   (D)   The lot and location of the structure(s) thereon shall be staked out on the grounds before construction is started, and a copy of the construction permit shall be posted conspicuously on the premises affected whenever construction work is being performed thereon.
   (E)   No construction permit shall be issued for any structure until prior site plan, subdivision and variance approvals, as may be necessary, have been granted by the appropriate municipal agency or municipal agencies in accordance with the provisions of this chapter and until all review and inspection fees on the property have been paid.
