BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING C17 MARCH 3, 1933. ' A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building. Messrs. Custance, Glynn, Slocum and Baldrey were present. Miss Elinor Moakley was also present. Mr. Custance acted as Chairman in the absence of Mr. Maddison. Mr. John Lyons, Attorney for Pellegrino Ferri; appeared before the Board in regard to Mr. Ferr•i's petition to remove a garage from its existing location on Winn Street to his land on Albemarle Avenue within 20 feet of the street line. Mr. Lyons stated that he felt the Board might be hesitant to graft the permit in case a question of damages might arise in the Town decided to widen Albemarle Avenue. Therefore he talked with Mr. Wrightington, Town Counsel, and had drawn up a release suitable to the Town Counsel, holding the Town harmless and agreeing to remove the garage at no expense to the Town. This release was to be filed at the Registry of Deeds with the deed of the property and would be binding upon Mr. F'erri's heirs and assigns. Mr. Glynn felt that the release should be made broader as he felt that bhei�e might be several other reasons why the Town might wish to have the garage moved other than widening the street. He felt that a olausee should be added to the ' effect that Mr. Ferri would move the garage without expense to the Town upon the request of the Selectmen. Mr. Custance felt that this might put Mr. Ferri to con- siderable inconvenience, but Mr. Glynn was of the opinion that -Mr. Ferri should be willing to take that chance. Mr. Lyons also stated that Mr. Ferri would be wi.114ig to do whatever the Board desired, only he would not want to have the power abused, but that he would have to take a•change on it. Mr. Baldrey felt that it should be made a non -conforming use so that he could not build another garage there. However, it was felt that he could not do this, as the permit to be granted and the agreement refers only to the existing building to be moved., Mr. myons stated that he would be agreeable to any conditions in the release that the Board required, and as there were no further questions.thb_Board desired to ask him, he retired. The minutes of the meeting of February 17th were read and approved.
