Maximum slope. Cuts shall not be steeper in slope than one vertical to one and one-half horizontal unless a retaining wall or other approved support is provided or unless the owner furnishes a geotechnical report proving to the satisfaction of the Planning and Development Director that the proposed deviation will be stable, will not endanger any property or result in the deposition of debris on any public way or interfere with any existing drainage course.

The Planning and Development Director may require the excavation to be made with a cut face flatter in slope than one vertical to one and one-half horizontal if the Director considers it necessary for stability and safety.
