Prior to the granting of Final Plat approval, the subdivider shall have installed or shall have furnished adequate bond, as provided in Section 1181.13 hereof, for the ultimate installation of the following:
(a) Public sanitary sewers shall be installed to adequately serve all lots, including lateral connections. Public sewer system extensions shall meet the requirements of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio E.P.A.) and all Village standards. Combinations of sanitary sewers and storm sewers shall be prohibited. The Village Administrator will review all sanitary sewer proposals.
(b) Where exceptional circumstances warrant, as determined by the Planning Commission, the subdivider may provide a private sewer extension to serve the property being platted. Any private sewer line extensions must meet all Village and Ohio E.P.A. standards as well as those of the appropriate Board of Health and be approved by the Village Administrator. The subdivider, his heirs/successors and assigns shall be responsible for the maintenance of the private line. Under no circumstances will the Village assume ownership or maintenance responsibilities for private lines so installed. The subdivider must agree to tap into the public sewer system should public sewers be extended to the property.
(c) Where exceptional circumstances warrant, as determined by the Planning Commission, the subdivider may provide an adequate private sanitary treatment plant, or package plant, and the necessary sanitary sewer lines accessible to each lot. The system, where practicable, is to be designed so it can be integrated into the master plan of sanitary sewers when the public sewers are installed.
(d) Where exceptional circumstances warrant, as determined by the Planning Commission, the subdivider may provide private on-site sewage disposal systems, typically a septic tank and leach field system, for lots of one (1) acre or more in area if soil percolation tests, as prescribed by the appropriate Board of Health, have indicated a reasonably useful life for such disposal methods and all other relevant requirements of the appropriate Board of Health have been met. Other private onsite disposal methods may be approved by the appropriate Board of Health.
(e) Where a public sanitary sewer extension is provided by the developer, such sanitary sewer lines shall be installed within the public road right-of-way, unless exceptional circumstances warrant their location elsewhere.
(f) All lateral connections shall be a minimum of six (6) inches in diameter.
(g) The minimum elevation at the top of any sanitary manhole casting shall be not less than one (1) foot higher than the estimated twenty-five (25) year high water level.
