Orangevale: grading scope and jurisdiction

Orangevale grading & site work planning starts with unincorporated Orangevale review between Citrus Heights and Folsom. Within Sacramento County, part of the Sacramento Valley, city and unincorporated Sacramento County permits follow different review desks; confirm jurisdiction from the parcel rather than its mailing city. Confirm engineering and agency review for the actual earthwork; a level-looking lot is not a grading design.

Orangevale: site conditions before grading work

Orangevale owners should evaluate the mixture of larger lots and established residential subdivisions before fixing the construction footprint. For Sacramento County projects, check mapped flood constraints and drainage elevations before fixing a Sacramento Valley building pad; proximity to a river is not a parcel determination. Identify the disturbance boundary, pad elevation, drainage outlet and access route on the current site plan.

Orangevale: utilities, access and construction sequence

Orangevale construction planning should account for delivery routing from Greenback Lane without treating rural access as subdivision access. In Sacramento County, locate the actual sewer lateral and water service, and verify capacity with the serving agencies rather than assuming a nearby main guarantees a connection. Separate clearing, excavation, fill placement, export and erosion controls in the written scope.
