work shall be obtained from the Building Inspector, who will furnish
detailed information as to what utilities or other appurtenances are
located in the area and as to just how this work must be accomplished.
No permit shall be issued unless the Building Inspector is satisfied
that said proposed construction will not interfere with existing utilities
or other appurtenances located in said area.
(2)
Referrals to Village Plan Commission. Where a parking lot or parking
facilities are contemplated in District 6, before such permit is issued,

two feet. Entire portion of curbing removed for purpose of flaring
driveway shall be within the confines of the lot which the driveway
serves unless agreeable to the adjacent property owners to extend
