1101.07 GRADES.

   (a)    "Established street grade" means the elevation established by the City, at the roadway center line or curb in front of the lot.

   (b)    "Natural grade" means the elevation of the undisturbed natural surface of the ground adjoining the building.

   (c)    "Finished grade" means the elevation of the finished surface of the ground adjoining the building but which shall not be higher or lower than the established street grade, unless the Building Commissioner finds that the natural grade or the grade set by established building varies from such established street grade.

The finished grade of a building located on a corner lot shall be established by the Building Commissioner, so that the optimum grade is set and recognizes both streets.
