147 ' behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That he desired to remodel the house at 8 Dunham Street, so that some of his children could live with him; that the house was built in 1923 and is a two family house; that it is a fire proof structure inside and out; and that he desired to change the upstairs apartment so as to accommodate three families. Mr. Trebino explained to the Board how he intended to remodel the house. One person appeared in opposition, stating that his objection was not to the alteration of the house, but tc the fact that the description of the property called 118 Dunham Street" was not correct, and that there was no such street number. At the close of the hearing the Board in private session on June 7, 1940 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 provisions 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 substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unanimously decides that the application of the said Lex- ington Zoning By-law is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to permit Stephen Trebino to alter the dwelling located on a way off Utica Street commonly known as #8 Dunham Street, to permit its use by three families; that these alterations shall be made on the second floor to allow occupation by two families, both of whom shall be other members of his family; that the work shall be started within six months of the date of this permit.
