1 <br />and P'r. Bignotti. <br />+� <br />Mr. Bignotti called attention to the fact that the <br />non -conforming use of these premises was at #542. He stated <br />C17 <br />that he was objecting for the taxpayers and for familes <br />that did not want to see the Zorf ng Law changed. He called <br />attention to the fact that the Town has now to provide an <br />' <br />officer at the crossing of Oak Street for the children and <br />if there was a filling station there, they would have to <br />have an officer all the time ina-much as there would be more <br />congestion. He believed that the purpose of the Zontng Law <br />was to protect; the neighbors in just such cases of this kind. <br />He stated that when he purchased his place the sign that <br />was there was "Ye Old Blacksmith Shop" and he did not believe <br />you could say the repair of automobiles was similar to a <br />blacksmith shop. He stated that he was on the Zoning Board <br />in the city of Somerville and he had seen many of these things <br />done, and that a beautiful picture was painted but as soon <br />as the permit is given things are different. He would not <br />like to sit outside his house and get the smell of the <br />gasoline fumes day and night. He felt that the present <br />building becomes a public garage as soon as three cars are <br />stored there and that there are certain restrictions laid down <br />by the State Fire Marshall for fire protection. He felt <br />that this property in its present condition was a fire hazardp <br />Mr. Francis Chamberlaid stated that he was also opposed <br />to the erection of a filling station, although he was not <br />an abuttor. <br />Mr. Stanbridge of 564 Mass. Avenue stated that he <br />lived directly in sight of the property and he would not <br />like to see the hazards increased at this location. <br />Mr. Northrup desired to summarize all the objections <br />' <br />and to his point of view, he felt that Mr. Joyts property was <br />around the corner and out of sight of theproperty in question; <br />Mr. Carrigan lived in the property next to the Cummings property <br />which was dome distance away; Mr. Chamberlain watt speaking <br />for someone else as he did not live in the immediate vicinity. <br />He therefore felt that there was a small amount of <br />objection. <br />Those present and recording themselves against the <br />Petition were Mr. George Mielick, Mr. Cummings, Mrs. Healey, <br />,r. Clare, D. L. Cronin, Mr. Dolan and Mr. Coyne, Mr. <br />Peavy and Mr. Bignotti. <br />The hearing was declared closed at 9.15 P.M. <br />A true record, Attest • <br />Clerk. <br />1 <br />
