• Cut and fill slopes are to be revegetated with approved revegetation planting solutions and blended into the surrounding environment.
• Retaining walls may be used when it is necessary to preserve unique site attributes such as existing vegetation or where they are designed as extensions of the architecture. Slopes may not exceed 3:1 unless it can be demonstrated that a steeper slope will not erode.
Drainage Guidelines
• Stormwater collection is to work with natural drainage systems to the greatest extent possible. Natural swales and native vegetation cover are to be used to naturally absorb and filter runoff and promote infiltration while directing water to the community drainage system.
