II. LOT DEVELOPMENT
1. Filling and Cutting of Lots
The Master Plan of PORTOFINO HEIGHTS 1-4, PORTOFINO NORTH (Courtyards 2-3,
Widelots), PORTOFINO PHASE 8 & PORTOFINO SOUTH 1-4 (hereinafter referred to
as the “SUBDIVISION”) was designed with a grading plan that is in conjunction
with the road network and drainage system design. The finished contour line
turned over to the Lot Owner is already considered ready for construction.
Therefore, any major alteration to the lot grading and physical condition of the
site is not allowed.
Filling and cutting of lots for landscaping, construction and other purposes shall
be allowed provided that:
a. Lot cut and fill shall not exceed one (1) meter measured from the natural
grade line. However, cut and fill fronting any Street is only allowed up to 0.50
meter measured from the top of the sidewalk. From a maximum of one (1)
meter lot cut/ fill, the grade line shall slope to a maximum of 0.50 meter
towards street frontage. (See Illustrations II-1-A to II-1-D)
b. Lot fill shall not result in obstructing views, and/or cause probable damage to
the area as originally planned by the Developer constitute an aggravation or
nuisance to adjoining properties.
c. Filling beyond one (1) meter shall be subject to the approval of the
Developer. The drainage and other facilities must be installed to prevent the
water from flowing or seeping into adjacent lots or to the street.
d. The Homeowner shall provide proper and necessary drainage measures for
any lot cut made within their property below the sidewalk level. Drainage line
shall always flow towards the common area sewer line.
2. Slope Protection
a. No retaining wall fronting any Street shall be higher than 0.50 meter measured
vertically from the top of the sidewalk line to the top of the retaining wall or
slope protection. No retaining wall at the sides and rear shall exceed one (1)

4
ANNEX B
meter measured from the lower natural grade line of either the Homeowner’s
lot or property adjacent the concerned wall.
b. Cutting of lots shall be limited to the extent that it does not in any way affect
or weaken the structural stability of any adjacent lot and/or structure. In cases
where cutting is unavoidable, proper structurally designed soil protection
measures must be submitted by the Lot Owner for the Developer’s approval.
Furthermore, the Homeowner shall also be liable should there be any
damage caused by the cutting and filling of the lot.
c. Road embankment or side slopes road protection located inside the Lot shall
not be removed without providing the necessary erosion control measures
such as vertical concrete retaining walls or rip-rap walls. The cost of which
shall be for the sole account of the Homeowner.
Any alteration to the physical condition of the site including erosion control
measures are subject to the approval of the Developer.
