(A) The site plan submitted for the development shall include two foot contour intervals.
(B) A stable angle of reclines for the properties of soil on the lot shall be provided.
(C) Adequate evidence must be presented to show that undue erosion will not result from development and use of the lot. Appropriate steps must be taken to prevent soil and debris from washing from said lots onto a street, alley, or other public or private property.
