added â€œthat those protections

came directly from feedback

added that â€œaccess to menstrual

--------Cause
of death revealed
for 3 American tourists
found dead in Belize
By Richard Pollina
and Isabel Keane
of the NY Post
The three young American women
found dead at a Belize beach resort
last month died from â€œfatal exposure
to carbon monoxide poisoning,â€ according
to a new toxicology report.
Kaoutar Naqqad, 23; Imane Mallah,
24; and Wafae El-Arar, 26 â€” all
from Revere, Mass. â€” were found
dead inside their room at the Royal
Kahal Beach Resort in San Pedro
on Feb. 22.
A toxicology report from Belizeâ€™s
National Forensic Service shows
that the girls had a build-up of fl uid
in the lungs known as acute pulmonary
edema, which was triggered
by the carbon monoxide exposure,
WCVB reported.
In a statement released on Thursday
by Mayor Patrick Keefe, he
states: â€œThe families of Wafae El Arar,
Imane Mallah, and Kaoutar Naqqad
deserved the truth as they grieve
this unimaginable loss. These young
women were valued members of
our community, and while the gravity
of this tragedy weighs heavily on
us all, I am grateful for the diligence
of our state and federal partners in
ensuring that a proper investigation
was conducted and brought
the truth to light.â€

Meet Piper! The City of Revereâ€™s latest innovation
Mayor announced AI chatbot aimed to revolutionize customer service
A
t the 2025 State of the City
Address, Mayor Patrick
M. Keefe, Jr. announced the
launch of the City of Revereâ€™s
latest customer service tool,
Piper! Piper is a text messaging
service that lets residents
quickly and easily connect
with the city 24/7 without the
need to download an app. It
was launched in partnership
with Citibot, the leading provider
of interactive chat solutions
for local government.
To start a conversation via
text message, residents can
text â€œHelloâ€ to (844) 30 â€” PIPER
(74737). Piper immediately
responds with a short greeting
explaining the ways residents
can use the service.
Piper combines advanced
generative AI and machine
learning to handle a wide
range of resident needs. With
support for 75 languages, it is
also a valuable tool in creating
an inclusive and accessible
community.
Residents can submit service
requests to Piper, such
as reporting a pothole to be
fi lled, and can also ask questions,
such as when City Hall
is open or when the next City
Council meeting is. If at any
time during the interaction a
Revere resident needs assistance
or help from City staff ,
they can send in a message
with Piper, and the appropriate
staff member can follow
up with them.
â€œPiper will revolutionize the
way residents communicate
with City Hall: Its usefulness
has no limits. People want answers
at their fi ngertips, and
now is the time. With profi -
ciency in 75 languages, advanced
AI technology, and
supported by our 311 Department,
Piper marks yet another
elevation in access to City
services,â€ said Mayor Keefe.
Based in Charleston, S.C.,
Citibot LLC was formed in
2016 with a mission of making
cities and counties accessible
for all. Citibot cofounder/CEO
Bratton Riley was inspired
by the evolution of
the conversational chatbot
and its ability to help governments
be more accessible
and accountable to every resident.
â€œPeopleâ€™s expectations
of high-quality customer service
are ever-increasing,â€ said
Riley. â€œCities like Revere are
leading the way by delivering
powerful solutions to maximize
effi ciency and enhance
access to information and vital
services.â€
Revere is the first municipality
in Massachusetts to
adopt Citibotâ€™s service.

