110 application of Mr. Bean for gasoline tanks. The hearing closed at 8:55 P.M. After considering the facts presented at the hearing, the Board in private session passed the following order: The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chap- ter 40, sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by George William Bean for a permit to sell gasoline a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list, and also avertised in the Lexington Times - Minute Man, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room in the Town Office Building on Friday the 8th day of May, 1931 at 8 o'clock P.M. A majority of the members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. It developed at the hearing that the petitioner erron- eously stated that he desired a permit for 241 Bedford St. which is in an R. 1 district, whereas he shouldhave petitioned for a gasoline permit on the adjoining lot which is now in a C. 1 district. After hearing the evidence offered by the petitioners and such other evidence as was offered, the Board in private session gave consideration to the subject of the petition and a majority of the Board voted that in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will not be substantially served by the use of the premises described in the petition and that such use may tend to impair .the status of the neighborhood, and this decision is based upon the intended location in the C. 1 district. The Board therefore determines that the application of Section 6 (c) in C. 1 districtw of the Lexington Loning By-law does not permit the use of the premises described in the petition and as corrected at the hearing and instructs the Inspector of Buildings not to grant a permit therefor.
