ZBA Rescinds Fines, Allows Shed Withdrawal

Zoning Board of Appeals · Meeting of May 27, 2026

NAHANT — The Nahant Zoning Board of Appeals voted to let a Bass Point Road owner withdraw a shed petition and erased his fines. Chair Jocelyn J. Campbell led the remote session, where members David Walsh, Cameron Merrill, Gerardo Raffaele and alternates Scott Ofrias and Ian Brown took part. The board voted 5-0 to allow Mr. Cleary to withdraw his petition "without prejudice," requiring the shed's removal by December 27, 2026, and voted 5-0 again to rescind his outstanding fines, though Campbell said "I'm not really sure that we have the power to do that." Separately, the board voted 4-0 to continue a 10 Fallon Way foundation-rebuild hearing to June 24 after new site engineering drawings arrived incomplete just before the meeting.
