1. In one of three locations: (a) within tree masses, (b) at the edge of tree or land masses
overlooking open space or, (c) in such a way to preserve the predominate natural features
of the site; and
2. At least fifteen feet(15') from any wetland, stream or watercourse.

development of the site as determined by the Administrator and Public Works Director.
1. Slopes shall be no steeper than 3-to-1 unless qualified soils engineering information is
provided as part of the application.
2. Cuts and fills shall have surface drainage that prevents off-site impacts, provides erosion
control, and avoids impacts to existing and offsite trees.
3. Cut and fill slopes shall be re-vegetated and terraced or controlled by retaining walls to
protect against erosion,sedimentation,and the spread or cultivation of noxious and invasive
weeds.
(E) Structures shall be sited so that their form does not break prominent skyline and preserves
significant views. Development located on ridgetops is prohibited.
(F) The alignment of streets and driveways shall follow the contours of the site to minimize cuts
and fills,preserve natural drainage patterns, and produce roads that are easily negotiated.
