applicable.]
No building permit shall be issued for the construction of any new dwelling
in the Village until reasonably satisfactory proof has been furnished to the

or other putrescent organic wastes, for said dwelling, will properly operate
and function in consideration of the actual soil and topographic conditions
existing at the location where said facilities or system are to be installed.
A.
Plans for the proposed sewage disposal systems, prepared
by a duly licensed professional engineer or registered architect, together
with the necessary data as to soil and subsoil conditions at the proposed
system site, shall be submitted to the Building Inspector, who shall review
and approve same before a building permit is issued.
B.
The applicant or his agent shall telephone the Building
Inspector at least four days before test holes are to be dug, specifying the
time, date and location of said digging. Any changes in the time or date shall
be promptly telephoned to the Building Inspector no later than four days prior
to such changed date. In the event the Building Inspector cannot be reached,
the information shall be given to the Deputy Building Inspector or the Village
Clerk.
C.
In addition to the above, the Building Inspector, if
deemed necessary, may require the applicant, at the applicant's expense, to
conduct appropriate percolation tests under the supervision of the Village
Engineer or his deputy at the exact location, of the proposed system.
D.
No clearing of the building site, other than that necessary
to make the tests required to determine the soil and subsoil conditions, shall
be carried out until after a building permit shall have been issued.
E.
Before a certificate of occupancy is issued, there shall
be filed with the Building Inspector a certification from the professional
engineer or registered architect who designed the disposal system, stating
that the system was constructed as designed, and that in his professional
opinion it will satisfactorily serve the needs of the building it is intended
to serve. If during the construction the system was changed in any way, said
change shall be set forth, and the reason for said change stated.
F.
The provisions of Subsections A through D of this section shall not apply to lands which are subdivided and improved in accordance with the requirements of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations of the Incorporated Village of Lattingtown, including, but not limited to, the provisions of §§ 320.4 and 531.0 of said Subdivision Rules and Regulations.[1]
