Council waives Habitat for Humanity building-permit fees for upcoming house project
Summary
Parkland Area Habitat for Humanity requested and received forgiveness of a building permit fee for a new house project at Eighth and Lyon streets; the council approved the waiver at the May 6 meeting.
Parkland Area Habitat for Humanity told the council it would begin construction on a house at the corner of Eighth and Lyon streets and asked the city to waive the building-permit fee, as the council had done for previous Habitat projects.
A Habitat representative described the planned ground‑breaking and said a building permit had been submitted. Council members moved to forgive the permit cost for Habitat; the council voted in favor and the motion carried.
Ending: Staff will note the waiver in permit records and process the Habitat building permit without charging the usual fee.
