THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021 Page 7 Inello, city appear close to agreement on 727 Revere Beach Parkway By Adam Swift C ity officials, neighbors and the owner of 727 Revere Beach Pkwy. look like they have come to an agreement on the future of the property. A representative for Robert Inello was before the City Council on Monday night with the latest plan for the property, which calls for self-storage units in one unit of a two-story building, and the other unit proposed as the location of Inello’s electrical contracting business. Prior proposals for residential units and a larger self-storage business at the site had been met with opposition by neighbors. The new proposal will have less traffi c than the previous plan, and the building height is being reduced by 10 feet to 31 feet, according to Attorney Kari-Ann Greene, who was representing Inello. “This has the support of the ward councillor, and it’s a great project for the city and provides an opportunity to keep Mr. Inello’s business in the city,” said Greene. Niko Kostopoulos, a resident of nearby Mill Street, said he wasn’t necessarily opposed to the proposal, but said he had concerns about truck traffic from the electrical business. “When he had the electrical business there before, there was a problem with trucks traveling down Mill Street at a high rate of speed all the time,” he said. Kostopoulos said he also hoped the property would be properly baited for rat control, since the property has been vacant for some time. “We are certainly going to hold him accountable for all of these things through the building department,” said City Council President Anthony Zambuto. “To me, this use looks better than what was approved before [the larger selfstorage building] and less offensive than what was going to go there.” Taft Street resident James Derrico said neighbors met with owner Robert Inello and Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna and are excited to have something appropriate to the neighborhood on the lot. “As long as it stays as it says on the plan and is kept cleaned up, we don’t have a problem with this structure,” said Derrico. McKenna said she has talked to several neighbors who live across the street from the site and they have told her they have no issues with the project as it has been presented.
