(1) Zone 3. Areas where the steepness of the slopes approaches the stability limits of the underlying geological materials. Some landslide deposits that appear to have relatively more stable positions than those classified within Zone 4 are also shown in this Zone 3.

(2) Zone 4. The least stable category. This includes most landslide deposits in upslope areas, whether presently active or not, and slopes on which there is substantial evidence of downslope creep of the surface materials. These areas should be considered naturally unstable, subject to potential failure even in the absence of man's activities and influences. Banks along deeply incised streams are also included in Zone 4.

(b) A map describing these areas and the approximate portions of parcels which they affect is on file with the town clerk and is incorporated herein and as a part of Section 18.08.030.
