§ 153.32 SETBACKS OF TOPS AND TOES OF SLOPES.

   (A)   The design and placement of tops and toes of all slopes shall not cause any adverse affect on adjacent property.

   (B)   All excavation and fill work shall be designed to be totally contained on the property being developed unless included in an easement or written agreement with an adjacent property owner. The tops and toes of all slopes shall be set back from property boundaries or structures, as far as necessary for:

      (1)   Stability of adjacent and contiguous property;

      (2)   Adequacy of foundation support;

      (3)   Protection of adjacent property against damage from runoff.

   (C)   The excavation and fill work shall be designed with proper regard for any existing or proposed buildings, and include a complete system for proper drainage of the site. Such drainage system shall also be fully contained within the property being developed, except where runoff flows into sewers, drainage courses or recorded drainage easements on adjacent property.

   (D)   The Enforcing Official reserves the right to require geotechnical or other engineering data and designs, where the tops or toes of slopes and/or the drainage system creates or appears to create a severe hazard.

   (E)   Waivers or modifications shall be made pursuant to § 153.31 herein.
