Ryder, a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public, hearing; thereon of which notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property deemed by the ' Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -Tuan, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Town office Building on the 14th day of January, 1938. Three members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto afinexed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tend - in to show: That Charles , N. Ryder rents the house at 24 :Maple Street and would like to have a permit to rent horses for riding pur- poses; that there had always been horses kept in the barn on the premises; and that the horses would be ridden almost en- tirely on the premises, through the several roads in back of the buildings, the property consisting; of approximately 150 acres; that T: r. Barker is the tenant and would run the school; that not more than seven or eight horses at the most would be kept on the premises; that there is ample parking space on the premises so that cars would not be parked on the street. Three of the neighbors appeared in opposition, one fearing that the proposed occupancy would create a change in the district. They did not oppose the riding school as such, but feared some- thing similar to the pony riding school on 'Joburn Street would ' develop, and this would be objectionable and a detriment to property in the vicinity.
