(A) (1) Minimum lot size for a residential structure shall be one acre in size excluding road easements.
(2) Lots platted and on record before the effective date of the ordinance from which the provisions of this chapter derive will be given special consideration when applying for a permit. A smaller area may be requested if a community sewage collection system is proposed.

However, the area shall be large enough to provide for a second private sewage disposal system of a size and type equivalent to the minimum system approved for the lot.
(B) Common collectors are prohibited for use in the county.
(C) The final discharge point of the private sewage systems that produce a surface discharge must be a minimum distance of 50 feet from property lines.
