The top of slopes shall be located a minimum of two feet from the adjoining property line,. The toe of slopes, shall be located a minimum of two feet from adjoining property lines. The City Engineer may require more than the minimum distance from property line to the top on toe of slope if in his opinion a hazardous condition would result. -8- SECTION 7318. STEEPNESS OF SLOPES. 1 . No excavation shall be made with a cut face steeper than one and one'-half horizontal to one vertical, nor shall fills be made with slopes steeper than two horizontal to one vertical. 2. The City Engineer may require slopes less steep than those required in (1) above, if there is evidence that the materials to be exposed on the slopes are unusually subject to erosion, or if other conditions not considered by the Soils Engineer's report make such flatter slopes necessary for stability or safety. 3. Steeper slopes than those required in (1) above may be permitted by the City Engineer, subject to the following conditions : That a written report by a Soils Engineer, stating that he has investigated the site, made adequate tests and calculations, together with his opinion as to the degree of cut and/or fill slopes which may be constructed without endangering health, safety or property. SECTION 7319. MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF SLOPES. No cut or fill slope shall be constructed over thirty feet in height unless the City Engineer is furnished evidence by a written report from a Soils Engineer that such slopes will be stable with a factor of at least one and five-tenths (1 .5). SECTION 7320. DRAINAGE. GENERAL. For all cut or fill slopes there shall be drainage provisions, which shall be of such design as to carry surface waters to the nearest practicable street, storm drain, or natural watercourse, or a safe place to deposit and receive such waters. Said drainage provisions shall be of such design so as not to endanger the health and safety or any property, either private or public. No surface waters shall drain over cut or fill slopes. SECTION 7321 . CROSS DRAINAGE REQUIREMENTS. 1 . There shall be at least one terrace not less than five feet in width constructed in compliance with the following schedule in every fill slope greater than twenty feet in height or in cut slopes where the soil structure so requires. Said terrace shall be constructed so that surface drainage shall be collected in a gutter or similar divide located at the toe of the slope which terminates in the terrace. Water shall be carried laterally in said terrace to a catchbasin or similar structure designed to collect surface drainage, said water to then be carried in a culvert or similar structure designed to take such water to the nearest practicable street, storm drain or natural watercourse approved by the City Engineer as a safe place b deposit or receive said water. -9- I 2. Schedule of Required Terraces. Vertical Height of Slope in Feet Required Terraces Location of Terrace Less than 20 None None 20 and less than 40 1 Middle one-third of slope. 40 and less than 60 2 Equidistant from top to toe. 60 and greater One for each 20 feet above Space equally from 20 feet top to toe. 3. Other types of surface protection will be permitted in lieu of terraces, when plans and specifications are submitted by the Tract Engineer or Soils Engineer, and said protection is approved by the City Engineer. SECTION 7322. COMPACTION OF FILLS. A. All fills intended to support buildings or structures and all fill slopes shall be made to a minimum of ninety percent compaction in accordance with ASTM Test No. D-698-42T, modified to use a ten pound hammer falling twenty-five times from a height of eighteen inches on each of three equal layers in one—thirtieth (1/30) of a cubic foot compaction cylinder, or other density test methods which will obtain equivalent results. Where other methods are used, evidence shall be submitted to show that for the specific materials to be used, equivalent results will be obtained. Compaction of temporary storage fills for a period of not greater than six months shall not be required, except where the City Engineer determines that compaction is necessary as a safety measure to aid in preventing saturation, slipping or erosion of the fill. Where compaction is required, it shall be done in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter. B. Determination of field density shall be by the calibrated dry sand displacement method or other equivalent method. Other methods of determining field density may be approved by the City Engineer prior to use. SECTION 7323. CONSTRUCTION OF CONTROLLED FILLS. This Section shall be used as a guide for specifications for filled areas. For specific projects, it will be necessary to make adjustments in the specification predicated upon the analysis of the material proposed to be used for the fill and other conditions pertaining to the project. A. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. This item shall consist of all clearing and grubbing, removal of existing structures, preparation of land to be filled, filling of land, spreading, compaction and control of the fill, and all subsidiary work necessary to complete the grading /U 1 • of the filled areas to conform with the lines, grades and slopes as shown on the accepted plans. B. CLEARING, GRUBBING AND PREPARING AREAS TO BE FILLED. 1 . All timber, logs, trees, brush, objectional amounts of vegetable matter, and other rubbish shall be removed from the site, so as to leave the areas free from all debris. All soft, spongy or other unsuitable material shall be removed to a depth required to produce a stable subgrade. 