He is <br />looking to reduce numbers in the 0-75 if they are rebuilding the house. <br />The City Council discussed and clarified the location of the ALS and 0-75 on screen. <br /> <br />Mayor Walsh noted he was confused by the 0-75 and the ALS line and is now fine with the application. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Seals seconded, to approve LA21-000050 – 2915 Casco Point Road, Variances – <br />Resolution No. 7215.
