.010 PURPOSE OF CHAPTER
The City recognizes the need to use crib walls and/or
retaining walls when necessary in conjunction with grading in the
Hillside Area. In the use of crib walls and retaining walls, it
is essential to require certain standards in order to preserve the
natural beauty of the Hillside Area. These standards address
aesthetic considerations and are imposed in addition to any
applicable permit and other requirements for crib walls and
retaining walls.
.020 REQUIREMENTS
The following requirements shall be used in the design of
crib walls and retaining walls:
.0201 Maximum height shall be 10 feet.
.0202 A brow ditch shall be constructed at the top of
the wall with additional drainage facilities
required.
.0203 All crib walls and retaining walls shall be
constructed with landscaping and irrigation
facilities. The landscaping and irrigation
facilities shall be included on the landscaping
and irrigation plan to be approved by the
Planning Department prior to issuance of the
grading permit. For crib walls, a "mist"
irrigation system at the top of the wall is
preferred but a "drip" irrigation system is an
acceptable alternative. Landscaping of
retaining walls shall include bushes and trees
planted and maintained in a manner to screen
the retaining wall from public view. It is
also desirable to plant vines at the base of
the retaining wall which will cling to the
concrete or masonry blocks. A covenant, in a
form acceptable to the City Attorney, shall be
recorded in the Office of the Orange County
Recorder to provide for the continuing
maintenance of the landscaping and irrigation
facilities.
