126 BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Section 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by the Colonial Garage, Inc., 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 -Man, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on the 15th day of April, 1938. All of the members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed.. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That the ownership of the Valentine property was now the same as the ownership of the Colonial Garage, and that they desired to place two new 2,Q00 gallon tanks in the Mass. Ave. corner of the Valentine property near the old garage lot, and install two dual pumps between Mass. Ave. and the present entrance to the lubritorium, all as shown on blue print of plan dated February 24, 1938, marked "Proposed Yard Layout, Colonial Garage." At the close of the hearing the Board in private session on April 15, 1938 gave consideration to the subject of the petition and voted unanimously in favor of the following findings: 1. That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served by the making of the exception requested. 2. That the exception requested will not tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. 3. That the exception requested will be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the regulations in the Lex- ington Zoning By-law. 4. That owing to conditions especially affecting the said parcel but not affecting generally the Zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Lexington Zoning By-law as to the locus in question would involve substantial hardship to the petitioner and that desirable relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unanimously decides that the application of the said Lexington Zoning Bylaw is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to permit the Col- onial Garage, Inc. to install two new 2,000 gallon tanks and the two dual pumps as shown on the blue print above referred to, subject to the following conditions: 1. That two of the dual pumps now in use shall be removed at the time of installation of pumps at the new location; CYD 0.4 1 1 1
