129 At 8:30 P. M. hearing was declared open upon petition of the Lexington Ridge, Inc. for permission to erect a real estate sign 16' x 40' upon premises located on Burlington Street, Lexington. The notice of the hearing was read by Clerk Locke. Mr. Morang and three other persons were present at the hearing. Mr. Morang said that he represented the petitioner. He said that the sign would be put up by the Diamond Match Co. and would advertise the subdivision where it is to be located. The Chairman asked how large the subdivision was, and he said that there were'60 lots. The Chairman asked if houses had been started, and Morang said that four cellar holes had already been built. The Chairman asked why he wished so'large a sign, and Morang said that that size sign had been set up by the Diamond Match Co., and was the same as other signs erected elsewhere. Mr. Morang said that the Diamond Match Co. financed his company and would do two-thirds of the selling of the houses. The Chairman asked why they needed such a large sign, and Morang said that the sign would have to be large as it was going to be 'set back quite a distance from the road. ' The Chairman said he thought a sign nearer the road would be more effective, as the road is narrow. Mr. Morang said that the sign meant an'outlay of $350. to build, and it is only a temporary thing, as it probably will be down by fall. He thought the sign would be from 150' to 200' back from the street, and would be on the side of the hill. No other persons appeared in favor of the granting of the petition. Mr. Willard F. Sanborn of 32 Burlington Street stated that he did.not feel that he would care to have a bill board put up in front of his house, and would like to keep the neighborhood as it is. He would not objeetto a sign the size of the one on the Hunt property opposite the High School. Mrs. Russell Brush of 28 Burlington St., Lexington, said that she felt the same way. The Chairman said that he had letters from two people objecting to the granting of the petition. The hearing was declared closed at 8:43 P. M. At 8:45 P.
