140 <br />A meeting of <br />men's Room, Town <br />Maddison, Messrs <br />Member William H <br />also present. <br />BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING <br />May 6, 1938 <br />the Board of Appeals was held in the Select - <br />Office Building, at 8:00 P. M. Chairman <br />. Ferguson, Glynn, Kimball, and Associate <br />. Driscoll were present. The Secretary was <br />In the absence of Mr. Robbins, Mr. Kimball was elected <br />Clerk Pro -tem. <br />At 8:00 P. M. hearing was declared open upon application <br />of the Lexington Trust Company for permission to erect and <br />maintain a "For Sale" sign 4' x 6' in size, advertising the <br />property at.3 Eliot Road, Lexington. <br />The notice of the hearing was read by Clerk Pro -tem Kimball. <br />Mr. Clarence S. Walker, representing the Lexington Trust <br />Company, appeared in favor of the granting of the petition. <br />He stated that the Trust Company was desirous of selling the <br />property at the corner of Eliot and Pelham. Roads. At the <br />present time, they have a small "For Sale" sign on Mass. Ave. <br />at Pelham Road, 2' x 3'. It does not properly describe the <br />property, and might be construed to refer to the lot on which <br />it stands. The bank would like to erect a larger sign set <br />back twenty-five or fifty feet. They have not made any <br />definite decision as to what the dimensions of the sign would <br />be. It would read "For Sale", and would describe the property <br />as been a thirteen room house and containing 110,000 feet of <br />land. It would be a good looking sign. <br />The Chairman asked Mr. Walker why he thought the Board of <br />Appeals had any authority to grant permission to erect and <br />maintain such a sign. He said that the Zoning Law permitted <br />real estate signs on property on which the sign was to be lo- <br />cated. Mr. W,Wtalker said that he wished to alter that. The <br />Chairman replied that the Board could not alter the Zoning <br />Law. Mr. Walker stated that he had been mis-informed, then. <br />He said he was told by one of the Selectmen that the bank could <br />erect a larger sign by permit from the Board of Appeals. The <br />Chairman said that a larger sign could be erected on a sub- <br />division, but that this was not a sub -division. There is one <br />lot, with one house. <br />The Building Inspector was present at the hearing. He <br />remarked that perhaps the bank would be willing to split up <br />the land. Mr. 11ker said that if someone wanted to buy the <br />house alone, then of course they would sell it. There are <br />three tracts of land, acquired at three different times. There <br />are three separate parcels and three separate deeds. <br />1 <br />
