McMillan asked if the neighbors would be notified. Barnhart stated the neighbors would be notified because a conditional use permit is being requested. Walsh stated he would like the names of the communities so he could perhaps speak to some of the neighbors. Cornick noted on Page 1 of 2, Section 2, it goes to Section 86-644. Cornick asked if that should be 78-644. Barnhart stated he will correct that. Cornick moved, Levang seconded, to adopt the proposed Ordinance Amending the Orono Municipal Code By Amending Section 78-1 Regarding Definitions and 78-644 Regarding Dog Grooming and Spa Services. VOTE: Ayes 2, Nays 3, Walsh, Printup and McMillan Opposed. MOTION FAILED.

(Recess taken from 8:56 p.m. to 8:59 p.m.) 10. #15-3771 JULIE LENSING, 3349 CRYSTAL BAY ROAD, VARIANCE – RESOLUTION NO. 6538 Julie Lensing, Applicant, was present. Curtis stated the applicant is proposing to construct additions over the existing home. One addition is proposed to be constructed on top of the open, roofed stoop, and the other addition above an existing lakeside family room bump-out to accommodate a master bedroom and bath addition on the level above the family room on the lakeside of the home. The applicant has requested a lake setback and an average lakeshore setback variance in order to construct the additions. The existing home is three levels, which includes a tuck-under garage. According to current codes, based on the existing first floor elevation and existing grades, the lowest level is defined as a story. In addition, the third story of the home does not meet the half-story definition. As a result, in order to expand the square footage of the conforming third story as requested, a variance is required.
