From Minutes of the Council Meeting - September 22, 1986:
Hernandez: First of all. under our existing laws there's
absolutely nothing that should prevent the Arrietas from getting
a permit. Absolutely nothing. Let me ask a question of Engineering
and Building & Safety. According to Mr. Robbins, Roger, they
received the plans on June 10th and they submitted those plans
to you on the same day. They completed their check of the plans
clearance and received for the school fees, and, I don't know
what this means: clearance for received for school fees . . .
What does that mean?
Roger: I think that means they paid their school impaction fees.
(Marks speaking. His mike is off)
Roger:. . . The Engineer had the original in his possession
the day he was going to hand it to me and says "Here, I've made
all the corrections. Sign it and give me my building permit
right after the hearing."
Hernandez: ,Let me . . .
Roge~: So the reason the building has not been issued is because
the grading plan has not been approved. ,
Hernandez: I don't want you to compare a house in the flat area
of our City to the hillside. I want you to compare a two-story

building in the hillside with this two-story building. How long
does it take Engineering for the soils tests, etc.. and to review
the plans?
Roger: In this case, it's taken four months.
Hernandez: No, no, I know what this case has taken. I just want
to compare it with another case.
Marks:
(Can't hear)
Hernandez: No, please, Steve. How long generally does it take
to approve the engineering plans?
Roger: To get a grading plan through its normally two or three
months.
Hernandez: Now, if I can go back through the records, I'll find
that it takes three or four months to check a two-story single
. . . in our City it has taken that long.
Roger: A grading plan, not just a building plan. . .
Hernandez: No, no. I'm just talking about soils tests, etc. for
a two-story building. I just want to make sure that we're not.
you know, discriminating. I want to make sure that we're not
doing that.

Roger: Mr. Hernandez, I would like to say for the record. you've
kind of alluded to the fact that there was a hOld-up on this permit.
That is really not the case. It's been going through normal
processing. We received the plans from the Building Department
on June 12th. The plans were given to a new man in our office
to plan check while our regular plan checker went off on military
leave and vacation. He returned back on the 2nd of August. The
new plan checker had not had a chance to get at those plans. Our
regular plan checker picked them up, checked them in three days,
returned them on August 5th. Then Engineers submitted them back
to our office on September 5th after much delay. Then they were
returned to Engineering for second plan check. He has the original
ready to return for the final plan check today.
Hernandez: So it takes about three days to review the plans.
that's what you're saying.
Roger: Yes, when we get to them. Yes.
Hernandez: Yes. Three days to review them so that here its
taken four months because of vacation, because of .
Roger: Shortage of personnel and vacation.
