Regulatory Management for Steep Slope & Structural Measures
| Comprehensive Plan | Zoning | Subdivision | |
| Town of Caroline | Avoid cross streams and ditches with roads and driveways to handle potent future upland runoff and prepare for 100yr flood. Consider landscape slope instead of retaining wall | ||
| Town of Catherine | Planning Board may require larger lot sizes when slope >15% | ||
| Town of Covert | Grading plan if natural contours to be changed more than 2 feet | ||
| Town of Danby | Appropriate topography for development | No development when >15% poses threat to environment, residents. Construction at >15% need Code Enforcement approval for stabilization and revegetation measures. When land disturbed: no slope steeper than 1 foot vertical rise to 3 feet horizontal distance, except when slope grade existed before development, even than Planning Board approval necessary (threats to nature and residents). Use terraces and diversions on long slopes to minimize erosion, also sedimentation; basins, traps | |
| Town of Groton | Avoid development on steep slopes to minimize effects on soil stability and water quality | ||
| Town of Ithaca | No construction over 25% with minimum horizontal slope length of 25 feet | ||
| Town of Lansing | Site Plan Review: development on erodible soils and slopes >10% shall include erosion plan | ||
| Town of Romulus | Least possible development | ||
| Village of Cayuga | No development over 10% | ||
| Village of Lansing | Permit for development >25% | ||