March 18-23.
â€œThe Commonwealth is a
safer place for our residents
to live and work because ICE
and our federal law enforcement
partners arrested hundreds
of alien off enders and removed
them from the streets
of Massachusetts,â€ said ICE Enforcement
and Removal Operations
Boston acting Field Offi
ce Director Patricia H. Hyde.
www.810bargrille.com
â€œThroughout this enhanced
enforcement operation, we
targeted the most dangerous
alien off enders in some of the
most crime-infested neighborhoods
in and around Boston.
Our eff orts resulted in 370 arrests
throughout the commonwealth.
ICE and our federal law
enforcement partners are committed
to protecting the homeland
through the eradication
of transnational criminal organizations,
dismantling dangerous
criminal gangs preying on
the American public, locating
and arresting criminal alien offenders,
and making our communities
a safer place to live.â€
During the six-day enhanced
operation, ICE and federal law
enforcement partners targeted
egregious criminal alien offenders
including transnational
criminal organizations known
to operate in and around Boston
and throughout Massachusetts.
These organizations
include the notorious MS-13,
Tren de Aragua, Trinitarios, and
18th Street gangs.
â€œThis weekâ€™s enhanced enforcement
operations with our
partners from the FBI, DEA, ATF,
DSS and CBP prove that we
are taking a whole of government
approach to protecting
our communities from foreign
nationals involved in transnational
gangs, drug traffi ckers,
child predators, violent criminals
and dangerous individuals
living in New England,â€ said
ICE Homeland Security Investigations
New England Special
Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol.
â€œICE will use every resource and
authority we have to prioritize
the safety and security of our
communities.â€
â€œEveryone should agree that
we cannot and will not tolerate
individuals who not only
violate our immigration laws
but then commit crimes that
endanger our communities.
Those who enter and remain
in this country unlawfully are
breaking the law,â€ said U.S. Attorney
for the District of Massachusetts
Leah B. Foley. â€œMy
office remains committed to
working alongside our law enforcement
partners to ensure
that dangerous individuals are
identifi ed, prosecuted, and removed,
so that the people of
Massachusetts can live and
work in safe and secure communities.â€

205 of those arrested had signifi
cant criminal convictions or
charges. Six were foreign fugitives
currently facing charges
or convictions for murder, drug
trafficking, organized crime,
and money laundering
â€œSafeguarding the integrity
of the immigration and citizenship
process is critical. We
simply canâ€™t permit violent and
dangerous criminals to enter
or remain in the United States
under false pretenses, with
unknown allegiances and intentions.
Itâ€™s a direct threat to
public safety and our national
security,â€ said Special Agent
in Charge of the FBI Boston Division
Jodi Cohen. â€œThereâ€™s no
question our communities are
safer today because of this enhanced,
targeted operation.
FBI Boston, like all our federal
partners, will continue to support
ICE with these eff orts.â€
Law enforcement officials
seized approximately 44 kilograms
of methamphetamines,
5 kilograms of fentanyl, 1.2 kilograms
of cocaine, three fi rearms
and ammunition from illegal
alien off enders during the
operation.
â€œDEA is proud to have worked
with our federal partners in this
successful enforcement eff ort
using all of the resources of
the federal government to remove
violent criminal aliens
from our communities, said
DEA New England Field Division
acting Special Agent in
Charge Stephen Belleau. â€œDEA
has prioritized investigations
on those involving violent, illegal
criminal aliens responsible
for fl ooding our communities
with deadly and dangerous
drugs. DEAâ€™s core mission
is to keep the American public
safe by seizing deadly and
dangerous drugs before they
get into our communities, and
to bring justice to the criminals
responsible for manufacturing,
distributing, and supplying
these drugs.â€
ICE and their federal law
enforcement partners made
many of the apprehensions after
local jurisdictions refused
to honor immigration detainer
requests to turn over the offenders
and instead chose to
release aliens from custody,
forcing offi cers and agents to
make at-large arrests in Massachusetts
communities.
â€œThe successful outcome of
this immigration enforcement
operation demonstrates the
dedication and collaboration of
our law enforcement partners,â€
said Special Agent in Charge of
the ATF Boston Field Division
James M. Ferguson. â€œBy targeting
individuals who pose a
threat to public safety, we are
reinforcing our commitment
to protecting our communities
and upholding the integrity of
our nationâ€™s immigration laws.â€
â€œThe Diplomatic Security Service
is fully committed to supporting
the Administrationâ€™s
priority to reduce illegal immigration
and root out those
who endeavor to exploit the
U.S. travel system,â€ said Diplomatic
Security Service Boston
Field Office Special Agent in
Charge Matthew Oâ€™Brien. â€œThis
enhanced operation defi nitively
made our communities safer.
DSS proudly coordinates with
our U.S. and international law
enforcement partners to conduct
passport, visa fraud, and
human trafficking investigations
and assist in apprehending
fugitives to protect the integrity
of U.S. borders and prevent
illegal immigration.â€
Among those arrested during
the enhanced targeted operation
include:
â€¢ A Dominican alien who illegally
re-entered the U.S. after

