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 pro- visions 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 sub- stantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law.

S. Veteran's Hospital at Bedford with water on the lot on the northerly side of Westview Street, said lot being bounded on the west by the Boston & Maine Railroad, on the following conditions: 1. That the apparatus shall be run in such a manner as not to be noisy or offensive to the neighborhood; 2. That the premises shall be kept in a neat and clean condition at all times; 3; That said building shall be set back at least 20' from the present street line of Westview Street, or if the ld,cation of Westview Street in the vicinity of this lot is relocated by the County Commissioners, then the building shall be set back at least 20' from the line of Westview Street as so relocated. 4. That only electric current shall be used to run the pumping equipment. 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 interest.
