1 1 125 No one else appeared in favor or in opposition and the hearing was declared closed at 9:27 P. M. At 9:30 P. M., hearing was declared open on the application of the Colonial Garage, Inc. to permit the storage and sale of gasoline at 1686 Mass. Avenue. Mr. & Mrs. George Morse, Mr. Nils Nilson, Eugene Viano and Roger Greeley were present at the hearing. The notice of the hearing was read by the Clerk. Mr. Viano said that they wished to relocate their facilities for the storage and sale of gasoline. At the present time they have a permit for the sale ofgasoline at 1668 Mass. Avenue, providing for 4,000 gallon storage, and he said that this was inadequate today. They need additional storage space. This proposed new location is on the present property and part of the old Valentine property. The corner of the Valentine property would be used for drive in purposes. He felt that. they would have to make a change in the near future and they wanted to be prepared to go ahead. If the Vine Brook Drainage project went ahead, they would have to make a change but they needed additional space anyway. Mr. Viano said that they were practi- cally compelled to purchase gasoline in 3000 gallon lots and they wanted to have plenty of room so that these large trucks could turn around. The Chairman asked if the tanks would be on the old Valen- tine property and Viano replied in the affirmative and said that the pumps would be located on the so-called Leavitt lot. They have proposed plans to include a lubritorium sometime in the future. At the present time they have three islands with three dual pumps.. Mr. Viano said that the Board could be assured that they did not intend to use the Valentine property for a filling station. They merely wanted to place their tanks on that property. Mr. Viano said that he might or might nctmove his present equipment. Mr. Glynn asked how he thought the drainage problem would affect him. Mr. Viano said he did not know, but the Committee has made a recommendation as to what they feel the requirements for land takings are and if those recommendations are followed, it will take the land on the eastern side of the building to the brook completely. No one appeared in favor or in opposition and the hearing was declared closed at 10:45 P. M. The petition of the Colonial Garage was considered, and it was the opinion of the Members of the Board that so long as the number of pumps was not increased there would be no objection to granting the permit, with certain conditons, and upon motion of Mr. Kimball, seconded by Mr. Glynn, it was voted to grant the following permit to the Colonial Garage, Inc. for the storage and sale of gasoline at 1686 Mass. Avenue, as follows:
