agreed with the trees part, the county most likely wont like trees under the lines, or you wont like how they prune them.
as for the terracing the easiest way would be to drive some tall stakes in the ground, rest some long strong boards up against it, and backfill with good soil. repeat above that. this way you dont even have to compromise the integrity the slope already has. once plants establish the roots will hold it all together.
i would go with some fruiting shrubs that dont get too tall.
