Page 16 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRiDAy, July 7, 2023 SHOOTINGS | FROM PAGE 10 were responsible for trafficking more than 10 kilograms each of fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine into Maine. Minier-Tejada and his coconspirators produced numerous videos and images in which they were depicted brandishing and holding firearms, including multiple machine guns. Evidence proved that, in 2019 and 2020, Minier-Tejada and co-conspirator Coleman committed six shootings in Boston and surrounding communities in furtherance of the drug conspiracy. One of the shootings, which took place in Cambridge in July 2020, was in response to a video being live-streamed from a parking lot accusing Minier-Tejada and Coleman of cooperating with law enforcement. Minier-Tejada and Coleman travelled to the streaming location with two firearms – including a machine gun – and together fired at least 30 rounds into a large crowd of people who had gathered in the parking lot. Additionally, as part of the drug conspiracy, Minier-Tejada was proven to have participated in the acquisition of over 40 firearms and multiple “selector switches” for TRG members from drug users in Maine. “Selector switches,” or auto sears, are aftermarket parts that convert a semi-automatic firearm into a machine gun. “The highest calling for the Department of Justice is to keep our communities safe. This case should send a clear and unequivocal message to those who chose to pump fentanyl and other deadly drugs into our streets and brazenly brandish highly dangerous firearms to protect their trade – you will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We will spare no resources working with our federal, state and local partners to make sure that people who terrorize their communities and who show a callous disregard for CITY OF EVERETT - LEGAL NOTICE - ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 484 BROADWAY, ROOM 24 EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS 02149 To Whom It May Concern: This notice is to inform you that a public hearing will be held on Monday July 17, 2023 at 6:00 PM, Everett City Hall, 3rd Floor George Keverian Hearing Room. All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: 15 Dean St. Everett, MA. 02149 Map/Parcel: C0-06-000049 Permit Number: B-22-685 Person Requesting: Tom Mills 15 Dean St. Everett, MA 02149 PROPOSAL: The owner wishes to demolish a single-family dwelling and erect a three (3) family dwelling in the Dwelling District. The plot plan submitted indicates the lot area is 4,665 SF. Architectural plans submitted by Lafreneire Architects shows the proposed floor area is 4,383 SF. In the plans provided there are 5 proposed parking spaces in the rear. Reason for Denial: Permit was denied in accordance to the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance. The applicant shall seek relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals as follows: Section 4.A(1) Allows conversion of one- and two-family structures to three family structures, provided certain conditions are satisfied. This provision does not permit demolition of an existing single-family dwelling and construction of a new three-family dwelling, since this is not a conversion of the existing structure. A use variance is therefore required. Section 4 B. Dimensional Requirements. 1. Frontage (A) 50 feet minimum. According to the plans provided, the property at 15 Dean St. has a frontage of 40 feet. Although the frontage of the lot will not change, the use of the nonconforming lot will be intensified. Therefore, it is my determination that the proposal will increase the nonconforming nature of the lot and that a special permit is required from the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to Section 4.F of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 4 B. Dimensional Requirements. 2. Lot Area (C) 0.5 maximum floor area ratio. According to the plans provided, the applicant proposes a .94 FAR. Since the property is currently conforming as to lot area, a variance for the proposed FAR is required. Section 17. Off-Street Parking. (A). 2. Multifamily Dwellings. 2 (two) spaces per dwelling unit. In the plans provided 5 (five) parking spaces are proposed where 6 (six) are required. The applicant must either obtain a variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals or choose to participate in the TDM provisions of Section 35.
