the work required to be done in order to comply with all of the
conditions of the grading permit, such estimates to be determined
by the Building Official. He may, instead of the bond make a
cash deposit in the same amount as required for a bond.
8957. Time Limit. The permittee shall fully perform
and complete all of the work required to be done pursuant to the
grading permit within the time limit specified therein. If no time
limit is specified, the permittee shall complete the work within
ninety days after the date of the issuance of the grading permit.
The Building Official for good and sufficient cause by written
order may extend the ninety day time limit or time limit, speci-
fied in grading permit, either before or after the expiration of
such time limit.
8958. Refunds. Refunds shall be handled as set forth
in Section 303 of the Uniform Building Code.
5959. Denial of Permit. The Building Official shall
not issue a permit in any case where he finds that the work, as
proposed by the applicant, is likely to endanger any private pro-
perty or result in the deposit of debris on any public way or
interfere with any existing drainage course. Factors to be con-
sidered in making his findings shall include, but shall not be
limited to, possible saturation by rains, earth movement, run-off
of surface waters, and subsurface conditions such as the stratifi-
cation and faulting of rock, and nature and type of soil or rock.
8960. Supervised Grading Required.
a) Filled Ground Supporting Structures. No building or
structure shall be supported on filled ground unless fill has been
made under supervised grading as required in Section 8961, and
compacted as required by Section 8966 and 8967.
b) Filled Ground Not Supporting Structures. Supervised
grading on filled ground not supporting structures is not required
10-
ORD 094ê79wV ×P æ õ$) except that supervised grading is required as provided in Section
8961 even where no structures are to be supported for all such
grading involving more than one lot or more than 5000 cu. yds.
at one site.
8951. Supervised Grading Procedure. See Section 8950
for definition)
1. The applicant for a permit shall furnish a contour map
prepared by an engineer as set forth in Section 8950 showing the
areas to be filled and excavated, the original topography and the
finished surface. As the work progresses, the final surface
0 elevations may vary from the contour map provided no violation
of this Code is created thereby.
2. The application shall state the unit foundation bearing
values desired.
3. The, application shall describe the material to be used
in the fill and the method of depositing the fill, also the minimum
number of tests to be made.
4. The applicant shall file with the Building Official a
report by the engineer of the permittee describing the preparation
of original ground surface, type of material actually used in the
fill, together with a tabulation of the per cent compaction obtained
in their various tests, and a plan map showing limits of compaction
of the fill.
5. Upon the completion of the project, the engineer of per-
mittee shall certify in writing to the Building Official that the
project was done in conformity with this chapter, shall furnish a
final contour map, and shall certify to the soil bearing capacity
of the fill if structures are to be supported thereon.
u. Plans presented to the Building Official shall be checked
and the applicant notified of approval ox' any required corrections
within ten working days from the date of filing, except where un-
usual magnitude or special conditions exist.
11-
ORD 094ê79wV ×P æ õ%) The Building Official may waive the requirement for super-
vised grading called for in Section 8960 in the case of small or
unimportant structures, or where in his opinion, settlement will
not cause damage to life or property, or there is no structure on
the fill and debris will not be deposited on any public way or
existing drainage course.
8962. Retaining Walls or cribbing. Retaining Walls or
cribbing constructed in accordance with the provisions of this
Code and the rules and regulations of the County Building and
Safety Division shall be used wherever necessary to prevent the
surface of any excavation or fill from exceeding at any point
the maximum allowable slopes set forth in this chapter.
8963. Safety Precautions. If at any stage of work on
an excavation or fill, the Building Official determines by in-
spection that the nature of the formation is such that further work
as authorized by an existing permit is likely to endanger any private
property or result in the depositinn of debris on any public way or
interfere with any existing drainage course, the County Building and
Safety Division may require, as a condition to allowing the work to
be completed, that such reasonable safety precautions be taken as
the Building Official considers advisable to avoid arch likelihood
of danger. Safety precautions" may include but shall not be limited
to specifying a flatter exposed{ slope, construction of additional
drainage facilities, berms, terracing, compaction, cribbing, or
planting of slope.
Correction notices shall be in writing. After an order to
comply is written, a period of ten days shall be allowed for the
contractor to begin to make the corrections unless a hazard exists
in which case the work shall begin immediately. If he fails or
refuses to comply, the job may be ordered stopped by the Building
Official at the expiration of the ten day period.
