A. Required Site Improvements: No site improvements beyond those required by the provisions of section 9-4-8, table 4-A of this chapter, title 6, chapter 1 of this code, or other regulations are required for a permitted use, except that all land surfaces not used for roads, buildings, and parking shall be covered either by natural vegetation, other natural and undisturbed open space, or landscaping. The minimum street frontage requirement shown in section 9-4-8, table 4-A of this chapter, does not apply to original parcels. (Ord. 10-06, 8-23-2010; amd. Ord. 11-5, 6-6-2011)
B. Wells: Construction of wells for individual water supply or irrigation is regulated by the department of water resources. The location of wells for individual water supply may be limited by the Central district health department.

Individual Sewer Systems: Construction and location of individual sewer systems is regulated by the Idaho department of health and welfare and enforced locally by the Central district health department. Lot areas greater than the minimum required herein may be required to assure proper installations. (Ord. 10-06, 8-23-2010)

E. Ranch Ponds Or Water Retention Areas: Construction of ranch ponds or water retention areas, that are over five feet (5') in depth and greater in area than one thousand (1,000) square feet, will require an excavation permit. Excavation permits can be issued by the administrator and will include the following information: start date, completion date within up to six (6) months, property description, size of pond, use of pond, plans for mitigating fugitive dust, revegetation plan to return the area surrounding the pond to natural conditions, intentions for stockpiling or removing excess material, and list of other permits obtained. The administrator may determine that a conditional use permit is required for an extractive industrial use. If neither a conditional use permit nor excavation permit is required, the dirt must, at a minimum, be spread or bermed and reseeded.
F. Best Management Practices: Best management practices should be used for surface water management for permanent management and during construction to control or prevent the erosion, mass movement, siltation, sedimentation, and blowing of dirt and debris caused by grading, excavation, open cuts, side slopes, and other site preparation and development. Water should be retained on site or directed to drainage easements, natural drainages, or rights of way. Water should not be directed onto adjoining properties.
G. Conditional Use Permit Required: A conditional use permit is required prior to obtaining a building permit for more than one dwelling unit on a lot or parcel including, but not limited to, guesthouses, rental units, and multi-family dwellings, unless specifically approved by this title.
