i have a presured septic system that is located in “the whole back yard” which is killing the plan of extending my kitchen 3 feet…
my back yard is 22 ‘ wide 44’long
the septic drain field is 400sq feet (10×40) putting me 6 feet from the existing foundation
code here for new homes is 10 feet from the foundation
what are the possibilities of a small more effiecent drain systems being out there?
all i want to do is cantileaver out 3 feet tward the existing drain field..
thanks for the input
no sewer in gearhart yet

If you cantilever it out, isn't the drain field the same distance from the foundation?
according to the DEQ here in oregon ...yes it is to the foundation...but it could also be to the edge of the additon even if it has no foundation
bummer, any chance for a variance?

Are you sure they understand the concept that the proposed cantilevered addition would have no contact with the ground?
no but thats what i am going up there tomorrow to do ...good call..
she seemed pretty determented that nothing would work in that area..see what happens...this is also limiting the addition of the garage with stair access to the master bedroom being too close
