The Revere Zoning Board of Appeals met for about three minutes last Wednesday to take up the petition from Cavallo Corporation of Somerville for numerous variances to enable Cavallo to construct a single-family dwelling on vacant Lots 5 and 6 on Agneous Avenue.
Chairman Michael Tucker and members Aklog Limeneh, Arthur Pelton, John Lopes, and new member Hazem Hamdan were present.
Lawrence A. Simeone Jr., the attorney for the petitioner, said that his client would like to withdraw its application without prejudice after having been unable to resolve matters with neighbors at the present time.
“There appears to be quite a divide as to what should and should not go on this lot,†said Simeone.
Tucker said that the board had received numerous emails on the matter, including from Ward 1 Councillor Joanne McKenna and Ward 4 Councillor Patrick M. Keefe Jr.
The board unanimously voted to allow the petition to be withdrawn without prejudice, which means that the applicant could come back at a later time..
Tucker said the next meeting of the ZBA is set for October 27.
Following is the full petition that was on the agenda.
