Part or all of the feature is located in a shoreland area; B. The slope rises at least twenty five feet (25') above the ordinary high water level of the waterbody; C. The grade of the slope from the toe of the bluff to a point twenty five feet (25') or more above the ordinary high water level averages thirty percent (30%) or greater; and D. The slope must drain toward the waterbody. BLUFF IMPACT ZONE: A bluff, and, only in shoreland districts, land located thirty feet (30') landward from the top of a bluff.
