MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 9, 1992 paving. The Administrator noted that the City has allowed building permits for model homes under these conditions in the past. The City Engineer recommended that issuance of a building permit for a model home be contingent upon weather and street conditions. The Administrator reported that item #11 addresses grading and drainage.
