This is less than 5 acres so the structure cannot be any closer to the road then the home.

Likely behind the home.

As long as the system is not over 15ft then the set back from the property lines is 5'ft

The following also needs to be adhered to.

8ft from the septic system

10ft from ANY other structure on the property.

Septic replacement area must be identified on plans

Always notate on plans:

Septic System
