All of the members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto ann.exed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: that he desired to erect a gasoline station at the northwe.st corner of Marrett Road and Waltham Street, toether with a building thirty-two (32) by twenty-four (245 feet; an enclosed lubricatorium, and three gasoline pumps; (the plans showing this layout were not presented at the hearing); that there are no gasoline stations on the right hand side of Route ##128 from the Woburn Line to this point. Evidence was offered on behalf of citizens opposing the granting of the said petition tending to show that another gasoline station ih addition to the two already on other corners of Marrett Road and Waltham Street would tend to depreciate the value of the residential property in the neighborhood.
