Chapter 1433. HILLSIDE OVERLAY DISTRICTS |
§ 1433-03-L. Landslide Indicia.
"Landslide Indicia" means geographical contour information included in the Cincinnati Area Geographic Information System (CAGIS) that illustrates both the degree of slope (See § 1433-03-S) as well as irregularities, the presence of which indicate existing or potential landslides. Primary examples of irregularities include:
(a)
A significant variation in the degree of slope within a given hillside, and
(b)
Very closely spaced contours, particularly near the bottom of a slope.
Either of these characteristics may indicate existing or dormant landslides. These characteristics, when combined with the soil type provide a basis for identifying hillsides where site-specific geotechnical investigations are needed.
