1 1 1 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 Jenney Manufacturing Company, 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 Selectments Room, in the Town Office Building, on the 25th day of March, 1938. One Associate member and four members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed. The hearing was adjourned to April 15, 1938 to permit the petitioner to present plans. At the adjourned hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That they now had a lubritorium in connection with their gasoline station at 319 Marrett Road at the corner of Waltham Street; that they desired to have an enclosed lubritorium and presented plans showing an addition to the present gasoline station with certain alterations in the old building to conform to the addition. No one appeared in opposition. 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 By-law is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to permit the Jenney Manufacturing Company to construct and maintain an addition to its present gasoline station at 319 Marrett Road at the corner 133
