But there are so many problems that no single approach solves them all indeed no one community has yet met and solved even its own.
Unstable cuts and fills because of grading, erosion, streets, storm water drainage, sewage disposal, water supply, access for fire fighting, and disposition of unusable land are problems of hillside areas that cities are attempting to solve. Experience shows, however, that if the controls written for flat lands are not modified for hillside use, subdividers will simply level the hills. But the problems peculiar to hillside subdivision often require controls that increase development costs. Developers - to help reduce costs - have appealed to planners to write subdivision controls that have lower standards for hillside areas than flat land. Unfortunately, hillsides are difficult and costly to subdivide.
Hills once bypassed as too costly to build on except by owner-builders are now prime residential areas for subdividers for the very reason that they were bypassed and are closer to the metropolitan center than the nearest vacant flat land. The subdivision of hilly areas is a growing problem. Membership for Allied Professionals & CitizensĮducation, Work, and Experience Verification
