Section 82: Subsection 4.020.A.169 of Ordinance 1671-89, which <br /> reads: <br /> "Steep Slopes" means any ground that rises six feet and three <br /> inches or more for every twenty-five feet of horizontal distance, <br /> thus having a grade of 25% or steeper. A slope is delineated by <br /> establishing its toe and top: <br /> A. Toe of a steep slope is the lower most limit of the area <br /> where the ground surface rises six feet and three inches or <br /> more vertically within a horizontal distance of twenty-five <br /> feet. <br /> B Top of a steep slope is a distinct, sharp break in slope <br /> which separates slopes inclined at less than 25% from slopes <br /> equal to or greater than 25%. Where no distinct break in <br /> slope exists, the top of the steep slope shall be the <br /> uppermost limit of the area where the ground surface drops <br /> six feet and three inches or more vertically within a <br /> horizontal distance of twenty-five feet. <br /> is hereby amended to read: <br /> "Steep Slopes" means any ground that rises ten or more for every <br /> twenty-five feet of horizontal distance, thus having a grade of <br /> 40% or steeper. A slope is delineated by establishing its toe <br /> and top: <br /> A. Toe of a steep slope is the lower most limit of the area <br /> where the ground surface rises ten feet or more vertically <br /> within a horizontal distance of twenty-five feet. <br /> B. Top of a steep slope is a distinct, sharp break in slope <br /> which separates slopes inclined at less than 40% from slopes <br /> equal to or greater than 40%. Where no distinct break in <br /> slope exists, the top of the steep slope shall be the <br /> uppermost limit of the area where the ground surface drops <br /> ten feet or more vertically within a horizontal distance of <br /> twenty-five feet. <br /> Section 83: Subsection 4.020.A.170 of Ordinance 1671-89, which <br /> reads: <br /> "Stream" means a year round or intermittent water course or <br /> route, formed by nature or modified by man and generally <br /> consisting of a defined channel with a bed, banks, or sides for a <br /> substantial portion of its length, along which surface waters <br /> naturally and normally flow from higher to lower lands. For <br /> purposes of this Ordinance, streams shall not be considered <br /> wetlands. The term "stream" does not include irrigation and <br /> drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals, stormwater runoff <br /> devices, or other entirely artificial water courses.
