913.26 APPROVAL OF PLATS.

   Any person laying out a subdivision or addition to the City shall cause it to be surveyed and a plat map of it made by a competent surveyor. The plat map shall particularly describe all lots intended for buildings, streams, ditches, sewers and other places where offensive substances or liquids may accumulate or be deposited. Such plat map shall be submitted to and approved by the Department of Health before any of the lots or parcels of land are sold or offered for sale. In granting an approval authorized by this regulation the Department of Health may stipulate such modifications, conditions and provisions as may be required to comply with Sections 913.01 through 913.29. If City sewers and City water are available in the subdivision, the Department of Health need not approve such plat.

   (a)    Proof must be provided that there is ample water available. This can be done by test wells or by report from or by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

   (b)    A written report of percolation test made by a competent person must be submitted to the Department of Health in order to determine the kind and size of leaching devices that may be acceptable. A written report of the depth of the water table in the subdivision shall be submitted to the Department of Health before any such approval shall be granted.

   (c)    Storm sewer must be provided where deemed necessary by the Health Department with the approval of plans and specifications therefor, as to engineering sufficiency by the City Engineer before any new development is approved.
