Sanitary facilities shall be designed and constructed by the developer as required for the district in which the proposed subdivision is located for the proper disposal of wastes for each lot, as follows:
(a) Public System. Where sanitary sewers and a sewer outlet are accessible within 1,500 feet of the proposed subdivision, a public sanitary sewer system and a house connection shall be provided for each lot.
(b) Independent System. Where sanitary sewers and a sewer outlet are not within 1,500 feet of the proposed subdivision, the Director of Engineering may permit the design and construction of an independent sanitary system, including a primary and secondary treatment plant and a house connection for each lot, provided that a permit has been issued by the State and that such a system is designed and the plant located so that it can be integrated into the Regional Sewer and Water Plan of Cuyahoga County or a sewer plan of the City and the temporary treatment plant abandoned when public trunk sewers are installed. All operating costs shall be paid for by the benefiting property owners.
An independent treatment plant shall be located on a site of sufficient area to serve the entire tributary area and shall be located at least 300 feet from any dwelling.
(c) Septic Tanks. Where sanitary sewers and a sewer outlet are not accessible within 1,500 feet of the proposed subdivision, and where an independent system is not provided, individual septic tanks for each lot may be installed if appproved by the County Board of Health. In addition, the Director may require the construction of sanitary sewers and laterals for house connections, all of which are to be capped, if the construction of a trunk sewer is planned or programmed for the area.
(d) Design Standards. The sanitary sewer and independent treatment system shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the standards and plans of the Director of Engineering or the Cuyahoga County Sanitary Engineer where he may have jurisdiction. Trunk sewers shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the Engineering Design Manual for Sanitary Sewers and Drainage Facilities by the Regional Planning Commission. Septic tanks shall be designed and constructed in accordance with regulations of the County Board of Health. The developer shall construct and pay for all sanitary sewers to adequately serve the proposed subdivision. If extra-size or off-site sewers are required, the standards for prorating costs as set forth in Section 1129.12
shall be used.
