(a) Construction on dedicated but unaccepted streets.
(1) The County Building Inspector, acting as Building Inspector for the city, shall not issue a building permit or approve plans for any structure unless the site is located on a dedicated street in the city which has been accepted for maintenance by Council, except as otherwise provided in this section.
(2) Council may, upon application by the owner of land located on a dedicated street which has not been accepted for maintenance, authorize the Building Inspector to issue a building permit on a dedicated street not accepted for maintenance where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of this section would result in an unnecessary hardship and after finding that the issuance of such a building permit would not be contrary to the public interest.
(3) The following procedures, and/or such other procedures as Council may deem pertinent, shall be followed when there is a request for a building permit on a street that is dedicated but not accepted for maintenance by the city:
A. The owner of the land on which the structure is to be built shall file an application with the Clerk of Council requesting that Council consider the owner's request for Council to authorize the issuance of a building permit on a dedicated street not accepted for maintenance.
B. The application shall be in a form provided by the Clerk of Council and shall contain, among other items, information that will clearly show the location of the land, the owner, the size of the parcel and the kind of structure to be built, together with a statement setting forth the reasons that Council should authorize the issuance of a building permit.
C. Council shall consider the application at a regular meeting and may require additional information from the applicant, provided, however, that Council shall act on all applications within 60 days of the date they are received by the Clerk of Council. An application shall be approved or disapproved and the applicant shall be provided a copy of the resolution setting forth such approval or disapproval.
(b) Sufficient water required. The Building Inspector shall not issue a building permit to a person unless the premises on which the structure is to be constructed is served by public water supply or unless the applicant for the permit presents to the Inspector:
(1) A certification, by a registered engineer or a licensed well driller, that there is sufficient water from natural sources to supply the water needs, for which the structure is intended, through the drilling of a well specifically located on the premises for which the building permit is sought; and
(2) A certification from the County Health Department that the water source indicated is suitable for the use for which it is intended.

(2) For commercial property, an on-site sewage disposal system permit from the County Health Department and/or Ohio EPA approval for the sewage disposal facility, or proof that the applicant will be connecting into a public or private sewer system.
