This section is included in your selections.

The application for development in a designated geologic hazard area shall include:

8-512.A. Minimum Contents. The minimum application contents as specified in Section 5-202.C of this Title;

8-512.B. Vicinity Topography Map. A vicinity topography map showing the location of the permit area and its relationship to surrounding topographic and cultural features. Two foot (2') and five foot (5') contour interval maps are available for most of the Town. The map shall indicate major land uses such as commercial, residential, parks, public facilities, roads and other significant natural and manmade features within one half (1/2) mile of the property;

8-512.C. Development Map. A topographic map or maps showing the location, nature and density of the proposed development or land use change. Such maps shall be on a scale sufficiently detailed to meet the purposes of this Division, but in no case less detailed than one inch equals two hundred feet (1" = 200');

8-512.D. Geologic Conditions Map. A map or maps portraying the geologic conditions of the area, with particular attention given to adopted geologic hazard areas and those geologic, hydrologic, soil and topographic factors affecting geologic hazard conditions. If appropriate or needed, subsurface geologic cross sections shall also be utilized to portray such conditions at depth. Such maps shall also show the topography with a contour interval of five feet (5') or smaller. Such maps shall be on a scale sufficiently detailed to meet the objectives of this Division but, in no case, less detailed than one inch equals two hundred feet (1' = 200'). If possible, the geologic maps shall be at the same scale and format as the development map;

8-512.E. Technical Report. A geologist’s or registered geotechnical engineer’s report explaining the maps and cross sections required in this section with particular emphasis on evaluating and predicting the impact of such geologic or hazardous conditions on the proposed land use changes and developments. It shall also include recommended mitigating procedures to be employed in meeting the purposes of this Division;

8-512.F. Description of Development. The applicant, in narrative, pictorial or graphic form shall explain the nature, density and intensity of the proposed development or land use change, and shall explain mitigation procedures which will be needed and are planned to carry out the purposes of this Division;

8-512.G. Additional Materials. Any additional reports, maps or other information deemed necessary in the opinion of the staff or any referral agency to demonstrate conformance with the guidelines of this Division.
