NEW BUSINESS
142 REVERE ROAD
142 Revere Road received several violations for not requiring proper permits. The homeowners were sent to the BAC for design approval (siding/roofing) and the BAC denied their application, leaving the BOT the opportunity to accept or appeal the BAC’s decision. Mayor Ceriello acknowledged that the homeowners have extenuating circumstances that prevented them from receiving the proper permits. The Mayor moved to conditionally approve the work that is in place as long as said owners own the home. Furthermore, once the title changes for 142 Revere Road that conditional approval will expire. Motion was seconded by Trustee Williams and approved as follows:
Mayor Larry Ceriello: AYE
Deputy Antonio D’Angelo: AYE
Trustee Regina Im: AYE
Trustee Greg LiCalzi: AYE
Trustee Joseph Williams: AYE
