D’Ambrosio described the parcel as the former Little Peach/7‑Eleven site and said the developer intends to work with the ward councilor and the community to redesign and re‑notice the project after further outreach. He said the team previously reduced building size and unit count following early outreach and plans to schedule another community meeting to solicit neighborhood input before re‑filing.

Several residents opposed the proposal and urged the board not to close scrutiny of the property. Corey O’Hara, who identified himself as a neighborhood resident, told the board he had found a restrictive covenant in the deed recorded in 2024 that he said bans food, beverage and fuel sales on the parcel and that a hazardous‑substances clause also was added in 2024. O’Hara asked the board to keep the hearing open until a legal review of the restrictive covenant and environmental disclosures is complete. He referenced state regulations and asked for disclosure of any environmental reports or an explicit statement that none exist.

Other speakers raised related concerns: Sally Brzowski, a Beech Street neighbor, said the size and design of the proposed building would not fit the surrounding neighborhood and criticized the short notice residents received; Mary Jane Bruno and other neighbors said they distributed their own fliers to alert the neighborhood because they did not see official notice; James Caramello and Bob Lehi warned about traffic and parking impacts near the school and church; Ed Terrell and others said they felt City Hall and developers were not adequately working with residents. Several speakers disputed the claim that future tenants would not drive and questioned enforcement of any no‑parking or no‑car requirements tied to a future building’s tenancy.

Board members and the applicant discussed procedure: the board noted that apartment use is allowed in the district and that redevelopment typically triggers environmental testing at site‑plan review; the applicant said it would hold an additional community meeting and indicated willingness to make further changes. After discussion the board allowed withdrawal without prejudice, meaning the applicant may refile in the future; members repeated that site‑plan review and environmental testing would be required for any subsequent filing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Revere City Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting- 4/23/25","oneSentenceSummary","Attorneys for Amar Brothers LLC withdrew a proposal for a 31‑unit building at 140 Beach St. without prejudice after lengthy public comment raising a restrictive covenant banning retail, questions about hazardous‑substance language in the deed and concerns about parking, traffic and notice to neighbors.","taxTitle","Revere City, Suffolk County, Massachusetts","taxId",5660,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6579110,"Revere ZBA Grants Special Permit for Second‑story Addition at 90 Gage Ave",168,504000,672000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3100499-db8633c678a4c076096795c77a84ca56&start=504&end=672","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3100499-db8633c678a4c076096795c77a84ca56/thumbnail_504000.jpg","/articles/6579110/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Revere-ZBA-Grants-Special-Permit-for-Secondstory-Addition-at-90-Gage-Ave","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6579110-4487ada55ee492b64d4825ffa0202a86/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160764&Signature=UVfPkBIB80dfPUDsSWXKddzBPWA4gPjYGRrfbb2IL7RxvptS0v7NxIOQaZvsNdyHj1ad4ycCMnX7o3XDq-09nD59HEt2~Gfspijo7hrjtAJHuzCcP1Y5GCzEEKaIRcZg~q3S7HMkNZURGBA-~ZUd0z7fbnSNSyZj8lA5KckYi8d3bVvzUQpP59Tq24PgFKGxI~3i8-vh~YCFGJk9CSBLbeSH6cTD80jPWMjwJWOzwc4Il3Oimy2aif-zT~24IrpKyOpBcB11aQsTxovXcSxJcuxPVtj7vW6RH34xkTSYIlk~WKxwdhe4VMefOtQe7sSP6QrL3ZwS7eaKKLFUGHv1tA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to grant a special permit enabling a second‑story addition to a nonconforming single‑family dwelling at 90 Gage Ave.

Applicant Andrew Piedra identified the proposal as a second‑story addition to increase living space, adding bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft area. The board granted the special permit subject to standard conditions: recordation of the permit and plan in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds with submitted recording numbers and dates to the city clerk and building inspector, and site‑plan review approval prior to filing for a building permit.

Lucas Velado spoke in favor, identifying himself as a resident at 90 Gage. After the public hearing and lack of opposition, the board took a roll call vote: Mr. Lemina, Mr. Lopes, Mr. O’Brien, Mr. Pelton and Chairman Tucker each voted “yes.” The special permit was granted subject to the stated conditions.

The board reminded the applicant that final permit issuance requires a site plan prepared to the board’s specifications and submission of deed recordation documentation.","The board granted a special permit allowing a partial second‑story addition at a nonconforming single‑family dwelling at 90 Gage Ave; approval requires recording and site‑plan review before a building permit is issued.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6579114,"Revere Zoning Board Grants Rear‑yard Deck Variances for 24 Shurtleff St.",270,192000,462000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3100499-db8633c678a4c076096795c77a84ca56&start=192&end=462","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3100499-db8633c678a4c076096795c77a84ca56/thumbnail_192000.jpg","/articles/6579114/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Revere-Zoning-Board-Grants-Rearyard-Deck-Variances-for-24-Shurtleff-St","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6579114-bb0f5079db0c4883e30fcbd80030fc13/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160764&Signature=Qjryex7ZqFY5CoefPyk5n7Ylo8Hzh5wb-7M0iUpgpVL6O-RtUst9K756CXkhZzSqBxTE8RJY1g~FPtfKTdmkZQuykGML0Hk39QV93RSmJ9bbkj1zfM2nhcjlniVlbTLKxMyV1DWSwqT-l6qJxRRWOX8YCkFWaR3JaGvGhafskpN6mIabXCeNve5qebv2DejIlhKS5OL5VTW~y9D37XGCw-7GLQnEG4suxRQBDV3Sk5XnsWgq7gIUeLwkWgOw4twGDO49SSVaaZNKxBeWlCkwrv~CuN2~nIQi2gOYAygy1Md6~0jrR5cbtUYcr1tn410nMGY8ax-zdqMMoYYWe30euw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously to grant a variance that will allow construction of a 12.5‑by‑19‑foot rear deck at 24 Shurtleff St.

The variance, sought by applicant John Durand, was granted Thursday after the board said the appellant must submit a plot plan prepared to the board’s specifications and meet standard recording and site‑plan review requirements before applying for a building permit. The board’s stated conditions include: exercise of the variance within one year or lapse of rights; recordation of the variance and plan in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds with recording numbers and dates submitted to the city clerk and building inspector; and site‑plan approval done in accordance with the Zoning Board of Appeals’ specifications prior to a building permit.

John Durand identified himself as the construction general contractor for 24 Shurtleff St. He told the board the application is to obtain relief from the Revere revised zoning ordinances, section 17‑2‑4‑0‑1‑0 (Rear Yard Deck Setback for Decks), to construct the deck. The board’s chair and members discussed and confirmed that final approval would be contingent on the required plan and recording steps.

Chairman Tucker and members Mr. Lemina, Mr. Lopes, Mr. O’Brien and Mr. Pelton each voted “yes” in a roll call vote; the motion was approved and the variance granted subject to the stated conditions.

The board indicated that, once the applicant submits a plot plan meeting their specifications and completes the required recordings, the building permit process can proceed through the city’s normal site‑plan and permitting review.","The Revere Zoning Board of Appeals granted a variance allowing a 12.5‑by‑19‑foot rear deck at 24 Shurtleff St., subject to standard recording, site‑plan and timing conditions.","actionData","errors"]
