Page 14 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, FEbRuARy 6, 2026 BEACON | FROM PAGE 12 Rep. John Gaskey (R-Carver), the only member to vote against the bill, said he voted no “because it’s more evidence of the state trying to legislate safety.” Gaskey continued, “As stated, there are groups raising money to provide AEDs. Instead of mandating they be installed, forcing future costs onto struggling communities, we should be encouraging their adoption and helping these groups find more ways to make AEDs available at sporting events.” (A “Yes” vote is for the bill. A “No” vote is against it.) Rep.

DeCRISTOFARO REGISTER OF PROBATE February 06, 2026 at public stadiums, sports centers, gymnasiums or other facilities hosting or providing athletic or sporting events, and also pay for any necessary equipment and infrastructure to properly hold and charge the devices. Amendment supporters said that without this amendment, the bill is an unfunded state mandate forced on already financially struggling cities and towns. They noted that the total cost of acquiring an AEDs and housing it outside at sporting events is between $10,000 and $25,000 each. “Automated External Defibrillators are essential because they can be used to provide immediate treatment to someone who has suffered a heart attack and help to stabilize them until first responders arrive,” said House Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones (R-North Reading). “However, there are costs associated with maintaining and storing AEDs to ensure they are always fully charged and ready to use. I supported the creation of a Massachusetts AED Communities Fund as a vehicle to help cities and towns offset the costs associated with the purchase and upkeep of these life-saving devices and related infrastructure.” Rep. Paul Frost (R-Auburn), the sponsor of the amendment, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him to comment on the passage of the proposal. Reps.

All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: Map/Parcel: Building Permit Property Owner: Proposal: The applicant proposes to alter the existing building at 27 Auburn Street in a Dwelling District to increase the number of dwelling units from the existing one (1) dwelling unit to five (5) dwelling units. Reason for Denial: • Multi-family uses are not permitted in the Dwelling District under Section 4.A of the Zoning Ordinance. A use variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals is required. • • The proposal will result in a floor area ratio (“FAR”) of 0.7, which exceeds the permitted FAR of 0.5, pursuant to Section 4.B.2.c of the Zoning Ordinance. A variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals is required. The property is currently nonconforming as to front setback (20’ required; 9.4 existing). The applicant proposes to increase the nonconformity, resulting in a front setback of 7.5 feet. The proposed extension/alteration of this nonconformity requires a special permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to Section 3.C and 3.F of the Zoning Ordinance. • The project requires site plan approval from the Planning Board, pursuant to Section 19 of the Zoning Ordinance. • Pursuant to Section 17 of the Zoning Ordinance, ten parking spaces are required for the proposed five dwelling units. Only nine parking spaces are proposed. The project therefore requires either a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals or compliance with the Transportation Demand Management provisions of Section 35 of the Ordinance.
