    * Must have central water systems.

    ** Must have central water and sever system maximum ten dwelling units per gross acre.

    *** Density bonuses are available for PUDs.

    Note: Septic tanks will be permitted only in those soils having percolation test rates with a maximum of ten minutes per inch and a water table level at least four feet below the ground surface. For lots platted before 1972, the minimum setback from any part of the septic system to surface water is 50 feet; and for lots platted after 1972, the setback is 75 feet.

    Note: If any properties are situated on U.S. 19, U.S. Alt. 27 or U.S. 129, a front line setback of 175 feet from highway centerline will be required for the purpose and intent of providing for future traffic needs, including the possibility of frontage roads.

    Note: For commercial and all other districts, applicants have the option of voluntarily submitting a sketch plan and obtaining final site plan approval pursuant to division 6, section 50-907, which allows variations from these minimum standards.

    In floodprone areas, height shall be relative to the base flood elevation. In other areas, height shall be relative to average grade at the foundation.

    It is the responsibility of the landowner to establish the true boundaries of the property, to enable the development department to confirm compliance with the setback requirements. On smaller parcels, this may be accomplished by the use of string or wire between corners, or by the staking out of the building foundation by a licensed surveyor. Regardless of the size of the parcel, when there remains questions as to the compliance of setbacks, the building official or building inspector may require a licensed professional surveyor to locate the foundation on a survey map and provide it to the office of the building official, the survey to be at the landowner's expense.
