1 a <br />BOARD OF APPEAL S MEET <br />FEB. 162 1932. <br />A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the <br />Town Office,Building at 7:30 P.M. Messrs.Maddison, Baldrey, <br />(locum and Custance were present. <br />Joint hearing of the Board of Appeals and Board of <br />Selectmen on the application of Frank W. rerkins for <br />permission to install gasoline tanks with a cpabity of <br />2000 gallons at his premises #536-542 Mass. Avenue, Lexington, <br />was declared open. <br />The Chairman read the notice of the Board of Selectmn, <br />and the notice of the Board of Appeals was read by the Clekk. <br />Judge Pierre Y orthr�p represented Mr. Perkins, the <br />applicant. He stated that the petition as originally set <br />forth states that it was brought under section 9 of the <br />Zoning Law, but he wished to call attention to Sgction 8 <br />which refers to accessory use. He called attention to the <br />previous hearings had before the Board of Selectmen and <br />the denial of the former petitions. He called attention <br />to the ruling of the Board of Selectmen in allowing the use <br />of the premises for a repair shop. He went back to 1812 <br />when the Russell family built the premises and used it as <br />a blacksmith shop and general repair of vehicles. He <br />felt that automobiles have now taken the place of other <br />vehicles and that it was proper that this shop should be <br />used now for the repair of automobiles and he felt that <br />business was allowed under the General Laws on these <br />premises under the non -conforming use of Section 10. <br />He stated that the use granted by the Selectmen for this <br />property did not includd a gasoline permit. He stated <br />that Mr. Perkins has been in the repair business for 27 <br />.years and that this was his sole occupation and he was a <br />disabled war veteran. He stated that he has harried <br />on a garage and repair business at the corner of Oak Street, <br />-Lie stated that Mr. Perkins did not want a filling station alone, <br />he merely wanted it in conjunction with the repair business, <br />lie had in mind putting in three pumps. He intended to move <br />his house back and tear down one of the buildings that now <br />stands to the right of the lot. <br />Judge Northrup also called attention to the fact that <br />there was not another place to purchase gasoline on the. <br />right hand side of the street from Viano's down to -the <br />Arlington line, and he felt that there was notbetter place <br />for gasoline on the fight hand side of the street than <br />this location. He felt that persons do not want to cross <br />the street and usually wait until they find a statign on <br />the right hand side. He presented a chart showing the <br />business operated in this sect`on on both sides of the <br />street. On the left hand side he called attention -to the <br />First National Store, then two doors down the Ohemberlabi <br />house which advertises tourists, then across the street <br />there is a large billboard also another tourists place and <br />the Cottage Hospital then there is a residence and Mr. <br />Perkins' premises. Below is the printing shop on the <br />other corner of Oak Street. On the other side there is <br />the Old Paint Shop that was used for business, and then <br />Mr. Cummings at his premises operates a milk business. <br />He felt, therefore, that although this was a residential <br />1 <br />1 <br />
