Commissioners said they walked the billboard removal site and emphasized the need to remove electrical service and avoid impacts in the sensitive, phragmites‑infested area. They also reported a site visit to New River High School on North Road; the project’s plans are about 60% complete and the commission expects a follow-up presentation with finalized plans that preserve creek-area buffers and emergency access routes.

Commissioner Tom reported meeting with Parking Commissioner Zach Babo about concerns at 1012 North Shore Road. Babo advised that commercial vehicles parked in the driveway will not be ticketed and that residential vehicles can get free city parking stickers. Commissioners agreed to communicate these options to the property owner and to assist with a translator and a step‑by‑step plan for removing a failing retaining wall that is leaning toward a neighbor’s house.

Commissioners also noted other recent site visits, including Slade’s Mill and 74 Dunn Road, and said DPW had completed sewer backups and cleanups related to these properties. The chair emphasized the need for an impartial translator for next steps where language barriers exist.

Rhianna Summers of Weston & Sampson and Kristen Holmayer, resilience manager for the North Suffolk Office of Resilience and Sustainability (NSORS), presented the proposal and said the current filing covers only sediment sampling and lab analysis to characterize contaminants and disposal needs. Summers described the plan for six sediment cores collected with a VibraCore system deployed from a small boat during high tide to avoid crossing salt marsh and to minimize disturbance; cores will be less than 3 inches in diameter and up to about 6 feet deep or until refusal.

Presenters said the limited work would allow the team to design a future project that could include invasive species treatment (phragmites and tree of heaven), trash and debris removal, a kayak launch and a boardwalk on the Chelsea side, and partial removal of the northern portion of the berm to improve safety and hydraulic conditions. The project team noted the site contains salt marsh, coastal bank, coastal beach, tidal flat, and areas containing shellfish; the site is within land subject to coastal storm flowage at elevation 10 feet. The project team also reported active coordination with the Massachusetts Historical Commission and federal agencies for historic-review and archaeological monitoring plans as mitigation for potential adverse effects.

Commissioners asked technical questions about the VibraCore equipment (the presenters said it is pneumatic) and about invasive species locations. Commenters and commissioners discussed ownership and maintenance coordination among DCR, Chelsea and Revere; presenters said Chelsea would maintain boardwalk/park areas and that Revere and DCR are cooperating. The commission closed the hearing and approved the notice of intent, with staff to follow up on the certificate of compliance process after the sampling work is complete.","The commission approved a notice of intent (DEP file 0610845) for limited sediment coring at Slade’s Mill Dam to characterize sediments for future partial dam removal, habitat enhancement and waterfront access work; sampling will use VibraCore from a small boat and take one to two days.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6527195,"Homeowner granted negative determination to remove detached garage at 23 Frank Ave",352,1469000,1821000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3642810-0ec9e9d1f9aad3f1fa8f58280f2cd8d4&start=1469&end=1821","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3642810-0ec9e9d1f9aad3f1fa8f58280f2cd8d4/thumbnail_1469000.jpg","/articles/6527195/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/Homeowner-granted-negative-determination-to-remove-detached-garage-at-23-Frank-Ave","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527195-9e2747fa8be6c6805be423fd3e6f0d8a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140123&Signature=e6s334C65ohcQJmVSSEWG8eWOQGqEaZEVhqzh4xueA7R-HcWMB~P4elfz-cxSlInIL7YzW0-KHugWA0P38zI1nUa2Xm3qhWbQTB4Bsw8ozltdlUWknyY0GKNVVDbFOGWJgJAaQxU4QB2cAs6sPGkfuhJYdPDeVnWiGx9dA1w0G4Ug5WrHbW89ZGp-1aJdkyUTAIdKT8c-B8myhjj-YqeoSszHJWSxYXtcQ~w-qziNZoMXg39jBxe5L~wl1pAKZX78NbUQwPWlX65tzHLq9us700mFCekdk-0LNmuC1UuXFhMR~b43Vsh1UaPQ42uchV2EjXVZfKF9SGPzShYhOzfsA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere Conservation Commission voted to issue a negative determination of applicability for work at 23 Frank Ave to allow removal of a detached garage and restore the area to lawn. Homeowner Katie Gavin and her contractor, who identified himself as Junior, described the project as deconstruction of a roughly 20-by-20 detached garage and restoration of the yard to grass.

Gavin said she purchased the house in December 2023 and that the detached garage has no utilities; she said she wants a lawn in place of the current concrete and paved surfaces. During a prior site visit, the commission inspected the condition of the garage and surrounding area. Commissioners confirmed the work would be mainly demolition and excavation with placement of loam and grass to match existing grades.

A nearby resident, Angela Guirino, spoke in favor of removing concrete to improve neighborhood drainage. Commissioners asked whether downspouts or other drainage elements would be retained; the homeowner and contractor said they would maintain drainage and use a small infiltration approach (described generically at the hearing).

