Here's the Deal on Dirt

TOPSOIL – The Planning Commission discussed a change in the SALDO for topsoil. The original proposal would have required developers to haul in dirt to provide a minimum of 9 inches of topsoil and 18 inches of subsoil on lots that were deficient. The discussion over several meetings determined that this requirement is too costly for developers. Instead, the Planning Commission recommended that topsoil and subsoil already existing on the lot be used, and eliminated the requirement to haul in additional dirt.
