David: This has to do with the potential for slope failure. Steep slopes (including feeder bluffs, which are common in Jefferson County) naturally erode over time; it is part of the
natural processes occurring within the shoreline environment. Also, there is the potential for liquefaction and shifting of the substrate if an earthquake occurs. If development takes
place too close to a steep slope, human health and safety may be compromised and natural habitats and processes may be altered . The simple answer is that the JCC limits buffer averaging
along slopes of 30% or greater to protect people and the environment. Donna

David,
Have you received an explanation of the 30% slope limitation that you can provide me?
I'm still unable to understand it in the context of Pleasant Harbor.
Thank you.
