8-11-20: OFF ROAD VEHICLES:
No vehicle, whether powered by an internal combustion engine or otherwise, shall be operated upon or driven or placed on any real property owned by the city at Lake Canton with the sole exceptions of property subject to a valid and existing lease agreement and excepting roadways designed and maintained for the public use. (Ord. 1255, 7-18-1989)
8-11-21: SEWAGE DISPOSAL:
   (A)   After January 15, 2000, all new construction on lands or lots bordering Lake Canton may not proceed until the plans for sewage and water have been submitted to and approved by the Fulton County health department.
   (B)   All private sewage disposal systems existing on January 15, 2000, on lands and lots bordering or adjacent to Lake Canton shall be inspected by the Fulton County health department pursuant to objective standards which consider all pertinent factors. The health department shall determine if existing systems may continue to be used or whether modification is needed.
   (C)   If the existing private sewage disposal systems are inadequate and a private sewage disposal system absorption field or seepage bed cannot be installed the replacement shall be by the only alternate system hereafter permitted at Lake Canton, the class 1 aerobic treatment method, provided, however, that no aerobic system discharge will be permitted within five hundred feet (500') of the pumping area (intake).
   (D)   The Fulton County health department shall have the inherent power to inspect, test and/or monitor any and all new and existing private sewage disposal systems, aerobic or otherwise and to order modification to any system if needed.
   (E)   In all instances the owner of the leasehold improvement is responsible for the maintenance of any sewage system aerobic or otherwise. Maintenance of an aerobic sewage disposal system must be provided on a continuous basis by a manufacturer authorized service technician designated for the type of unit being serviced. Maintenance of all other approved private sewage disposal systems must be provided so as unhealthy or nuisance conditions do not occur.
   (F)   Hookups which would transmit kitchen waste from garbage disposal or food grinder units into the aerobic treatment systems are prohibited. Such kitchen waste shall be directed first into a solids retention tank that is approved by the Fulton County health department. The solids retention tank effluent may then be introduced to the aerobic treatment unit.
   (G)   There shall be no direct discharge of any type of sewage effluent into Lake Canton. A minimum setback of ten feet (10') from the lake must be provided from the discharge point to the shore of the lake at normal pool level. From the point of discharge to the lake a gravel or stone surface drainage receiving bed must be provided to eliminate nuisance conditions and to control soil erosion.
   (H)   It shall be unlawful in any area surrounding or adjacent to Lake Canton to allow effluent to collect or accumulate so as to be comparable to standing water or create nuisance conditions.
   (I)   A procedure guide for aerobic treatment units shall be promulgated by the Fulton County Health Department including minimum sizes for solids retention tanks and for chlorination retention tanks. Such procedures shall have the same force and effect as if set forth fully in this section. (Ord. 1648, 12-21-1999)
8-11-22: RULES AND REGULATIONS, ROADWAYS AND PARKING:
8-11-22-1: NO PARKING PLACES:
It shall be unlawful to permit any vehicle to stand at any time anywhere other than the following places, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a policeman or traffic control device:
   (A)   Campground;
   (B)   Designated parking areas;
   (C)   Sites marked with "Roadside Parking" signs. (Ord. 2032, 5-3-2011)
8-11-22-2: NO OVERNIGHT PARKING:
Except for vehicles registered to a licensed user of the campground, no overnight parking shall occur between the hours of eleven o'clock (11:00) P.M., and six o'clock (6:00) A.M. (Ord. 2032, 5-3-2011)
8-11-22-3: SPEED RESTRICTIONS:
It shall be unlawful to drive any motor vehicle on any City owned street at Canton Lake, at a speed in excess of twenty (20) miles per hour. Appropriate signs shall be posted showing such speed limits.
The fact that the speed of a vehicle does not exceed the applicable maximum speed limit does not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hillcrest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway or when special hazards exist with respect to pedestrians or other traffic by reason of weather or highway conditions; and speed shall be decreased as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person or vehicle on or entering the highway in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care. (Ord. 2032, 5-3-2011)
8-11-22-4: PENALTY:
Any person violating any provision of this section 8-11-22 shall be fined not less than five dollars ($5.00) or more than two hundred dollars ($200.00) for each offense. (Ord. 2032, 5-3-2011)
