21.105.010 Undisturbed soil.
Undisturbed soil means the condition of the site at the time a building permit application is made to the city, before any site work occurs. However, where the site has been altered by grading, cutting, or filling or similar activities before the application for a building permit, the building official shall make the determination from then available data of the mean elevation of the undisturbed soil. If the undisturbed soil elevation is not readily determined due to demolition of an existing structure, the contours may be reconstructed by the building official to coincide with adjoining topography to determine the undisturbed soil elevations. If the proposed structure occurs where no setbacks are required, the elevation of the surface (sidewalk, alley, or soil) of the property line at or nearest the intersection of the sides of the building height rectangle will be considered undisturbed soil. Where the building official deems it necessary, he shall have the right to require establishment of a datum point from which all height measurements shall be made.
21.105.115 Usable satellite signal.
A usable satellite signal is a satellite signal which when acquired by the use of a properly installed, maintained, and operated satellite television antenna of a high quality readily available on the public market and when viewed on a conventional television set is at least equal in picture quality to that received from local commercial television stations or by way of cable television. [Ord. 2526 § 2, 1985].
