150 <br />The subject of the petition of the Lexington 'frust <br />Co. for a permit to erect a "For Sale" sign 4' x 61 in <br />size advertising the property located at 3 Eliot Road and <br />on Pelham Road and Mass. Ave. was considered, and inasmuch <br />as the house was located so far away from Mass. Ave., it <br />was difficult for them to properly describe what was for <br />sale on a sign not over six square feet in size, it was <br />unanimously voted to grant the petition in the following <br />form (Mr. Robbins wishing to be recorded in favor) : <br />BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT <br />The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, <br />Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition <br />addressed to it by the Lexington Trust Company, a copy <br />of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon <br />of which notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the <br />owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected <br />thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list <br />and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -Man, a news- <br />paper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in <br />the Selectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on the <br />6th day of May, 1938. <br />One Associate and four members of the Board of <br />Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of <br />notice is hereto annexed. At this hearing evidence was <br />offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: <br />That they had maintained a "For Sale" sign 2' x 3' near <br />Massachusetts Avenue; that there were three separate <br />parcels of land and in order to properly describe the <br />premises including the house, they desired a larger sign. <br />One letter was received stating that the owner of property <br />in the neighborhood did not object to the granting of the <br />permit. <br />No one appeared in opposition. <br />The Board in private session on May 13, 1938 gave <br />consideration to the subject of the petition and voted <br />unanimously in favor of the following findings: <br />1. That in its judgment the public convenience and <br />welfare will be substantially served by the making of <br />the exception requested. <br />2. That the exception requested will not tend to <br />impair the status of the neighborhood. <br />3. That the exception requested will be in harmony <br />with the general purposes and intent of the regulations in <br />the Lexington Zoning By-law: <br />10.2.4 <br />1 <br />
