Public Hearing: Quynh Kieu, applicant, addressed the Council and
expressed concern relative to the placement of this property on the Santa

roof leakage, there has been extensive damages on the first floor of the
structure and she has been unable to obtain an estimate from consultants
specializing in fiat roofs which would offer a guarantee over five years.

roof.
