   (a)    No person shall:
      (1)    Construct a marina unless the Board of Health has approved detailed plans for the proposed sanitary facilities as being adequate;
      (2)    Alter the sanitary facilities of a marina unless the Board of Health has approved detailed plans for the alterations as providing adequate sanitary facilities;
      (3)    Allow a substantial increase in the size or number of watercraft using the marina unless the Board of Health has approved the plans for such increase.
   (b)    As used in this Section, “plans” means the specifications that are required to be submitted to the Board of Health by paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section and any additional information requested by the Board of Health for purposes of determining whether the marina will meet the requirements of this chapter.
   (c)   The plans shall be submitted to the Board of Health at least sixty days before construction, alteration or substantial increase begins. The Board of Health shall make a determination regarding approval of each set of plans within sixty days of receiving said plans. For cause, including cases of special engineering complexity, the Board may extend its review period an additional thirty days.
   (d)    Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, a plan approval issued by the Board of Health under this chapter shall be valid for two years after the date on which the Board of Health issues the approval. The Board of Health may grant one extension for a specified period of time, not to exceed one additional year, if the applicant has made a good faith effort to complete the construction, installation, alteration, or substantial increase but has failed to complete it for reasons beyond the applicant’s control. A written request for an extension shall be filed with the Board of Health before the expiration of the two–year period. If the construction, installation, or alteration has not been completed within the two-year period and within the limit of any extension granted under this paragraph, the plans shall be resubmitted in accordance with paragraphs (e) and (f) of this codified ordinance.
   (e)    Plans submitted to the Board of Health for review shall include the following items:
      (1)    A filing fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) payable to the Board of Health.
      (2)    Two complete sets of engineer-stamped approved specifications, as required by paragraph (f) of this Section.
      (3)    Two copies of a completed application for plan review on a form prescribed by the Board of Health, signed and dated by the applicant and the designer.
      (4)    Letter of approval from the Army Corp of Engineers and Ashtabula City Port Authority.
      (5)    Letter of approval from an engineering firm chosen by the Board of Health to review such plans on their behalf. Any fees charged for review shall be paid for by the marina applicant.
   (f)    Specifications for all new or altered marinas shall include:
      (1)    A vicinity map showing the general location of the project;
      (2)    A plot plan of the marina including layout and associated areas, the location of the dock(s), and the location and number by moorings;
      (3)    Marina buildings, structures, and internal street system;
      (4)    Detail of a typical water hookup;
      (5)    Written verification that the plans for any associated structures or other work, including electrical or plumbing, have been approved in accordance with the Ohio building code;
      (6)    Written verification that the plans for the sanitary sewerage system and any public water system have been approved by the City of Ashtabula Waste Water Pollution Control and Ohio American Water;
      (7)    Location and specification for any sewage pump out facility;
      (8)    Location and number of water closets including layout of any toilet and shower facilities; and
      (9)    The method of storage and collection of solid wastes.
   (g)    If plans submitted to the Board of Health are incomplete, the Board of Health may request additional information or may return the incomplete plans without review to the person who submitted the plans. However, within thirty days after receipt of the additional information requested or receipt of complete plans which comply with paragraphs (e) and (f) of this codified ordinance, the Board of Health shall approve or disapprove the plans. The Board of Health may disapprove plans if:
      (1)    The person submitted plans for review fails to comply with any requirements of this Chapter; or
      (2)    The plans submitted for review do not comply with the requirements of paragraph (e) and (f) of this Section or the person submitted incomplete plans fails to respond to the Board of Health’s request for additional information.
