Bare land

Picture of bare land - 32% slope

Severe Slope

Well... the survey was completed this last weekend.  I used the worksheet from my last post to double check the slope readings, looks like the slope of the lot is around 32%.  Yikes... according to Utah code, special consideration is needed for slopes over 25%.  This could require a horizontal cut into the mountain of up to 50ft, so that the septic's drainfield is setback from the slope.  This would be an overwhelming task for building a small cabin.

Looks like we have a lot of layout planning ahead to see if this project can move forward!
