The Revere Conservation Commission (ConsComm) held a brief (seven minutes) regular monthly meeting last Wednesday (December 6) in the City Council Chamber. Vice-chair Nicholas Rudolph and fellow commissioners Joseph LaValle, Robert Cassidy, Samantha Woodman, and Brian Averbach were on hand for the meeting.
The first matter taken up was the request by the city for a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for its project at 319 Charger St. However, Lorena Escolero from the Community Development office said that the city has yet to finish the project and is requesting a continuance for a month.
After Rudolph described for his fellow commissioners the scope of the work that still needs to be completed, the commission voted unanimously to continue the matter until its next meeting.
The next item on the agenda was a request for a CoC for the repaving of the Target parking lot at 36 Furlong Drive. There were no opponents and the commission unanimously approved issuing the CoC, which closes out the matter.
The commission also addressed a Notice of Project Change (NPC) for the addition of new housing units at The Highlands at Overlook Ridge. The commission was informed that the comment period submitted for this project has been extended to December 12. Escolero explained that the notice was merely a courtesy notice and that the commission did not need to take any action.
The commissioners listed the following site visits that they conducted in the past month:
— November 9 at 5 Agneous Ave. and 18 Neponset St. for pre-construction visits; and
— December 2 at 319 Charger St.
The commission then adjourned until its next meeting.
