In areas being platted without central or public sewers, the on site sewer system, including the size and relative location of same, shall be in conformance with City, State and Federal requirements including specifically any FEMA rules and regulations pertinent to on site sewer and water. When such requirements conflict, the most restrictive shall apply. In addition to those standards, the following requirements shall also apply unless in conflict with a more restrictive requirement referenced above:
A. The subdivision shall be subject to soil and percolation tests being made to determine whether or not the lot sizes proposed will meet minimum standards of health and sanitation due to limitations of soils as shown on existing soils maps. Such tests shall be made at the expense of the applicant, and a sketch map shall be submitted with the preliminary plat to identify the specific locations where tests were made.
B. No cesspools or seepage pits shall be allowed.
C. The City may prohibit installation of sewage disposal facilities requiring soil absorption systems where such systems will not function due to high groundwater, flooding, or unsuitable soil characteristics. (Ord. 2019-06, 2-25-2019)
