a slope measured from the line following the transition point at the top of a <br />slope and 60 foot wide step below a slope measured from the line following <br />the transition point at the bottom of the slope. The transition point is the point <br />on a slope where its measurable gradient changes from a value of less than <br />the specified grade to a value equal to or greater than the specified grade or <br />from a value equal to or greater than the specified grade to a value less than <br />the specified grade. Steep Terrain -Steep Slope -Slide Areas will be defined <br />by the Town of Brookside as natural terrain having an incline grade of 30% or <br />greater or any location designated by the USDA Natural Resource <br />Conservation Service as unstable and poorly suited for home site <br />development or by Fremont County as a rockfall hazard zone. <br />2. Location of Boundaries of Steep Terrain -Steep Slope -Slide Area Districts <br />As used in this article, the terms Steep Terrain -Steep Slope -Slide Area refer <br />in the first instance to certain areas whose boundaries are determined and <br />can be located on the ground by reference to the specific slope characteristics <br />set forth in the definitions of these terms. These terms also refer to overlaying <br />or inlaid zoning districts whose boundaries are established on the maps <br />provided to the Town of Brookside or developed by the Town of Brookside and <br />for which boundaries are intended to correspond to the actual physical <br />location of Steep Terrain, Steep Slopes, and Slide Areas and which effect <br />property damage, have potentially dangerous natural topographic and <br />geological conditions or features, have potential to provide conditions <br />conducive to wildfire dangers, and/or limit property usage. Therefore, the <br />Town of Brookside is authorized to make necessary interpretations as to the <br />exact location of the boundaries of Steep Terrain, Steep Slope, and Slide <br />areas and if there appears to be a conflict between a mapped boundary and <br />actual field conditions, or property owners interpretation of this code; such <br />interpretations, like other decisions of the Town of Brookside, may be <br />appealed to the Board of Adjustment in accordance with the applicable <br />provisions of this Ordinance. <br />3. Setbacks from Slopes Within and Outside of Designated SA, Steep Terrain - <br />Steep Slope -Slide Area <br />A buffer zone setback must be met in any area that is located adjacent to a <br />designated SA, Steep Terrain -Steep Slope -Slide Area or is located outside a <br />designated SA, Steep Terrain -Steep Slope -Slide Area but where a steep <br />slope meeting the criteria previously defined exists and which has a vertical <br />height equal to or greater than the maximum allowable building height or 35 <br />feet, whichever is less. No building or development may be located within the <br />buffer zone distances of 60 feet from transition point at the top of the slope <br />and 60 feet from the transition point at the bottom of the slope. <br />4.
