176 <br />►b <br />BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING ' <br />May 22, 1936. <br />A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the <br />Selectments Room, Town Office Building, at 8:00 P. M. <br />Chairman Maddison, Messrs, Glynn, Ferguson, Robbins, and <br />Associate Member Clyde L. Steeves were present. The <br />Secretary was also present. <br />At 8;00 P. M. hearing was declared open on the appli- <br />cation of Howard Munroe for permission to maintain a pony <br />riding school for children and the temporary use of a frame <br />tent on the premises located on ;7oburn Street near Lowell <br />Street. <br />The notice of the hearing was read by the Clerk. <br />Mr. Munroe, the owre r of the property, stated that he <br />leased the property to Raymond J. Barber of Waltham, and <br />that he would like to see the permit granted. He has never <br />heard any complaints on account of the ponies, but on the <br />other hand, has heard many favorable comments. ' <br />The Chairman asked what he meant by a "riding School." <br />Mr. Barber stated that he was running a pony track <br />for children only. He closes every night by 8:30 P. M. <br />when the ponies are put up for the night. He said the ponies <br />caused no noise, odor or disturbance, and he did not see <br />why the school could not be run properly. He teaches local <br />children during the week, but on Sundays he has a lot of <br />children from out of town. Mr. Barber stated that he did <br />hear people complaining of parking in the street, and recently <br />he put up a sign "Please Park in the Parking Space", and <br />everybody seemsto be co-operating. Hid idea was to put <br />up two larger signs "Please Park in the Parking Space and <br />Avoid Paying Fine." He said that his track was in the rear <br />of the gasolene station about one hundred yards from the <br />corner of Lowell Street, with the entrance on Woburn Street'. <br />The Chairman asked Mr. Barber how long <br />he <br />had'been con- <br />ducting the riding school, and he replied that <br />this was his <br />third year. When he first came to town he <br />asked <br />the Police <br />if he needed a permit, and he was told that <br />he <br />did not, as <br />he was operating on private property. He <br />said <br />that he had <br />never had an accident. <br />Mr. Glynn asked him what the tent was <br />for, <br />and he said <br />, <br />that it was for stabling the ponies. It is <br />301 <br />by 201, and <br />is not a permanent structure. <br />
