Decks. No portion of the walking surface of a deck with visible underpinnings shall <br />exceed a height of six feet above grade. Decks should be integrated into the architecture <br />of the house, not appearing as an "add-on" to the primary building mass. <br />s le. <br />Figure 8. Design Sensitive to Terrain <br />Building Support structures. <br />Support structures (for example, <br />columns, pilings, etc.) below the <br />lowest floor on the downhill side of <br />a house, should be enclosed unless <br />visible structural members are an <br />integral feature of the <br />architectural design. Support <br />structure wall surfaces shall not <br />exceed six feet in height. <br />Note: This diagram is intended to provide <br />an example of building form, and is not <br />intended to show a preferred architectural <br />D. Driveways. The ramp to any garage or carport shall not have a grade steeper than <br />five percent within 20 feet of the garage or carport entry. The finished grade of <br />driveways shall not exceed an average of 15 percent. <br />E. Natural state. A minimum of 25 percent of the lot area plus the percentage figure of <br />the average slope must be remediated to its natural state in terms of slope and <br />vegetation, except where fire modification measures are required. <br />F. Grading. Grading plans shall be prepared in compliance with the Municipal Code, <br />and the General Plan, which prohibits grading on slopes over 30 percent. Grading shall <br />utilize landform grading techniques provided in Section 18.10.090 H... See Figure 6 <br />(Appropriate Gradine) on next page. <br />Grading in hillside areas should be the minimum necessary to be consistent with the <br />other standards contained within the City's Municipal Code and General Plan Policies. <br />Gradine should be limited to that which is necessary for the primary use of each lot. <br />Excessive grading outside of the buildine footurint and drivewav area is discouraged.
