The completed clearing and mulching areas shall be suitable for subsequent grading, pad construction, and servicing works. Lot grading and gravel pad construction. Lot grading shall include stripping of organics as required, placement and compaction of fill material, excavation as required, shaping of side slopes to promote positive drainage, and construction of a gravel building pad. Final grading shall provide positive drainage away from the proposed development areas and tie smoothly into existing ground elevations. Proposed grading is shown on the attached plot plans. The gravel building pad shall be constructed using compacted granular fill and graded in accordance with the attached site preparation details. The pad surface shall maintain a minimum 2% slope for drainage, either sloped across the pad or from the center out. All surrounding grades shall slope away from the proposed dwelling to prevent ponding adjacent to the foundation. The area surrounding each building pad shall be graded at a 10% slope for a minimum distance of 2 m from the edge of the pad and shall then transition smoothly into the existing ground elevations to provide positive drainage away from the proposed dwelling. Where shown on the attached plot plans, swales may be required to convey surface runoff around the proposed development area.
