�r *0 d► <br />ORDINANCE NO. 112 <br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF LOS ALTOS <br />HILLS REQUIRING A PRELIMINARY SOIL REPORT OF SUBDIVISIONS <br />AND SPECIFYING THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH A SOIL <br />INVESTIGATION OF EACH LOT IS REQUIRED. <br />The City Council of the Town of Los Altos Hills does ordain as <br />follows: <br />Sec. 1. Purpose. The City Council declares that this or- <br />dinance is enacted pursuant to the requirements <br />of Chapter 1001 of the Statutes of 1965. <br />Sec. 2. Preliminary Soil Report. Prior to the submission <br />of every final subdivision map, the subdivider <br />shall file with City Engineer a preliminary soil <br />report, prepared by a civil engineer who is re- <br />gistered by the State of California, based upon <br />adequate test borings or excavations of every sub- <br />division, as defined in Sections 11535 and 11535.1 <br />of the Business and Professions Code. The prelim- <br />inary soil report may be waived if City Engineer <br />shall determine that, due to the knowledge of such <br />department as to the soil qualities of the subdivi- <br />sion, no preliminary analysis is necessary. <br />Sec. 3. Soil Investigation. If the preliminary soil report <br />indicates the presence of critically expansive soils <br />or other soil problems which, if not corrected, would <br />lead to structural defects, a soil investigation of <br />each lot in the subdivision shall be prepared by a <br />civil engineer who is registered by the State of <br />California. The soil investigation shall recommend <br />corrective action which is likely to prevent struc- <br />tural damage to each dwelling proposed to be con- <br />structed on the expansive soil. The report shall <br />be filed with the City Engineer. <br />IADOFIO 6 FAIBANT -1- <br />
