Everett Conservation Commission September 6, 2024 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 September 16, 2024 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: Map/Parcel: Property Owner: PROPOSAL: The subject property is located in the Business District. It currently contains a single structure with two stories at the front (along Elm Street) and one story at the rear (along Woodlawn Avenue). The first story contains two businesses (a hair salon and a restaurant/bar), and the second floor contains two residential units. The applicant proposes to replace the bar/restaurant use with three first-floor residential units and to add three additional units on the second floor by extending the second floor over the existing one-story portion of the structure. The existing hair salon is proposed to remain. Reason for Denial: Permit was denied in accordance with the City of Everett Zoning Ordinance as follows: 1. Front Setback – Pursuant to Section 6.B.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, no front setback is required for commercial uses, but residential uses require a front setback of at least 10 feet. The existing structure does not satisfy this requirement. A variance from this provision is required to add residential units on the first floor of the building. 2. Rear Setback – Pursuant to Section 6.B.8 of the Zoning Ordinance, no rear setback is required for commercial structures on corner lots, but residential uses require a rear setback of at least 7 feet. The existing structure does not satisfy this requirement. A variance from this provision is required to add residential units on the first floor of the building. 3. Parking – It appears that the property currently contains some parking behind the building, but no parking plan has been submitted in compliance with Section 17.C of the Zoning Ordinance. Accordingly, it is not possible to evaluate the extent to which the existing and proposed uses comply with the parking requirements set forth in Section 17. The applicant shall submit a parking plan meeting the requirements of Section 17.C. If the parking is not compliant, the applicant may either seek relief from the Zoning Board of Appeals or choose to participate in the Transportation Demand Management program, pursuant to Section 35 of the Zoning Ordinance. REBECCA EDMONDSON KOREM - Chairman ROBERTA SUPPA - Clerk of Board of Appeals August 30, September 6, 2024 10 Woodlawn Ave. Everett, MA 02149 N0-01-000159 NDC-RE LLC 19 Kathy Lane Wakefield, MA 01810 There were no roll call votes in the House or Senate last week. This week, Beacon Hill Roll Call reports local senators’ roll call attendance records for the 2024 session through August 30. The Senate has held 150 roll calls so far in the 2024 session. Beacon Hill Roll Call tabulates the number of roll calls on which each senator voted and then calculates that number as a percentage of the total roll call votes held. That percentage is the number referred to as the roll call attendance record. Thirty-six (90 percent) of the current 40 senators did not miss any roll calls and have Beacon Hill Roll Call By Bob Katzen 100 percent roll call attendance records. Four (10 percent) of the 40 senators missed one or more roll calls. It is a Senate tradition that the Senate president only votes occasionally. Current Senate President Karen Spilka follows that tradition and only voted on 28 (18.7 percent) of the 150 roll calls while not voting on 122 (81.3 percent) of them. Sen. Mike Rush (D-West Roxbury) missed 14 roll calls for a roll call attendance record of 90.6 percent. Sen. Mike Barrett (D-Lexington) missed three roll calls resulting in a 98 percent roll call attendance record. Sen. Liz Miranda (D-Boston) missed one roll call resulting in a 99.3 percent roll call attendance record. Beacon Hill Roll Call contacted Rush, Barrett and Miranda asking why they missed some roll calls. Here are their responses: Sen. Mike Rush: “I am one of three members of the Senate who are active reservists. On April 25th, June 6th and June 13th, I was on orders with the United States Navy and as a result was unable to participate in roll call votes during session. I had submitted letters to the Clerk of the Senate to be included in the Senate Journal stating this fact and recording how I would have voted had I been present.” Sen. Mike Barrett: “I was drafting the Senate’s climate bill, exacting work that occasionally had me missing a roll call.” Sen. Liz Miranda: “I missed one roll call because I actually came late into the chamber, from my office while dealing with an emergency constituent issue. I submitted a letter when I arrived moments after.” SENATORS’ 2024 ROLL CALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS THROUGH AUGUST 30, 2024 The percentage listed next to the senator’s name is the percentage of roll call votes on which the senator voted. The number in parentheses represents the number of roll calls that he or she missed. Sen. Sal DiDomenico 100 percent (0) ALSO UP ON BEACON HILL BEACON | SEE PAGE 19
