(1) A dimensional sketch, drawn to scale, must be submitted with the application showing the proposed location of the swimming pool, hot tub, or spa, the appurtenances and accessories, other accessory structures and fencing on the lot and indicating thereon the distance in feet that the water line is located from the rear property line, nearest side property line, principal building, and any easements on the property.

(5) Permit applications shall be processed by the Building Inspector of the City of Paris or the Building Inspector's designee to ensure that the proposed location of the swimming pool, hot tub or spa is in compliance with the City of Paris Zoning Ordinance.
