   (B)   On corner and through lots, in the triangular portion of land bounded by intersecting street lines and a line joining those street lines at points 30 feet from the point of intersection, no natural or human-made obstruction shall intrude into the air space that is between two and ten feet above the level of the adjacent street.

§ 151.038 SANITARY DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE.

   (A)   In all districts, property owners of new buildings and places where people live, work or assemble shall provide for the sanitary disposal of all sewage in accordance with the following requirements.

      (1)   Whenever the sewer system is reasonably available, all sewage shall be discharged into the system, whether or not a private sewer system already exists or is more convenient. For the purpose of this provision, the reasonable distance shall be that listed in Chapter 50 of this Code.

      (2)   Whenever the sewer system is not reasonably available, but where plans for the installation of the system have been approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency or a service plan has been adopted by the Village Board, the developer shall provide sanitary sewers in accordance with the plans and temporarily cap them. To serve the development until the time when connection to the public system becomes available, an approved private central sewage disposal system shall be installed or individual sewage disposal systems may be used.

   (B)   The village staff shall not issue an initial certificate of zoning compliance unless, following consultation with the appropriate village staff member and St. Clair County Health Department, it is determined these requirements will be met.

      (2)   Is accessory to a principal structure or use that is allowed in a particular zoning district as a permitted or special use; and

      (3)   Is in compliance with the restrictions set forth in §§ 151.046 and 151.047.

   (B)   Use of any accessory structure as a dwelling is strictly prohibited throughout the zoning jurisdiction of the village. Should an accessory structure be attached to a principal structure, it shall be considered part of the structure.
