A plat of the piece or parcel of land, lot, lots, block or blocks, or parts or portions thereof, drawn to scale showing the actual dimensions and certified by a land surveyor or civil engineer licensed by the State of Illinois as a true copy of the piece or parcel, lot, lots, block or blocks or portions thereof, according to the registered or recorded plat of such land; and

(2)

A plat drawn to scale in such form as may, from time to time, be prescribed by the building commissioner, showing the ground area, height and bulk of the building or structure, the building lines in relation to lot lines, the use to be made of the building or structure or land, and such other information as may be required by the building commissioner for the proper enforcement of this title. One copy of each of the two plats shall be attached to the application for a building permit when it is submitted to the building commissioner for a zoning certificate and shall be retained by the building commissioner as a public record.

A record of applicants and plats shall be kept in the office of the building commissioner. One copy of a similar surveyor's plat showing the actual building location shall be filed with the building commissioner prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
