Street Design Manual

Article 8.2 Slope Easements A. A slope easement of 20 feet in width shall be required adjoining each side of a street right-of- way. The City may reduce or increase the slope easement width if due to terrain. B. If a property owner submits to the City sufficient information to show that improvements to be located in the slope easement do not interfere with the right of the public to construct within the adjoining right-of-way, streets, sidewalks, or both, then the City shall allow the proposed improvement.
