encroach into any required set back area or easement.
Such a survey shall be submitted to the Building Department before the
commencement of any further construction on the structure if that
construction would have to be modified or adjusted due to any encroachment
into the set back area or easement."
