1011.01. Grading Plan
1. Grading shall be done in accordance with the lines and grades shown on the approved Grading Plan.
2. Grading plans shall show existing and proposed contour lines at an interval of no more than 2 feet.
Grading plans shall outline the areas which are required to remain undisturbed (i.e., Tree Protection
Areas, buffers, etc.) and shall indicate protective fencing or staking to be placed surrounding such areas.
3. Grading for roads and improved ditches shall be shown.
4. A grading plan showing building pad locations shall be done for residential subdivisions, unless a
modification application is approved, having a zoning that requires a lot size of 12,000 square feet or less
or a density of 4 units per acre or more. The intent of this regulation is to ensure adequate lot to lot
drainage. Granting a modification will not nullify the intent of these regulations when the layout has a
minimum lot area of 14,520 square feet and a minimum lot width of 90 feet.
