Conditions Justifying

Slope gradient in the development permit area varies from a
low of 15 percent upwards to over 25 percent. this steepness
of slope requires geotechnical examination of building
foundations and slope retainment.

lot grading and building excavation require controls to limit
erosion and undermining of slopes.

slope stabilization by landscaping and man made structures
tequires examination to ensure finished grades are stable.

the area is located on a Slope visible from the Trans Canada
