The application shall be accompanied by written detailed plans showing the layout of land to be used, the portion thereof to be improved as required herein, method proposed for improvement, drainage, driveways for ingress and egress, and buildings to be built or existing buildings to be used in the operation of the established used car lot.

There shall be a fee set by resolution paid with the application for a renewal.
