(A) Water supply system. Where public water supply, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, is reasonably accessible, the subdivider shall construct a complete water distribution system, having a minimum of a six-inch main line and including a connection for each lot. Appropriately spaced fire hydrants shall be required when the water flow meets ISO flow requirements. In the event ISO flow requirements are not met, then the Planning Commission, in its discretion, may order the installation of fire hydrants should they believe that at a future time water pressure would be adequate. In the event a public water supply is not within a reasonable distance, then the subdivider shall provide the lots with an alternate water supply that shall be approved by the county’s Health Officer.
(B) Storm drainage. Adequate provisions for storm water drainage shall be provided in accordance with standards specified by the Planning Commission.
(C) Sanitary sewers. Where the public sanitary sewer system, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, is reasonably accessible, sanitary sewers shall be installed to adequately serve all lots with connections to the public system; approval of the size line will be obtained from the Engineer. Where lots cannot be served by the extension of an existing public sanitary sewer, the subdivider shall obtain approval of lot sizes from the county’s Health Officer for individual septic tanks and disposal fields, or approval of a neighborhood disposal system.
(D) Electric supply system. Provision shall be made in every subdivision for a satisfactory electric supply system. Every consideration should be given to the possibility of underground installation of all necessary wires.
(E) Monuments.
(1) Concrete monuments. Two concrete monuments at least 36 inches in length and four inches square with a suitable center point shall be set on at least two corners of the boundary of a subdivision, as required by a certified Engineer.
(2) Iron pin monuments. Iron pin monuments three-fourths’ inch in diameter and at least 24 inches long shall be placed at all points on boundary lines where there is a change of direction and at all lot comers. These pins shall be placed only after all grading and other construction have been completed.
(F) Sidewalks. Sidewalks may be required on lots abutting a public access and shall have a minimum width of four feet.
(G) Intent. It is not the intent of these regulations to impose prohibitive or unduly restrictive requirements upon subdivision development, but rather to promote orderly growth and progressive development as herein above set out, and in determining the adequacy of storm water drainage and whether or not public water supply and public sanitary sewers are reasonably accessible, due consideration will be given to economic factors involved, including relative cost of connection to public water system compared to separate water distribution system, and relative costs of installation of individual septic tank and disposal field or neighborhood disposal system as compared to connection with public system and installation of sanitary sewer system.
