Neighbors warn septic installation could be difficult due to limestone and seasonal flooding
Summary
Two neighbors told the BZA that a limestone bed and seasonal flooding at the end of Skyline Drive complicate septic installation; staff said the county health district already approved the proposed system but installation difficulty remains a concern.
During public comment at the Village of Enon BZA hearing on Case 2025-01, neighbors described challenging subsurface conditions at the subject lot that they said could complicate septic installation. Harold Wilson, who lives at 62 Skyline Drive, said crews previously spent days drilling through limestone nearby and warned against blasting: “I hope and pray you don't plan on they don't plan on doing any dynamiting.”
Robert Freley, another nearby homeowner, said local lots often require mound systems and noted the lot conditions make meeting the code requirement harder. Board staff told the panel that Clark County Combined Health District performed a site approval on May 12, 2025, for the proposed sanitation system; the builder acknowledged the tank installation might be difficult but said the leaching lines and leach field were feasible and that imported soil would be used for the leach field.
