A minimum sloping grade of one (1) foot above the street level, or other grade established by the City Engineer, shall be required of all buildings having a front yard space. Where front yard space is provided in excess of twenty-five (25) feet, the grade may be increased an additional one-fourth (1/4) inch for each foot of additional front yard space to fifty (50) feet. In no case shall the grade exceed eighteen (18) inches above the street. All rear yards shall be graded so as to provide a gradual sloping grade from the rear wall of the building to the rear lot line. The grade at the rear wall shall be substantially the same as that established at the front wall. The grade at the rear lot line shall be as established by the Building Superintendent.
