We're trying to get started on our site plan for the flag lot in Ohia Estates. There's not much question of where the driveway will be or the orientation, but what about the septic tank? How much room does it take? Gas tank? Catchment tank?
For maximum privacy, should we build opposite the neighboring house, or try to be opposite their back yard? Anything to consider that I might think of?
Input requested and appreciated!
Septic size will depend on the number of bedrooms .. but.. if you allow 18 x24 for the tank and leach field at least 5' min from the house you will be safe. Call Ron Nickels to verify septic/cesspool requirement.
Propane tank also has to be 5' min from any opening (window/door) on the house/garage/carport (and I would add include garage even if detached!!)
Catchment tank will depend on the size but if you use 17' diameter for placement purposes then you will be again safe in location. it also has to be 5' min from wastewater system (tank & field both).
Other than those items, Mitzi is a good bet for the landscaping issues!
