§ 3-5-94. Standards.

(a)

Slopes may not exceed four to one (4:1) (horizontal to vertical) except that slopes permitted by the county health department shall be allowed for septic system installation in the area of the septic system and in accordance with all applicable regulations.

(b)

Where an adjoining property has a structure at a lower elevation than the proposed structure and the existing slope on the adjoining property is sloping downward from the proposed structure, a swale must be provided entirely on the subject property in order to ensure that drainage occurs across the subject property without interference to drainage of the adjoining parcel.

(c)

During construction, the existing front and side swales must not be filled or obstructed in any way, and the adjacent property's drainage must be maintained. Except at the high point for drainage, the installation of a temporary pipe shall be required in the county right-of-way to maintain drainage during clearing and fill operation and throughout construction. Temporary pipe must remain in place until permanent pipe (if any) is placed.
