If an applicant is denied a zoning permit by the zoning inspector for the sole reason that a plat of survey by an Illinois-registered land surveyor was not made a part of the application, and the applicant feels that his application otherwise meets all the plat requirements specified by this section, the applicant has an automatic right of appeal to the zoning board of appeals to request a waiver of the requirement of a plat of survey by an Illinois-registered land surveyor.

Special appeal forms for this sole purpose are available at the village office. Such an appeal to the zoning board of appeals requesting a waiver of the requirement of a plat of survey by an Illinois-registered land surveyor must comply with the requirements specified in section 10.6.
