Summary
The commission approved a Notice of Intent for demolition and construction of a five‑story self‑storage facility at 195 American Legion Highway after the applicant updated plans and the commission verified outstanding site‑plan review items are handled separately; approval facilitates further permitting and marketing.
The Revere City Conservation Commission approved a Notice of Intent that clears the way for demolition and eventual construction of a five‑story self‑storage facility at 195 American Legion Highway.
Applicant representative Matthew Caso (Deals Associates) said the applicant on record has changed to Vin Conti (90 ALH Realty LLC) and that the updated plans now reflect a five‑story structure consistent with prior approvals from the City Council and Zoning Board of Appeals. Caso told the commission that remaining items for the site‑plan review committee include hydrant flow tests, water connection details and structural plans to protect an existing sewer main that runs through the rear of the property.
Commissioners noted that full demolition and cleanup are likely to be tied to the sale or selection of a developer; there are no immediate plans to start demolition until the property is sold or a developer is engaged. The commission closed the hearing and voted to approve the NOI, noting that the order of conditions will last the usual permit period and that other site‑plan and utility approvals remain on the applicant’s checklist.
"Having the approval allows it to get this transformed into something that isn't polluted," a commissioner said, while noting that cleanup and abatement costs will be addressed as the project proceeds through sale and remediation steps.
