123 At 8:25 P.I. hearing was declared open on the application of Frank Dias of Concord Avenue for' permission to erect and maintain a roadside stand on Dias the property of Isabella Fardy on Waltham Street. hearing. Mr. Dias pointed ouJeOn the plan where he intended to put the stand. ir. Silva, his brother-in-law, spoke for him and stated that Ir. Dias' property was on Concord Avenue adjacent to where the garage is located and adjacent to the property of Mrs. Isabella Fardy, The location for the stand which they request is to be about 174 feet from Concord Avenue and would not be in the business zone. Mr. Dias stated that Mrs. Fardy's house was located 100 feet from the corner. They want to erect a shelbr about 14 feet long and 12 feet wide to be set about 20 to 25 feet from the street and they probably would have shutters on the front of the building. He stated that there was now a dirveway there and people could drive in off the road. The land slopes away from where the stand is intended to be placed. The driveway there is located just as you go into Mrs. Fardy's house. The Fardy land goes back from Waltham Street about 300 feet and his land is beyond that. Mr. Dailey, who owns the so-called roster place at the corner of 8oncord Avenue and Waltham Street diagonally opposite the garage, objected. He felt that the distance between the garage and house as given was not correct. Also that th`..s is one of the most dangerous corners where there have been several accidents and there was not any demand for a roadside stand. He felt that in giving this privilege it was commercializing the property located :.n a residence district. Directly opposite his house there is a clam house and within 100 yards there is a roadside stand operated by Ir. Ricci, and he judged that where they intended to place this stand was at the brow of the hill. He stated that he had no feeling whatever against Mr. Dias, but he felt that he had rights. He could not rent h`s house on account of the conditions at the corner with the garage diagonally opposite his house and the cross roads and -it made a very dangerous situation. He felt that if this permit were allowed it would only be an opening for other permits to be allowed. He felt that the cars coming out of the garage make a dangerous condition at this cross road and then with this fruit stand allowed it would add to the danger of traffic congestion on that street. He suggested that Mr. Dias sell his products -on Concord Avenue on his own lanci. Mr. Dailey stated that the house which he owns is located in the business district and was built there about nineteen years ago and is located about 200 feet from the garage. Mr. Dias stated that he knew that the measurements at that corner were right inasmuch as he went with the Building Inspector and they made the measurements. He also inquired of Ir. Dailey how long Ir. Maguire had lived in his house anci Mr. Dailey replied he had just moved out. He also inquired how long he lived there and Ir. Dailey stated ':he lived there two and one half years. Mr. Dias stated that !,Ir. Lawrence had been in business opposite Mr. Dailey's house only one year.
