252 BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING January 6, 1937. A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the Select- men's Room, Town Office Building, Lexington,,at 7:30 P. M. Chairman Maddison and Messrs. Ferguson, Robbins and Glynn were present. The Secretary was also present. The meeting was called to discuss the petition of Calvin W. Childs for permission to erect a gasoline filling station at the junction of Watertown Street and the Concord Turnpike. The Chairman read a statement which he had received from Mr. John H. Devine, Attorney, stating that he was authorized to say that Mr. Childs was willing to forego the use of the land other than that upon which the filling station wax to be located for any use other than those allowed under R.1 Dis- tricts, upon the provision that he would be allowed to main- tain an automobile show room so long as any portion of the land is used for filling station. The Chairman stated that he had showed the letter to Mr. Lyons, who said that he would be willing to approve the granting of the permit upon those conditions if the rest of the Board.was so disposed. The Board felt that if the agreement was accepted and the permit granted, it should be granted subject to certain restrictions, such as the set -back of pumps, length of time the permit was to run, etc. It was the sense of the meeting that if Mr. Childs would sign an agreement to be drawn up by the. Town Counsel which was substantially as stated in Mr, Devine's letter, and would agree to such restrictions as the Board wished to impose, the permit should be granted. The Chairman stated that he would request the Town Counsel to draw up such agreement and send it to Mr. Childs. The meeting adjourned at 8:30 o'clock P. M. A true record, Attest:
