He had not reported any of this activity to the Police Department. A resident of Seventh Street told how his garage was damaged by a neighbor's tree. He intends to rebuild the garage. He stated his concerns with the requirements of the City to build his garage. He disagrees with the need for a survey and a fire wall. Discussion continued with the possible ways the City requirements could be met.
