requirements of this paragraph 5.
(ii) The Plan shall be drawn to a scale not greater than one (1) inch equals fifty (50) feet.
(iii) All proposed grading shall be shown with contour intervals not greater than two (2) feet.

Plan for the land disturbing activity. These steeper slopes shall not exceed a gradient of two (2)
feet of horizontal distance for each one (1) foot of vertical rise or fell (2:1), unless the County
Engineer finds that the grading recommendations for steeper slopes have adequately addressed
the impacts.
(v) Surface drainage may flow across up to three (3) lots before being collected in a storm sewer

ten (10) percent adjacent to possible entrances to dwellings that will not be served by a stairway.
This graded area also shall extend from the entrances to the driveways or walkways connecting
the dwelling to the street.
(x) Any requirement of this condition may be waived by the County Engineer by submitting a
waiver request with the preliminary or final plat for the phase or section within Phase V. If such

(1) inch equals two hundred (200) feet showing surveyed boundaries of the property, (d)

subject to the review and approval by the County Engineer.
(xii) In the event that the County adopts overall lot grading regulations after the date the
Application Plan is approved, any requirement of those regulations that is less restrictive than
any requirement of this paragraph 5 that is imposed on the Owner shall automatically supersede
the corresponding requirement of this paragraph. Any requirement that is more restrictive in
such an ordinance will be superseded by the less restrictive requirement in this paragraph 5.
(xiii) All grading within Phase V shall comply with the Plan approved by the County Engineer.
6. Phase V shall include not more than 126 dwelling units and these dwelling units shall count
toward the aggregate number of 656 dwelling units permitted in Redfields PRD as established in
