A third home is believed to be at risk of sliding off a filled-in ravine days after two homes were destroyed by a landslide in the area, Draper Mayor Troy Walker said.
that the city had informed the homebuilder, Edge Homes, that there were "definite signs of wall and slope failure" months before the homes were condemned, ultimately leading to a decision to evacuate the homeowners.
"This is not a landslide in a traditional sense, where native soil is giving way oversaturated. This is man-made, these are man-made lots, and they're supposed to be engineered to hold the homes that are on them," he said. "The homes that are in danger are the homes that are on that ravine." As Draper keeps tabs on the two other homes that have been evacuated, Walker also asserted Monday that the city did all of its due diligence under state law before approving the homes and that "all of the onus" over what happened falls on Edge Homes.