A
nniversaries are a time to
look back, to celebrate
milestones and achievements;
it is also a time to remember
the misfortunes and hardships
that some of the members of
our society experienced leading
to the creation of our new
nation and to reflect upon
those events as we reconnect

nifi cant to both our national
and local histories as we celebrate
the 250th anniversary of
the American Revolution and
the signing of the Declaration
of Independence.
As this year comes to a close
a lesser-known local historical
event will be concluding:
the 400th Anniversary of the
settlement of Winnisimmet
(now Chelsea, Revere and Winthrop),
when an adventurous
22-year-old young man from
Devonshire, England, named
Samuel Maverick journeyed
from Weymouth, England, arriving
at Wessagusset (now
Weymouth), Massachusetts, in
1623 to pursue his fortune in
British North America. A short
time after his arrival he decided
to move on from Wessagusset,
traveling to the north
side of the Mystic River at the
junction of Massachusetts Bay
and arriving at an area of land
in 1624 then populated by the
Rumney Marsh Indians, part of
the indigenous people of the
Pawtucket nation, on land that
they called Winnisimmet. Maverick
took possession of the
lands of Winnisimmet from
the Rumney Marsh Indians by
occupation, in keeping with
the adverse land acquisition
provisions of British law, thus
establishing Winnisimmet as
the fourth permanent British
North American settlement
in Massachusetts. Maverick
would quickly develop the
land that he occupied, constructing
a home with a palisade
defensive fortification
enclosure on the Winnisimmet
hillside facing the Mystic
River. Although in early confl
ict with the Rumney Marsh
Indians, Maverick subsequently
established a harmonious
fur trading relationship and
friendship with them. During
a smallpox epidemic outbreak
Maverick ministered to the
medical needs of the Rumney
Marsh Indians and buried 30
of their dead in one day.
In June of 1630, Maverick
would greet the legendary
John Winthrop, the Puritan
leader of the Massachusetts
Bay Company, at his Winnisimmet
home, as Winthrop traveled
from his Salem outpost
to Boston Harbor in search of
a suitable location for the capital
of his Massachusetts Bay
Company settlement, his proverbial
new Jerusalem, which
Winthrop referred to as his
â€œcity upon a hill,â€ a model for
the building of a new Puritan
society in North America. Maverick
would render essential
services to Winthropâ€™s Massachusetts
Bay Company as Winthrop
labored to establish a
home for his Puritan religious
community as well as his British
North American economic
colony. Winthrop would later
establish Boston as the capital
of the Massachusetts Bay
Company in 1634, and he then
quickly annexed all of Winnisimmet,
including the lands
of Rumney Marsh and Pullen
Point as part of the new Puritan
Town of Boston. Maverick
would remain as a resident of
Winnisimmet for a short time
until he deeded his hillside estate
and a portion of his other
Winnisimmet land holdings
to Richard Bellingham in 1635.
By then Maverick had already
moved on from Winnisimmet
to his new home at Noddleâ€™s Island
(now East Boston) in Massachusetts
Bay.
While it is fitting and appropriate
to recognize Maverick
as the fi rst English settler
of our area, 400 years ago
in 1624, it is inappropriate to
condone Maverickâ€™s less then
honorable character, stature
and reputation, since Maverick
shamefully became the fi rst
slave trader in Massachusetts,
committing New Englandâ€™s
original sin. It should be noted
that Maverick was a product
of his seventeenth century
English times that condoned
slavery for both cultural
and economic reasons.
Moreover, slavery was a major
component of British economic
Imperialism that relied
heavily upon slavery for the
establishment of British North
American agricultural plantations,
to acquire resources and
produce agricultural products
for shipment back to England.
The cultivation of agricultural
products required substantial