2. The surface shall then be plowed or scarified to a depth of at least six inches, and until the surface is free from ruts, hummocks or other uneven features which would tend to prevent uniform compaction by the equipment to be used. 3. Where fills are made on hillsides or slopes greater than one vertical to five horizontal, steps or benches shall be cut into the original ground before filling is begun. The design of said steps or benches shall be subject to review and approval by the City Engineer. 4. After the foundation for the fill has been cleared, plowed or scarified, it shall be disced or bladed until it is uniform and free from large clods; brought to the proper moisture content; and compacted in the same manner and to the same degree as required for the fill material. Said foundation shall be compacted to the full depth of distrubance, and in no case shall said depth be less than six inches. C. MATERIALS. Material for the fill shall consist of material selected and approved in writing by the Soils Engineer and may be obtained from the excavation of banks, borrow pits, or any other approved sources. The material used shall be soil free of rocks or lumps of greater dimension than six inches and shall not contain paper, wood, glass, tin, metal, cardboard or any other deleterious substances. D. PLACING, SPREADING AND COMPACTING FILL MATERIAL. 1 . The selected fill material shall be placed in layers which when compacted shall not exceed six inches in depth. Each layer shall be spread evenly and shall be thoroughly mixed during the spreading to insure uniformity of material in each layer. 2. When the moisture content of the fill material is below that specified by the Soils Engineer, water shall be added and thoroughly dispersed until the moisture content is as specified by the Soils Engineer to permit the required degree of compaction. -11- • 3. When the moisture content of the fill material is above that specified by the soils Engineer, the fill material shall be aerated by blading or other satisfactory methods until the moisture content is as specified by the Soils Engineer. 4. After each layer has been placed, mixed and spread evenly, it shall be thoroughly compacted to not less than ninety percent of maximum density in accordance with ASTM Test No. D-698-42T, modified as in Section 8722. Compaction shall be by means of tamping or sheepsfoot follers, multiple-wheel pneumatic-tired rollers or other approved methods that leave the fills free of cleavage planes. Rollers shall be of such design that they will be able to compact the fill to the specified density. Rolling shall be accomplished while the fill material is at the specified moisture content. Rolling of each layer shall be continuous over its entire area and the roller shall make sufficient trips to insure that the desired density has been obtained. 5. Field density tests shall be made at a frequency determined by the Soils Engineer, but in no case shall said tests be made at a greater interval than two feet, and at least one test shall be made for each five hundred cubic yards of fill . Where sheepsfoot rollers are used, the soil may be disturbed to a depth of several inches. Density readings shall be taken in the compacted material below the disturbed surface. No additional layers of fill shall be spread until the field density tests indicate that the specified density has been obtained. 6. The fill peration shall be continued in six inch compacted layers, as specified in this Section subdivision D-1 above, until the fill has been brought to the finished slopes and grades as shown on the accepted plans. 7. Where loose soils remain on the slope after the final elevation of the slope has been attained, this loose material shall either be removed or be compacted to the same degree specified for fill soils. E SUPERVISION. Sufficient time shall be spent on the site each day that fills are placed or other pertinent work is accomplished to permit the Soils Engineer to certify to the proper com- paction of all fills and to the adherence with all other requirements of this Chapter for which he certifies. F. SEASONAL LIMITS. No fill material shall be placed, spread or rolled during weather conditions considered unfavorable by the City Engineer or the Soils Engineer. When the work is -12- interrupted by heavy rain, fill operations shall not be resumed until field tests by the Soils Engineer indicate that the moisture content and density of the fill are as previously specified. SECTION 7324. EXCEPTIONS. The following are specifically excepted from the provisions of this Chapter: a. An excavation below finished grade for a basement or footings for a building, or swimming pool, or other structure authorized by a valid building permit from the City. B. An excavation or fill which does not exceed five cubic yards of mat r afion any recorded lot. C. Excavation or filling of graves in a property fledi Gated or used for cemetary purposes. D.If the property is in Zone M' or a special use permit in full force and effect, the mining, quarrying, excavating, processing, or stockpiling of rock, sand, gravel, aggregate or clay, which does not affect the lateral support of contiguous property, and which is done in full compliance with the requirements of the special use permit. E. The depositing of rubbish or other material at any refuse disposal facility operated on M 2 zone under a conditional use permit. SECTION 7325. GRADING FEES. A. GRADING PERMIT FEE. A fee for each grading permit shall be paid to the City Engineer as set forth in Table No. 73-A. B. PLAN CHECKING FEE FOR GRADING. When the amount of grading exceeds 100 cubic yards, a plan checking fee for grading equal to 25 percent of the fees set forth in Table 73-A shall be paid to the City Engineer at the time of submitting plans. The minimum fee for Tian checking shall be $10.00 C.
