Gaffron stated the C' 's definition actly mimics the State Statute's definition, but there was a question about how man different points o slope might be defined as the toe of bluff. Gaffron stated from a practical standp ' t,there can only be o toe. The proposed language changes th anguage it to state that the toe f the bluff is the lower point of the lowest 50-foot segment with an erage slope exceeding 18 percent. affron stated essentially that means when it is a steep slope d it ends right at the lakeshore,you w ld not go out into the water to get to that 18 percent.