council in 2022, the ZBA has
heard 108 requests for variances.
Three of those applications
were withdrawn, 10 were
denied and 95 were approved.
â€œThe council complains
about the number of variances,
but we have no room to
complain, weâ€™re the ones who
put them there,â€ he said referring
to the councilâ€™s role in approving
the mayorâ€™s nominations
for the board. â€œWe are
part of the process. Every ZBA
decision is on the council and
the administration; we put
them in those seats.â€
Cogliandro went on to say
that the ZBA has become â€œincredibly
powerful.â€ â€œWhether
itâ€™s to approve a gazebo,
a hundred units in an apartment
building or splitting
a lot in half,â€ he said, â€œit behooves
us to remove that
power from elected offi cials
and put it back in the hands
of the people.â€
Ward 5 Councillor Angela
Guarino-Sawaya was the fi rst
to respond, and she said she
opposed the proposal. Zoning
Board of Appeal members are
paid a $1,000 a year stipend. â€œI
think itâ€™s highly impractical for
individuals to run a campaign
for a position that pays minimal
compensation,â€ she said.
She went on to say that if the
ZBA were elected it might create
the expectation of a more
signifi cant stipend when the
council should be concerned
with funding for the high
school. Guarino-Sawaya also
said the mayor has the opportunity
to appoint whomever
he wants on municipal
boards and commissions as
itâ€™s part of his job.
But Councillor-at-Large Michelle
Kelley said she couldnâ€™t
agree more with Cogliandro.
â€œThis is something that absolutely
needs to be done,â€ said
Kelly, who suggested that the
alternative might be curbing
the authority of the ZBA.
She suggested taking away
the boardâ€™s authority to grant
parking variances.
Kelley said the change
would require a home rule
petition. She took advantage
of the moment to announce
that she was told by City Solicitor
Paul Capizzi that the
home rule petition she proposed
to rein in the state
mandate allowing the development
of accessory dwelling
units by right wherever
single-family homes are allowed
cannot move forward.
â€œWe seem to be accepting everything
the state is mandating
on us. These are unfunded
mandates and something
needs to be done about it,â€
said Kelley.
Cogliandro interjected that
a home rule petition needs
approval of the council, mayor,
both houses of the state
legislature and fi nally, the governor.
He acknowledged it
would have a lot of steps but
isnâ€™t impossible.
City Council candidate and
local activist Anthony Parziale
threw his support behind
Cogliandroâ€™s proposal during
the public comment segment
of the City Council meeting.
â€œAnything that will give
the people more say in what
happens in their neighborhood,
I am for,â€ Parziale told
the council.
â€œI cannot see any reason
why we wouldnâ€™t allow people
to decide what their neighborhood
looks like,â€ he said.
Parziale said a ZBA appointed
by the mayor and approved
by the council left residents
without choice. â€œThese people
decide what our neighborhoods
will look like,â€ said
Parziale. â€œI donâ€™t think itâ€™s fair
that one group of unelected
people get the power to reshape
our city.â€
But not everyone came
down on one side or the other.
Councillor-at-Large Anthony
Zambuto said he sees the
merit of both sides of the argument.
â€œIâ€™m going to decide
how to vote when it gets to
me,â€ said Zambuto.
City Council President Marc
Silvestri also said he agreed
with both sides, but added
that he has concerns about
asking those interested on
serving on the board to get
into a race that requires significant
time, energy and funding.
He also expressed concerns
about the legal costs of
submitting a home rule petition.
Silvestri
also said picking
who serves on diff erent
boards is a bonus that comes
with being elected mayor.
â€œTaking that away waters
down government,â€ he said.
The motion for an elected
ZBA was referred to the councilâ€™s
Legislative Affairs Subcommittee
for further review.

