(A) General: Cut and fill slopes shall be set back from site boundaries in accordance with this section. Setback dimensions shall be horizontal distances measured perpendicular to the site boundary.
(B) Top Of Cut Slope: The top of cut slopes shall be made not nearer to a site boundary line than one-fifth (1/5) of the vertical height of cut with a minimum of two feet (2') and a maximum of ten feet (10'). The setback may need to be increased for any required interceptor drains.
(C) Toe Of Fill Slope: The toe of fill slope shall be made not nearer to the site boundary line than one-half (1/2) the height of the slope with a minimum of two feet (2') and a maximum of twenty feet (20'). Where a fill slope is to be located near the site boundary and the adjacent off site property is developed, special precautions shall be incorporated in the work as the city engineer deems necessary to protect the adjoining property from damage as a result of such grading. These precautions may include, but are not limited to:
1. Additional setbacks.
2. Provision for retaining or slough walls.
3. Mechanical or chemical treatment of the fill slope surface to minimize erosion.
4. Provisions for the control of surface waters. (Ord. 1523, 4-11-1995)
