(A) No building shall be constructed or occupied unless the water supply and sewage disposal facilities have been approved by the Water and Sewer Department and the appropriate local health official.
(B) Whenever water or sewer is readily accessible, buildings to be occupied shall be connected to these lines. In every other case, individual water supply and sewage disposal facilities must meet the requirements set forth by this chapter and by the local health department.
(C) In addition to the health department requirements, the following shall apply:
(1) The following provisions are primarily intended to allow the construction of rural, scattered lot housing development. The demand for this type of development is recognized but is not encouraged in the urbanized area outlined in the city's comprehensive plan due to the difficulty and overall inefficiency in providing requisite public services.
(2) Public water not accessible. In areas where a public water supply system is not accessible, lots for single-family residences utilizing a septic tank disposal system shall be at least five acres in size.
(3) Public water accessible. Where an approved public water system is accessible, lots for single-family residences utilizing a septic tank disposal system shall be at least one acre, with a minimum lot width of 150 feet.
(4) Multi-family and nonresidential uses. Lot areas and type of sewage treatment for multi-family residences and nonresidential uses shall be determined by the Planning Commission on an individual basis. The Planning Commission shall make their determination based upon percolation tests, estimated quality and quantity of effluent, possible pollution of adjacent land, future possibility of serving the area, and other factors deemed important by the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission may require the developer to submit technical data and opinions from various professional sources to aid them in their determination of lot size and treatment procedures.