feudal forced labor by both
indentured servants as well
as Negro slaves to become a
successful economic venture.
In 1645, John Winthrop, who
had served as Governor of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony on
six diff erent occasions, wrote
about British North American
economic expansion, stating:
â€œI do not see how we can thrive
until we get...a fl ock of slaves
suffi cient to do all of our business...and
it will be cheaper to
maintain twenty Negro slaves
cheaper than one English servant.â€
A number of those very
slaves now rest in our Rumney
Marsh burial ground located
on Butler Street.
Slavery in Massachusetts
would last for 159 years. It was
not until the Massachusetts
Constitution of 1780, and its
subsequent judicial interpretation
in 1783, that there was
an end to slavery in Massachusetts.
On
March 27 & 28, 1775,
members of our townâ€™s militia
joined together with 1,000
militia men from all of the
then New England colonies
and tenaciously confronted
400 British Royal Marines, with
their fl eet of three naval vessels,
assault barges and fi eld
artillery, encountering British
troops beginning at the
inner islands of Boston Harbor
and ending in the marshlands
and mudfl ats of Chelsea
Creek near Sladeâ€™s Mill, resulting
in the capture and sinking
of the British Royal Navy
schooner Diana. The Battle of
Chelsea Creek, although mostly
forgotten to history, was
notable since it was the fi rst
planned off ensive battle of the
Revolutionary War; the fi rst instance
of military cooperation
by the New England colonies,
battling the Redcoats; the fi rst
naval engagement of the Revolutionary
War; the fi rst capture
of a British vessel of war;
and the fi rst time that artillery
was used by the colonial militia
against the British. While
the colonial losses were minimal,
the Redcoats lost 64 of
their elite troops.
On April 19, 2025, our nation
will commemorate the 250th
anniversary of the â€œShot heard
round the worldâ€ on April 19,
1775, when we celebrate the
confrontation of Massachusetts
colonists and British Redcoats
at Lexington and Concord,
marking an important
battle of our war for Independence
from Great Britain and
another transition from a war
of words to one of bullets.
Although little known by
many of our current Revere
citizens, a number of the then
residents of our early town
played an important role in
this confrontation for independence
from Great Britain,
when the pastor of The Church
of Christ at Chelsea (now Revere),
Reverend Phillips Payson,
lead a party of men from
his church congregation halting
the retreating British Redcoats,
after the confrontation
at Lexington and Concord, engaging
the Redcoats at Menotomy
(now Arlington) in an
intense rear action confrontation,
when the men of the
church congregation killed a
number of the Redcoats and
took several of the enemy as
prisoners. By their courageous
action the men from our town
enshrined themselves in the
history of our nation by their
heroic participation in this important
confrontation of the
American Revolution for Independence
from Great Britain.
Also, for his heroic leadership
of the men from his church
congregation, Pastor Phillips
Payson would become forever
known as â€œFighting Pastor
Payson.â€ Payson would go on
to participate, with John Adams
as a contributor, in the
writing of the Massachusetts
Constitution and as a founding
member of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences,
along with John Hancock,
Robert Treat Paine and John
and Samuel Adams.
Twenty days later, on June
17, 1775, the colonists once
again battled the British Redcoats
at the bloody battle of
Bunker Hill. The battle, which
actually occurred at Breedâ€™s
Hill, only lasted two hours;
however, the losses were signifi
cant, resulting in 1,054 British
casualties and 450 colonial
losses, demonstrating the
fi ghting ability of the colonial
forces to eff ectively do battle
against the British Redcoats.
Over one year later, on July
4, 1776, the Second Continental
Congress of the 13 American
Colonies, meeting at Philadelphia,
sent a bold message
to the King and Parliament
of Great Britain by proclaiming
the American Declaration
of Independence from
Great Britain.
Recognition of our past, acknowledging
historical events
and experiences of a bygone
era, including both positive
and negative aspects, allows
us to gain important insights
and lessons learned as we
strive to shape a better future.
We canâ€™t change history but
we certainly can learn from it.
As William Shakespeare wrote
in his play â€œThe Tempestâ€, â€œThe
past is prologue.â€
John J. Henry served as Revere
City Clerk for 32 years from
1977-2009. Over the years he
has written numerous articles
about the early history of Revere.

By Th e Advocate
W
REVERE CIT Y COUNCIL ROUNDUP
Jaimie Jimenez appointed to
ard 1 Councillor Joanne
McKenna graciously
asked that the entire City
Council be included as sponsors
of a motion she originally
filed with Councillorat-Large
Juan Pablo Jaramillo
and which is likely to be
one of the most popular City
Council decisions this year.
The City Council called on the
City of Revere to issue paper
visitor parking placards to seniors
who often have several
well care visits each day from
both family and health care
workers.
According to McKenna,
since the Parking Department
went digital several weeks
ago, seniors have been calling
in frustration because they
couldnâ€™t access visitor passes.
McKenna and other councillors
heard complaints from
seniors throughout the city.
McKenna reached out to the
Mayorâ€™s Offi ce and explained
the problem. And while there
needs to be some tweaking to
the cityâ€™s parking system, paper
visitor passes for seniors
65 and older are in the works.
McKenna said they will probably
be available in May. â€œHang
in there, seniors, be patient,
they are coming.â€
Ward 5 Councillor Angela
Guarino-Sawaya said many
seniors do not have access to
computers and smart phones.
â€œThe constant struggle to update
digital visitor passes are a
burden when the focus of the
visit should be patient care.â€
â€œThis is a nice motion that
shows we stick up for the seniors,â€
added Councillor-atLarge
Robert Haas.
Congrats to all
The City Council approved
the appointments of the following
people selected for
seats on boards and commissions

