There will also be a oneway access drive around the building which is earmarked for deliveries, trash removal and other uses besides resident traffi c. “Utility connections will be made to the existing 10-inch waterline that is in Revere Beach Boulevard, and gas service will be connected, as well,” said Salvo. Like many parcels along Revere Beach Boulevard, Salvo said, the sewer lines run down the middle of the parcels. The sewer line will be moved to the rear of the property and upgraded from a 15-inch to an 18-inch line, he said. “In terms of stormwater management, there are 560 linear feet of 66-inch perforated pipe that will be installed along the whole frontage of the property,” said Salvo. “It will be sized to handle a 100-year storm event and to mitigate all the roof runoff from this site.” BUILDING | SEE Page 20 J& $45 yd.
