Sin�e the dri�•eH'�}' ��� utility liues «�ill approuch lhe new residence <br /> from t6c strcct sidc away from dic adjaccnt stccp slopc, dri��c���ay construction und utilih� <br /> instaUation should also ha��c minimal impact on th: stabilit}' ofdic ad,jacent steep slope. <br /> To maintain the stability of the adjaceut stecp �lope, the new residence should be sufticicntl�° set <br /> hack frotn tlte crest of the slope of �radient 4i1% or morc. It is our opinion that if d�c nc�v <br /> residen�e is set back at lcast 1� feet from the crr.st of the ad,jacent stecp slope of 40% or more <br /> gradc,lhe ncw residenee should be able to ma�atain long-term stability. <br /> BUILDIIVG FOUNDATIOrS <br /> Com�entional looting lowidations may bc used to support the proposed ne�e residcuce.
