Second, the Board moved to rescind a 2001 variance condition at 134-136 Wyoming Ave. This removal is intended to facilitate the sale of the property. The Board noted that such conditions typically apply to the land itself, not the specific owner.

Longer-form draft.
At the July 14 Board of Appeal meeting, two specific petitions were decided that impact local property standards and land use in Malden. First, the Board addressed a request from FW Web Company regarding a sign variance at 869 Eastern Ave. While standard signage is typically limited to 40 square feet, the applicant presented options to ensure the sign remained readable. Following the discussion, the Board voted unanimously to approve 'Option C,' allowing for a 60-square-foot wall sign. Second, the Board voted unanimously to rescind a condition attached to a 2001 variance for the property at 134-136 Wyoming Ave. This condition had been preventing the sale of the property. During the discussion, the Board noted that variances generally 'run with the land' rather than the owner, suggesting the existing condition may have been legally invalid. We will continue to track these decisions to ensure local zoning is applied consistently and transparently. https://meetingwatch.org/ma/malden/board-of-appeal/2026-07-14/ #MeetingWatch #MaldenMA
