accompanying the application by an engineer, geo-

structural engineer as may be necessary and determined

accepted engineering practice or the practice of the
particular speciality. This requirement may be waived
at the discretion of the Director. The Building

cost of such review or reviews shall be paid by the
applicant as a plan check fee in the manner provided by
