BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING <br />November 6, 1931. <br />The Board of Appeals held a meeting in the <br />Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, at_8 o►clock <br />P.M. Messrs. Maddison, Baldrey, Glynn and Custance were <br />present. Miss Elinor Moakley was also present. <br />Hearing was declared open upon the application of John <br />Lamont for permission to serve meals to the public at the <br />Mohawk Country Club on the premises at Cary Avenue, Lexington. <br />The Clerk read the notice of the hearing. <br />Mr. Lamont explained that this club house has been run <br />for sometime, and they have tried to keep within they <br />limits <br />of the Zoning Law. They have not done any advertising, but <br />they have run parties and served meals to them, and this has <br />always been an orderly place. He stated that he did not be- <br />lieve there was any other use that the Zoning Law would allow <br />that would support the building. He stated that he was making <br />this appeal so he could sell food at this place legally. <br />He explained that he desired to serve meals afternoons and <br />evenings to the public. He stated that as long as the <br />building was in his hands, it would be kept in an orderly <br />condition, and he felt that if the'Board granted the permit, <br />it would be an advantage to the -neighborhood. <br />Mr. Maddison asked Mr. Lamont what connections he now <br />had with the Mohawk Club; and Mr. Lamont stated that the <br />Club had passed title to him, and that the building was <br />entirely in his hands, and he desired to run it as the <br />Mohawk Country Club. <br />He stated that at some future date he hoped to put in <br />a golf course. <br />Mr. Maddison asked if this was an accessory use.to the <br />club. <br />Mr. Lamont stated that he granted -the Mohawk Club the <br />use of one room for themselves and the use of the building <br />any time they cared to use it. They could not run it as a <br />club, because there was no money coming in,, and Mr. Lamont <br />took it over. He hoped that at some future time they <br />could reorganize the Mohawk Club, and have it carried on as <br />before. <br />Mr. Maddison felt that if it was not an accessory use <br />to the Club, it was a restaurant. <br />Mr.Lamont did not feel that it should be called a <br />restaurant, but -rely a place for parties or persons to <br />have their meals if they desired. <br />Mr. Maddison asked Mr. Lamont if there was any <br />specified time for this use of the building, and Mr. <br />Lamont replied that he understood from the Chairman of the <br />Board of Selectmen that the permit was issued from yeat to <br />year. <br />1 <br />
