15.14.040 Grading practices and setbacks.
   A.   Grading operations shall be conducted so as to mitigate damaging effects of sediment production and dust on the project site and other properties.
   B.   The setbacks specified by Section 3314 of Appendix Chapter 33 of the 2001 CBC, are minimum requirements and may be increased by the building official or by the recommendations of a civil engineer, soils engineer, or engineering geologist, if necessary for safety and stability, or to prevent damage to other properties from deposition or erosion, or to provide access for slope maintenance and drainage. Retaining walls and/or deep foundations may be used to reduce the required setbacks when approved by the building official.
