A zoning clearance is needed before permit issuance. A completed R&R application package must be submitted along with a project soils report (note: soils reports are accepted under a separate review fee). Once you have paid the fee for the soils report review you can show the receipt to B&S to satisfy that item of the “Group A” part of the B&S checklist for soils review.
Once the grading permit application and soils report has been accepted the permit will be issued. Before you can start grading, a preconstruction meeting will need to be held with the county grading inspector, Geotech representative, contractor, and owner/owner’s representative.
Though rare during an R&R Grading Permit, a Rough Grade Clearance may be needed to issue a building permit in order to complete the grading. A RGC site inspection will need to be requested, and an interim compaction report for fill placed with LDS-09 certification form will need to be turned in to the county grading inspector. The inspector will review the compaction report, visit the site and prepare a LDS-10 memo for your and B&S records.
To close a R&R Grading Permit a final compaction report with accompanying LDS-08 form will need to be provided to your county inspector. The compaction report and LDS-08 will then be reviewed by your inspector and a final site inspection will be conducted. Land Development Services will then process the closure of the project, and during this time we may ask for additional deposits to take care of an outstanding account balance. Once closure is finished, a completion memo and any final grading clearances that are needed are issued. If your account has a credit balance after final charges are posted a refund will be given around 60 days after closure.
