BOARD (F APPEALS 11EETING ISeptember 11, 1936 A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the Selectmen's xoom, Town Office Building, at 7;30 P. P+. Messrs. Glynn, Kimball, Robbins and Steeves were present. The Secretary was also present. It was unanimously voted to elect 11r. Glynn Chairman Pro -tem. At 8;00 o'clock P. M. hearing was declared open on the ap-olication of Jesse E. Condinho for permission to maintain a roadside stand for the sale of produce grown on the property at 610 VIaltham Street. The notice of the hearing was read by the Clerk. Jesse E. Condinho appeared in favor of the petition, together with his brother-in-law, and Miss Annie T. Carroll, of 676 Waltham Street. Mr. Condinho stated that he had about two hundred apple trees and one acre of land that was planted with veg- etables. He said that in the past he has lost money because he has been unable to sell his apples and vegetables. ne felt that if he could sell from a roadside stand that he might make some money, or make at least enough to pay his taxes. The Chairman pro -tem asked what kind of a stand he intended to erect, and he replied that it would not be larger than 12 x 12, and would probably be 8 x 12. It would have windows in the front and two sides, and a door in front. It would have a canopy in front, and would be made of novelty siding. the Chairman -pro -tem asked Mr. Condinho if he had made any provision for taking the traffic off of the main road. He replied that the stand could be set back thirty or forty feet from the street, and that he was building a large semi -circular driveway. He thought that when the drive was done that he could accomodate thirty or forty cars. the Chairman pro -tem asked Condinho what he intended to do about signs, and he said that he had not thought about them. He then asked if the building would be painted. Con- dinho replied that it would be, that in other years they had not bothered with a stand because they could not affbd to put up a good stand, but that he was now able to nut up a decent, neat stand, and that he planned to plant flowers and shrubs. He said that he was filling in the low place on his property with rocks, to take care of the drainage, ' and planned to put crushed stone on top of the drive so that there would not be much dust.