Suffolk Downs to host
annual Daffodil Dash
Kids Fun Run will kick off Boston Marathon weekend
4th
L
ooking for a family friendly
way to kick-off the Boston
Marathon weekend? On
Saturday, April 19, The HYM
Investment Group LLC (HYM),
will host the fourth annual
Marathon Daff odil Dash from
10 a.m.-1 p.m. at The Track at
Suff olk Downs, in partnership
with the Revere Parks and Recreation
Department and the
Marathon Daffodil Project.
The Marathon Daff odil Project
began after the Boston Marathon
bombings in 2013 with
the yellow daff odil used as a
symbol of strength and hope.
In commemoration of the
12th
anniversary of the Boston
Marathon Bombings, The
Track at Suff olk Downs will be
fi lled with the â€œMarathon Daffodilsâ€
that line the streets of
Boston leading up to the Boston
Marathon fi nish line.
The event will feature three
50-yard dash races: for grades
K-2, grades 3-5 and grades 6-8.
The races will kick off at 10:30
a.m. Following the races, all
participants and families are
encouraged to hang out in
The Paddock and enjoy snacks
from local vendors, face painting,
fl ower crowns and music
by a local DJ.
â€œWe are excited to again
partner with the Marathon
Daffodil Project and Revere
Parks and Recreation for the
fourth year of Daff odil Dash
at Suff olk Downs,â€ said HYM
Managing Partner/CEO Thomas
N. Oâ€™Brien. â€œSuff olk Downs
is a family-friendly community,
welcoming to our neighbors
in East Boston and Revere
and all residents of Greater
Boston. The Boston Marathon
is a special day for the
Commonwealth, and we look
forward celebrating it at The
Track at Suff olk Downs each
year.â€
â€œThe activation of the Track
gives us a taste of whatâ€™s to
come from the vibrant, bustling
Suffolk Downs neighborhood
and green spaces of
the future,â€ said Revere Mayor
Patrick M. Keefe Jr. â€œThe
Daff odil Dash symbolizes yet
another successful partnership
between the City of Revere
and Suff olk Downs, and
I am happy to see so many
children and families enjoying
the space.â€
The Daff odil Dash is free to
attend and open to the public,
but registration is required to
participate in the race events.
The Track at Suff olk Downs is
located at 525 McClellan Hwy.
in Boston. Parking is free and
available on-site. The Track is
also accessible from the MBTAâ€™s
Suff olk Downs Station on
the Blue Line.
On the same day, HYM and
the City of Revere will also
host the fi rst Spring Pop-up
Market at The Yard @ Beachmont
Square, in collaboration
with the Revere Beach Farmerâ€™s
Market. It will be the fi rst
of three Spring Pop-Up Markets,
the others to be held on
May 17 and June 21. Each market
will feature farmers and
fresh produce vendors, local
vendors, food trucks and giveaways
for customers to enjoy.
Each market will be from 11
a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Yard (10
Suff olk Downs Blvd., Revere),
which is located just steps
away from Amaya and the MBTAâ€™s
Beachmont Station on the

public hearing on Reverebased

request for a special permit
to raze the existing nonconforming
structure at 114 Shirley
Ave. to construct a fi ve-story
building with 48 residential

and the plan. Harkins
said the community met with
Trichilo Development and all
were convinced the company
wants to build something
that would be integrated into
the neighborhood rather than
a building that simply generates
rent. Harkins also said the
project would help the Shirley
Ave. neighborhood become
recognized as an arts
district and would help Revere
with an arts and cultural
designation.
Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky
said the project was
in character and similar to
other developments taking
place on Shirley Ave. Novoselsky
said there was a community
meeting about the project
and there was no signifi -
cant opposition, only the concern
of one neighbor who felt
the light to his home would be
blocked by the new building.
â€œLetâ€™s see what happens
at the Zoning Subcommittee
Meeting when we open
this up a little more,â€ said Novoselsky.
Councillor-at-Large
Robert
Haas said his only concern is
that there are no aff ordable
units or units reserved for seniors
as part of the plan. â€œI
would love to see something
aff ordable â€” just a couple of
units,â€ said Haas.
The project was referred
to the City Councilâ€™s Zoning
Subcommittee for additional
review.
