Grading and its potentially adverse effects on hillside areas (Slope Zones 2-4) shall be minimized by:
a. Requiring revegetation of engineered slopes according to guidelines established by the Planning and Building Departments.
b. Requiring that manufactured slopes be graded no steeper than a slope of three (3’) feet horizontal to one (1’) foot vertical. Slopes less than ten (10’) feet in height may be graded to a slope of two (2’) feet horizontal to one (1’) foot vertical in accordance with recommendations provided in the approved soils report unless approved in writing by the Town Engineer.
c. Requiring that all engineered slopes within Slope Zones 2-4 be contour graded to achieve a natural appearance. Borders of cut slopes and fills are to be rounded to blend with the existing terrain.
d. Requiring road and utility construction in accordance with approved plans and prohibiting grading until improvement plans have been approved for the area.
e. Requiring grading plans to include mitigating measures in accordance with the approved soils report that will reduce underground water seepage problems which may occur because of increased irrigation or alteration of the natural contours to acceptable safety levels.
f. Requiring that grading plans be submitted for approval in accordance with the provisions of the Scenic Hillside and Major Ridgeline Development Ordinance 29.841 and this chapter.
