RE: Building Permit No. B19-2911
Dear: KURT ALBRECHT
Site Plans for the above referenced project have been routed to the Department of Public Works for
review of compliance with Butte County Code Chapter 10, Article VI, related to access to a County
highway. This Butte County Code Section is available on line at
http://municipalcodes.lexisnexis.com/codes/butteco/. Based on our initial review of the information
provided, the Department of Public Works has determined that an encroachment permit is required for
your property to access the County highway. The purpose of the encroachment permit is to improve
your access to County Standards for public safety, which normally requires paving your access within the
County right of way.
An Encroachment Permit Application and permit criteria are enclosed for your reference. An electronic,
fillable version Encroachment Permit Application form is available on line at
http://www.buttecounty.net/Portals/22/downloads/Permits/Permit_Encroachment.pdf.
Please submit sufficient information to the Public Works Department, 7 County Center Drive, Oroville, CA
95965, that demonstrates the existing access is in compliance with County Code Chapter 10 Article VI,
or an Encroachment Permit Application with the current application fee
If you have any questions, please contact this office at (530) 538-7681, Monday through Friday, 7:30
a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
