Page 8 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8, 2019 ZBA denies variance for Ferry Street property By Christopher Roberson T he Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously, during its November 4 meeting, to reject the variance request for the proposed project at 126 Ferry St. The proposal involved razing the existing building and constructing a three-story building with eight residential units. The property owner, LMJ LLC, sought relief from the floor area ratio as well as setback relief in the front, side and rear ZBA | SEE PAGE 19 Community rain garden opens off Wyllis Ave. yards. Off-street parking was not available, which did not sit well with ZBA as two off-street parking spaces are required for each unit. Attorney Anthony Rossi, On Monday, November 4, Mayor Carlo DeMaria was joined by approximately 100 residents for the ribbon-cutting of a new community rain garden located on Wyllis Avenue. The garden was named in honor of Jon Norton, a lifelong Everett resident and chairman of the Everett Conservation Commission for the past 30 years. It was designed by 10 students from the Madeline English School with guidance from landscape designer and artist Carolyn Lewenberg. Everett Conservation Commission Chairman Jon Norton and the students involved in the rain garden project attended the ribbon-cutting along with elected officials, teachers and representatives from the Mystic River Watershed Association, the Barr Foundation, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council and National Grid.
