    Sanitary sewers shall be laid in all streets, service connections installed to property lines, and connections made to trunk line sewers in all subdivisions including subdivisions with private disposal systems.

    (b)

    The developer of a property adjacent to undeveloped and unserved land lying upgradient from the subject property, shall extend the sewer main to the outside boundary of the property being developed in order to allow for the future provision of sewer service to such unserved adjacent property unless waived by the development director.

    (c)

    In all developments with private disposal systems, lines shall be laid and temporarily plugged or capped at the points of service connections to the proposed trunk sewer line and individual lot lines in accordance with county requirements and specifications.

    (d)

    Corresponding service connections shall be installed and temporarily plugged or capped from each principal structure in such a manner that a proper service connection can be made when permanent sewer service is available. This subsection may be waived by the development director based upon service feasibility to the principal structure as determined by the elevation of the structure with reference to the elevation of the proposed sewer line.

    The requirements of this section may be waived by the board of commissioners. Applications for this waiver shall be submitted to the board through the development director, who shall schedule the request for a public meeting before the board. The waiver may be granted by the board if it finds that the property for which a waiver is sought is in accordance with applicable provisions of this Code and the county board of health regulations concerning the minimum lot size for private disposal systems, and if the property is located in any of the following areas:

    (1)

    An area of the county where, due to topographic or soil conditions, public sewer service is not feasible.
