218 He said that the building would be Colonial type, and he would be willing to build it any way the Board suggested. He had not engaged an wineer, as he was told that any work put in might be ofuse if his petition was turned down. Mr. Glynn said that we had traffic congestion now, and he thought a plot plan worked out would be helpful. Mr. O'Connell said he had an opportunity to acquire additional space for parking, and was willing to buy the Rubin and Seligman property in the rear for parking. Mr. Maddison asked what type of films would be run, and O'Connell said they would be about the same as shown in Winchester. No others appeared in favor of the granting of the petition. Mr. William E. Viano appeared in opposition. He said that the ]Lexington Theatre had been operating for over twenty years, and he had managed it. He did not think that there was enough business to support two theatres in Lexington. No towns around the same size as Lexington had two theatres. He said he had ample land in the rear of his theatre to enlarge, if necessary, but he had never felt the need of it. He said he was very much opposed to the granting of this petition.. No others appeared in opposition, and the hearing w as declared closed at 8:45 P. M. The Board considered the petition of Gustaf Nottebart for permission to remodel his house at 331 Concord Avenue, Lexington, into a two family house. Inasmuch as a portion of the present structure was in bad condition structurally, and the house had been used up to five years ago as a two family house, and it was his intention to use the same found- ation, and the exterior appearance of the house fronting on Concord Avenue would not be changed, except the height of the same to a slight degree plus the removal of the el; the Board felt that the petition should be granted. Upon motion of Mr. Kimball, seconded by Mr. Robbins, it was unanimously voted to grant the petition in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chap- ter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Gustaf Nottebart, a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list and also advertised in the Lex- ington Minute -Man, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's ttoom, Town Office Building, on the 9th day of September, 1938.
