All interested parties may attend and opinions will be heard regarding the following petition. Whereas a petition has been presented by: Property Address: 29 - 31 Harding Avenue Everett, MA 02149 Map/Parcel: Building Permit: N0-04-000018 B-24-674 Property Owner: Mr. Thiago Araujo 29 Harding Ave. Everett, MA 02149 PROPOSAL: To convert the existing single family into a two-family residential dwelling Violations: Insufficient Lot Area: The subject property contains approximately 3,302 s.f. of area. Section 4.B.2 of the Zoning Ordinance requires 5,500 s.f. of lot area for a single family and 7,000 s.f. for a two-family dwelling. The existing structure predates these requirements and is therefore a lawfully preexisting, non-conforming structure. The addition of a second dwelling unit will increase the nonconforming nature of the structure and therefore requires a Special Permit from the Zoning Board of Appeals, pursuant to Section 3.F of the Zoning Ordinance. Also, no parking spaces were provided for the conversion which per 4.a.17 requires 4 parking spaces.

Interest rates are more than double where they were two years ago, and I’m certain prices would be even higher without those changes.” ---Cassidy Norton, Associate Publisher and Media Relations Director of The Warren Group announcing the median single-family sale price in the Bay State rose to $650,000 – an increase of 6.6 percent from the $610,000 price tag in July 2023. HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been filed. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible late-night sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of August 19-23. the House met for a total of 30 minutes and the Senate met for a total of 15 minutes. MON. AUGUST 19 No House session No Senate session TUES.
