222 <br />of the officers of the Town. <br />No one appeared in opposition. <br />At the close of the hearing the Board in private session <br />on September 9, 1938 gave consideration to the subject of <br />the petition and voted unanimously in favor of the follow- <br />ing findings: <br />1. That in its judgment the public convenience and <br />welfare will be substantially served by the making of the <br />exception requested. <br />2. That the exception requested will not tend to <br />impair the status of the neighborhood. <br />3. hat 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 />4. That owing to conditions especially affecting the <br />said parcel but not affecting generally the Zoning district <br />in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the prov- <br />isions of the Lexington Zoning By-law as to the locus in <br />question would involve substantial hardship to the peti- <br />tioner and that desirable relief may be granted without <br />substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of <br />such Lexington Zoning By-law. <br />Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unan- <br />imously decides that the application of the said Lexington <br />Zoning By law is hereby varied so far as may be necessary <br />to permit the use of the house at 1557 Mass. Ave. for the <br />maintenance of a public building, subject to the following <br />condition: <br />That the exterior appearance of the building shall not be <br />materially changed, except as may be necessary to comply <br />with the Statutes of the Commonwealth and ordinances of the <br />Town. <br />The Board hereby makes a detailed record of all its <br />proceedings relative to such petition and hereby sets forth <br />that the reasons for its decision are its findings herein- <br />before set forth and the testimony presented at the said <br />hearing, including that herein summarized, and directs <br />that this record immediately following this decision shall <br />be filed in the office of the Town Clerk of Lexington and <br />shall be open to public inspection and that notice of this <br />decision shall be mailed forthwith to each party in interest. <br />BOARD OF APPEALS OF LEXINGTON <br />(Appointed under G.