12-
ORD 094ê79wV ×P æ õ&) 8984. Drainage Provisions. All drainage provisions
shall be of such design as to carry surface waters to the nearest
practical street, storm drain, or natural water course approved
by the Building Official as a safe place to deposit and receive
such waters.
Adequate provision shall be made to prevent any surface waters
from damaging the cut face of an excavation or the sloping face of
a fill.
8965. Excavation Slopes. An excavation shall not be
made with a cut face steeper in slope than one horizontal to one
vertical unless the owner shall first furnish a written opinion
of a civil engineer licensed by the State of California and
experienced in erosion control, who shall be acceptable to the
Building Official, certifying that he has investigated the site
and that the proposed deviation will not endanger any private
property or result in the deposition of debris on any public way
or interfere with any existing drainage course.
The Building Official may require the excavation to be made
with a cut face flatter in slop than one horizontal to one verti-
cal if he finds the material in which the excavation is to be made
unusually subject to erosion, or if other conditions make such
flatter slope necessary for stability and safety. if it is nec-
essary to have a slope steeper than that approved according to
this subsection, a retaining wall designed in accordance with
Section 2309 of the Uniform Building Code shall be constructed,
and building permit obtained therefor in accordance with Section
302 of the Uniform Building Code.
8908. Compaction Required. All fills intended to support
buildings or structures shall be compacted to a minimum of 90 per
cent of maximum density as determined by the AASHO Soil Compaction
Test T99-49 as modified to use 25 blows of a 10 lb. hammer failing
13" on each of 3 layers of soil in a 1/30 cu. ft. cylinder. Com-
paction of other fills shall not be required except where the
13-
ORD 094ê79wV ×P æ õ') Buildinv Official determines that compaction is necessary as a
safety measure to aid in preventing the saturation, slipping or
erosion of the fill. Where compaction is required, it shall be
done in accordance with the best accepted practice.
8967. Compaction Methods. In considering the compaction
of fills, the Building Official shall include but not be limited
to the following:
1. Preparation of the natural ground surface by removing
top soil and vegetation, and by compacting the fill upon a series
of terraces where required.
2. Control of moisture content of the material used for fill.
3. Limitation on the use of soil containing organic material,
trash or other foreign matter.
4. Maximum thickness of the layers of the fill to be compacted.
5. Method of compaction.
5. Density requirements of the completed fill, depending
upon the location and use of the fill.
7. Tests required during the process of filling.
8968. Surface Slope of Fills. No fill shall be made
which creates an exposed surface steeper in slope than one and
one-half horizontal to one vertical, unless the owner furnishes
the Building Official with the written opinion of a Civil Engineer
licensed by the State and experienced in soil compaction and erosion
control, certifying that he has investigated the site and that the
proposed deviation will not endanger any private property or result
in the deposition of debris on any public way, or interfere with
any existing drainage course. The Building Official may require
that the fill be constructed with an exposed surface flatter than
one and one-half horizontal to one vertical, if he finds that under
the particular conditions, such flatter surface is necessary for
stability and safety.
14-
ORD 094ê79wV ×P æ õ() 8969. Inspection and Control of Fills. If the inspector
finds the soil or other conditions not as stated in the application
for a grading permit, he may refuse to approve further work until
approval is obtained for a revised grading plan which will conform
to the existing condition.
Except for supervised grading as provided in Section 8961 in
addition to the inspections of any fills made by the Building
Official, he may require a certificate by an approved soil testing
agency based on tests of the fill at selected stages.
8970. Existing Excavation and Fills. Whenever the Build-
ing Official determines by inspection that any existing excavation
or fill from any cause has become a menace to life or limb, or
affects the safety, usability, or stability of a public way, the
owner of the property upon which such excavation or fill is located,
or other person or agent in control of said property, upon receipt
of notice in writing from the Building Official so to do, shall
within 180 days from the date of such written notice, repair or
reconstruct such excavation or fill so that it will conform to the
requirements of this chapter or otherwise repair, reconstruct,
strengthen or eliminate such excavation or fill in a manner satis-
factory to the Building Official. A shorter period of time may
be specified if an imminent and immediate hazard is found to exist.
Section 12. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of
this ordinance and cause the same to be published or posted in the
manner required by law. This ordinance shall take effect thirty
days after its adoption.
