Andra Storla, 1284 Long Lake Road, thanked the Council for their time. She explained she purchased her home 20 years ago and has enjoyed being a resident of New Brighton ever since. She reported she spoke at the last two Planning Commission regarding the negative impact her neighbors proposed garage would have on her home. She indicated her neighbor does not live on this property, but rather rents it out. She noted her neighbor's property already had two garages and she did not understand why such a large garage was being proposed. She explained she already had water issues in her backyard and she feared the new garage would create additional concerns. She asked if a drainage easement was required for the new garage or if some other permit was required. She noted the garage was being built in the 100 -year floodplain, which was another concern for her with how the water runoff would be managed by her neighbor.
