226 <br />BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING <br />September 16, 1938 <br />A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the Select- <br />men's Room, Town Office Building, at 8:00 P. M. Messrs. <br />Glynn, Ferguson, Robbins and Locke were present. In the ab- <br />sence of the Chairman, Mr. Glynn was elected Chairman Pro -tem. <br />At 8:00 P. M. hearing was declared open on the application <br />of Warren B. Lawrence for permission to store and sell trailers <br />at 916 Waltham Street, Lexington. The notice of the hearing <br />was read by Clerk Robbins. <br />About ten persons were present at the hearing. <br />Mr. Lawrence said that he wished to store and sell a <br />limited number of trailers on the premises. He said he did <br />not plan to cover the whole property with trailers as there <br />would be only seven or eight there. The Chairman Pro -tem <br />asked if it would be the same as a place where new cars were <br />sold, and he replied in the negative and said it would be <br />more like a place where second-hand cars were sold. They <br />would have to be stored outside. The Chairman Pro -tem asked <br />Mr. Lawrence if he had aninterest in the garage across the <br />street, and he said he did not. Mr. Lawrence said that on <br />the property there was a small roadside stand but it is too <br />small to be successful and he would like to use the lot for <br />* the sale of trailers in order to get some income. The Chair- <br />man Pro -tem asked what the hours of business were to be and <br />Mr. Lawrence said that they probably would remain open until <br />nine o'clock at night. The Chairman Pro -tem asked if they <br />intended to any business on Sunday, and Lawrence said that <br />they did if it was allowed. Mr. Ferguson asked how large <br />the lot was and Lawrence said there was a frontage on Concord <br />Avenue of about 400 feet and on ',"Waltham Street of about 600 <br />feet. <br />Lars. Isabella Fardy stated that she lived across the <br />street and was in favor of the granting of this petition. She <br />said that she once owned the land now owned by Lawrence. <br />Mr. Duncan Barker of 447 Concord Avenue stated that he <br />was not in favor of the granting of this petition. He admitted <br />that he lived down beyond the Sellars place on Concord Avenue <br />and could not see the corner. <br />Mr. John F. Daley, owning the property on the corner <br />opposite the Lawrence property, said that while he was not <br />especially opposed, he wanted to know what the plans were. <br />He wondered if this would not be establishing a precedent. <br />He questioned the Sunday business and wondered what effect <br />this use would have regarding real estate in the vicinity. <br />the property he owns has been in the family for 75 years. <br />The Chairman Fro -tem asked if he intended to have any signs <br />displayed, and Lawrence said that there would be one or two <br />small signs. <br />1 <br />
