The slope of cut surfaces of permanent excavations shall not be steeper than two (2) horizontal to one vertical exclusive of terraces and exclusive of roundings described herein. Steeper slopes will be permitted in competent bedrock provided such slope inclinations are in accordance with recommendations contained in the geotechnical or geological report. The bedding planes or principal joint sets in any formation when dipping towards the cut face shall not be daylighted by the cut slope unless the soils and geologic studies contain recommendations for steeper cut slopes. Cut slopes shall be rounded into the existing terrain to produce a contoured transition from cut face to natural ground. (Ord. 1523, 4-11-1995)
