Oleshko Driveway Grading Permit (PLN25-00348)

Project PLN25-00348 involves the construction of a 20-foot-wide gravel access driveway and a culvert crossing over Orr Creek in Auburn, California. Managed by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, the project was approved on September 3, 2026. The primary objective is the attainment of a grading permit for the physical infrastructure, with the property owner Francis Solis and applicant Anatoliy Oleshko identified as key parties. The project has undergone a comprehensive environmental review in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration. This review determined that there are no significant adverse environmental effects, provided that specific mitigation measures are implemented to protect air quality, biological resources, hydrology, and tribal cultural resources. Key environmental considerations include the management of soil erosion, water quality, and the protection of riparian vegetation and riverine wetland marshes, particularly as the site is located within a FEMA Zone A Special Flood Hazard Area along Orr Creek. Financial obligations associated with the project include county processing fees of 50 dollars, recording fees of 50 dollars, and 3,093.75 dollars for the review of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Fish and Wildlife fees. Additionally, fees of 125 dollars per inch of diameter at breast height are required for any removed or impacted trees to be paid into the Placer County Tree Preservation Fund. Meghan Schwartz serves as the primary point of contact for the lead agency.
