adequately described in the application. All plans submitted for
filing shall be prepared and signed as required by the statutes
of the State of Michigan. Where compliance with State statutes
governing building construction is required, the application
shall be accompanied by a set of the plans approved by the

for any public improvement until a notice of such proposed
condemnation has been fixed to the plans, application and permit.
Nor shall a permit be issued for any building or structure upon
