270 rTJ That the type of construction would be the same as ' the existing building and would contain a lift; That they intend to remove the out -door lift and out- door pit and tool -box; That they intend to add one flood light and a new Neon sign. Evidence was offered on behalf of persons opposing the petition tending to show that they did not wish to see any change made which would affect the zoning of the adjoining property; That they did not wish to have installed additional flood lights or additional signs. At the close of the hearing the Board in private session on March 3, 1939 gave consideration to the subject of the petition and voted unanimously in favor of the following findings: 1. That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served by the making of the exception requested. 2. That the exception requested will not tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. 3. That the exception requested will be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the regulations in ' the Lexington Zoning By-law. 4. 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 -substan- tially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lex- ington Zoning By-law. Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unan- imously decides that the application of the said Lexington Zoning By-law is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to permit the Shell Union Oil Corp. located at 1095 Mass. Ave., Lexington, to construct and maintain a lubritorium approximately 15' x 241 6", substantially in accordance with plans submitted, which are marked "D-5542, dated 2/3/39" and "D-5543, dated 2/3/39", under the following conditions: That the type of construction shall be similar to that of the existing building on the premises; that the existing out-of-door lift and pit and tool -box shall be removed; that there shall be no additional lights and that there shall be no additional signs; that the premises shall be maintained in good condition at all times and that no storage of any nature shall be allowed outside of the build- ' Ing; that the work shall be completed within six months of the date of this permit.
