1 1 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 in- volve 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 Girl Scouts of Lexington to occupy the premises at 2 Lincoln Street, Lexington, for the maintenance of a Girl Scout House subject to the following conditions: 1. This permit shall expire one year from the date hereof; 2. That no drum, bugle or other band instruments shall beplayed on the premises. 3. That all activities of the occupants of the premises shall be under careful supervision at all times and no trespassing shall be permitted on adjoining properties; and that activities carried on shall not be such as are generally considered objectionable in a residential neighborhood; 4. No signs shall be permitted on the outside of the premises so that they may be seen from the street or surrounding property. The Board hereby makes a detailed record of all its proceedings relative to such petition and hereby sets forth that the reasons for its decision are its findings hereinbefore set forth and the testimony presented at the said hearing, including that herein summarized, and directs that this record immediately following this decision shall be filed in the office of the Town Clerk of Lexington and shall be open to public inspection and that notice of this decision shall be mailed forthwith to each party in in- terest. 137
