10 � After discussing the matter in private session, it was voted that a permit be granted to Robbins and Smith for a period of two years for the continuance of the sign ' in question subject to its being reworded so that it will advertise only the sub -division upon which it is located and that it be not allowed to fall into disrepair, all of the members of the Board voting in favor of the permit in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Robbins & Smith a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list and also advertised in the Lexington Minute Man a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Toren. Office Building on the 2nd day of March, 1934. All of the members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: that they had maintained a sign on their premises on Massachusetts Avenue, 981 to 1003, advertising their development on Locust Avenue, for which permit had never been granted, and they desired to continue , the maintenance of this sign in order to advertise their development. No one appeared in opposition. At the close of the hearing the Board in private session gave consideration to the subject of the petition and voted unanimously in favor of the following findings: 1. That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served by the making of the exception requested. 2. That the exception requested will not tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. 3. That the exception requested will be in harmony, with the general purposes and intent of the regulations in the Lexington Zoning By-law. 4. That owing to conditions especially affecting the said parcel, but not affecting generally the zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Lexington Zoning By-law as to the locus ' in question would involve substantial hardship to the petitioner and that desirable relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law.
