CITY OF ORONO City of OROIVO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL NO. 2292_________ 17. D & R Construction, the general contractor, was continuously under pressure to meet the Parade of Homes deadline in September. The advertising benefits by the contractor's participation in the Parade of Homes are obvious not to mention the monetary rewards for both the contractor and owner. Staff found it difficult to obtain customary information associated with the building proc; s. 18. The revised survey dated 5/8/87 later submitted to the City as part of the building permit application showed no other improvements to the site that would suggest the need for grading plans or future structures such as retaining walls within the surrounding yard area. 19.
