Robbins and Bowker were present. The Secretary was also present. At 8:00 P. M. hearing was declared open upon the application of Herman MacKay for permission to maintain a plumbing shop at 36 Waltham Street, Lexington. Mr. MacKay was present at the hearing. The notice of the hearing was read by Clerk Robbins. Mr. MacKay said that he built a new garage on the premises and was maintaining a plumbing shop in it, and the Building Inspector told him that he should have a permit to do so from the Board of Appeals. Mr. MacKay said that in his application he asked for permission to maintain a sign, but he was not fussy about it. Mr. MacKay said that this would not interfere with the kindergarten at all, as there are separate driveways. He said he had been storing his tools on the premises ever since he bought the place last fall. The Chairman asked if the premises were in the busi- ness district, and be said that it was. His lot is 102' deep, and most of the garage is in the business district. The Chairman asked where he would put the sign, and Mr. MacKay said he had not decided yet, but it probably would be attached to the garage. The Chairman said that inasmuch as the,property was in the business district, he was entitled to eregk any normal sign allowed in a C.1 District. He thought the sign was not a matter for the Board of Appeals to consider. No other persons wishing to be heard, the hearing was declared closed at 8:15 P. M.
