Pichette <br />& Ahern <br />Applica- <br />tion. <br />BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING <br />APRIL 3, 1931. <br />A meeting of the Board of Appeals wqs held at the <br />Selectments Room, Town Office Building at 7:30 P.M. <br />Messrs. Maddison, Baldrey, Custtance, Glynn and Slocum <br />were present. The Secretary was also present. The <br />Board organized with Arthur N..Maddison as Chairman and <br />Roland W. Baldrey as Clerk. <br />Letter was received from the Town Counsel in which <br />he enclosed new forms of application for the variation <br />of the Zoning By -Law; also new form of notice for ap- <br />plications, calling for the variance of the Zoning Law, <br />and a lengthy letter explaining that in cases similar <br />to the case which the Board now has before it, the appli-. <br />cation from Pichette and Ahern for a garage and filling <br />station, that the unanimous opinion of the Board was <br />not necessary; that the Board may vary the application <br />of the Zoning Law on items stated under exceptions <br />without the unanimous approval of the Board. <br />The Board again considered the application of Pichette <br />& Ahern, and Mr. Baldrey still offered the same objections <br />that he offered at the last meeting. He objected to <br />this project chiefly as a matter of preserving residential <br />real estate values in the neighborhood as a matter of <br />Town Pride. <br />He felt that any permit for any project granted <br />by this Board should be in the nature of a Town better- <br />ment and not an aid in defacing any locality through <br />the appearance or activity of any such project. Other <br />than this, the zoning by-law is nullified, and this sent- <br />iment was shared by the Board. He felt that here was <br />a pure case of the..appelantts wish to erect the cheap- <br />est possible structure without regard to appearance or <br />effect of its activities upon the neighborhood. <br />Mr. C. Edward Glynn offered the following motion: <br />"That the Board of Appeals instruct the Building Ins- <br />pector to grant a permit to Pichette & Ahern to erect <br />a garage and repair shop on the property at #847-855 <br />Mass. Ave. together with one gasoline tank in the <br />capacity of 1000 gallons to be used in conjunction <br />with the repair business and not as a public filling <br />station, and that seed tank be located as near to the <br />main building as the Statutes permit, and provided that <br />they remove the old building, now used as a repair shop, <br />within two years; that the design of the building be <br />submitted to the Board of Appeals for approtal; that <br />the two houses now on the lot be moved prior to the <br />erection of the garage; that the premises shall be kept <br />in neat condition and shall not be used for the display <br />or sale of second hand automobiles." <br />
