Compliance with Zoning Ordinance 18 -4.2:
"movement of soil and rock"
Proper slope construction, control of drainage, and vegetative stabilization will prevent any movement
of soil.
"excessive stormwater runoff'
Stormwater runoff will be reduced in this area, as the slopes will be eliminated.
"siltation"
Inspection and bonding by the County will ensure siltation control during construction. Proper
stabilization and maintenance will ensure long term stability.
"loss of aesthetic resource"
This area is visible from the roads and houses in the neighborhood. Some of the slopes were created
with the roads.
"septic effluent"
This neighborhood is serviced by public sewer.
Based on the review above, there are no engineering concerns which prohibit the disturbance of the critical
slopes as shown.
