Pullon commented the applicant had only discussed the MSL, and
asked if the elevation would be above the crown of the road, to which
Mr. Osburn responded that had been met. Boardmember Pullon
commented if the house did not flood during the 1995 flood that meant
the crown of the road was higher. Chair Laamanen stated her point
was whether drainage was going to be a problem because of the
addition.