After closing the hearing, the commission voted to issue a negative determination under the Wetlands Protection Act; staff will provide signatures and the homeowner may proceed once paperwork is complete.","The commission granted a negative determination of applicability under the Wetlands Protection Act for deconstruction of a detached garage at 23 Frank Ave after a site visit; the homeowner plans to return the area to lawn.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6527198,"City of Revere’s Gibson Park plan approved after shifting tennis courts to pickleball and adding community gardens",952,486000,1438000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3642810-0ec9e9d1f9aad3f1fa8f58280f2cd8d4&start=486&end=1438","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3642810-0ec9e9d1f9aad3f1fa8f58280f2cd8d4/thumbnail_486000.jpg","/articles/6527198/Revere-City/Suffolk-County/Massachusetts/City-of-Reveres-Gibson-Park-plan-approved-after-shifting-tennis-courts-to-pickleball-and-adding-community-gardens","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6527198-869a787c360c01d8e036d6a9181583fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771140123&Signature=Pr-VibcaZLbsgkCcUBHmvl8xa~dD1VAJVhwwfCJ~hukIeqnFq5fkKTnqXJV0Ohtehk0Ma5tY5N9vkZv4qzOpGwPnCt9yy8XTByeYHYadxrwSED~IItHM1YAFj4NzG9TqQ9J9Sstnhi22v76saUZ5qeXI50nxlJF92YYEZ-4idjLVc89L320eINFYTWHwHp5AUj98jnyXtiKcSKH~vII6m~G4EsqlA0nFuzo1G~7Ew5lVvWApuAWRF7-axS8K89RjbSUz-qh8kPTsZSARY4BKyZIIIVwjUfi1n~Ii7hu4Ye7oQwIO1Gh5GeT2VYpOvyjC1q8DSGymC7dsiPnXrP6aDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Revere Conservation Commission approved a notice of intent filed by the City of Revere for redevelopment of Gibson Park, DEP file number 0610842. Claire Hogeboom of LEC Environmental Consultants presented revisions and said the project moves the originally proposed double-stacked tennis courts into six pickleball courts in phase 1, relocates community garden beds to maintain public access, and reduces impervious area by about 2,700 square feet.

Hogeboom told the commission the change to pickleball was made because phase 2 may be delayed and the city wanted earlier community access to courts. She said the new garden location includes raised beds, permeable stone-dust substrate, a concrete pad with two storage sheds, and one raised bed on the pad for ADA accessibility. Hogeboom said the design reduces impervious surface by about 2,700 square feet, for a total impervious reduction of 26,148 square feet across the project.

Hogeboom also presented a corrected planting sheet; she reported the project would remove 17 trees (10 native, one cultivar, six non-native/invasive or stressed) and would add a net increase of 23 native trees. The commission asked about materials for the courts and the turf field; Hogeboom said the courts will be asphalt or concrete with an acrylic sand-color seal coat, and the turf will be natural grass rather than synthetic turf.

Councilor Guarino Sawaya and other public speakers asked how gardeners who currently use plots would be affected. Hogeboom and the commission said the project team intends to sequence work to avoid interrupting community garden access, and staff offered to report back with a construction schedule to minimize disruptions. The commission closed the hearing and approved the notice of intent by voice vote.

Commissioners commented that the shift of pickleball courts moves activity away from the nearby residential neighborhood and that the project overall would improve native tree cover and reduce impervious area.","The commission approved the City of Revere’s Gibson Park notice of intent (DEP file 0610842).

The applicant is R and S Realty; Rick Selbo of Engineering Alliance presented on behalf of the applicant and said the Department of Environmental Protection reviewer requested flow-through openings because half the building sits within the floodplain. Selbo said the project team will \"raise the grade slightly around the downhill side of this building so that it will be able to be removed from the floodplain,\" and that the plans now show openings sized to the state building code formula. He said the proposed openings provide about 29,500 square inches where roughly 13,950 would be required.

Commissioners discussed the plan and expressed support for the additional openings. After closing the hearing, a motion was made and seconded to approve the notice of intent; the commission recorded unanimous assent. The commission also noted the plan includes a planted buffer and that the proposed design will provide improved flood storage compared with the existing buildings, which currently lack flood openings.

No additional technical comments were listed in the file beyond the requested flood openings, and Selbo said he had provided the DEP analyst and the commission with the updated documents prior to the meeting. The commission closed the hearing and approved the notice of intent.

The approval allows the project to proceed to the next permitting steps with the DEP file number on record; construction timing was discussed generally as not immediate. The commission did not specify further conditions beyond the plan revisions presented at the hearing.","The Revere Conservation Commission approved a notice of intent for a garage project at rear Squire Road (DEP file 0610844) after the applicant added state-required flood openings and minor grading to remove part of the structure from the floodplain.","actionData","errors"]
