That in its judgment the public convenience and <br />welfare will be substantially serted by the making of the <br />exception requested. <br />2. That the excertion requested will not tend to <br />impair the status of the neighborhood. <br />3. That the exception requested will be in harmony <br />with the general purposes and intent of the regulations <br />in the Lexington Zoning By-law. <br />4. That owing to conditions a -specially affecting the <br />said parcel but not affecting generally the zoning district <br />in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the prov- <br />isions of the Lexington Zoning By-law as to the locus`in-, <br />question would involve substantial hardship to the <br />petitioner and that desirable relief may be granted without <br />substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of <br />such Lexington Zoning By-law. <br />"C7 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
