EDWARD GLYNN, Chairman, Board of Appeals Insert: Lexington Minute -lean, Aug. 29th, 1940 Upon motion of Mr. Locke, seconded by Mr. Bowker, it was unanimously voted to grant the petition for the maintenance of the parking space in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Colonial Garage, Inc. a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -Man, a newspaper publish- ed in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on the 20th day of Sep- tember, 1940. Tvio Associates and three members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That he desired to establish a parking space in the rear and side of the proposed building located at 1686- 1698 Mass. Ave., as shown on a plan entitled "Store and Office Building at Lexington, R,Iass. for the Colonial Garage, Inc., Eugene J. Viano, Pres. 1940, John Edmund Kelley Architect, 38 Chauncy St., Boston Mass."; that the proposed building would utilize a part of the commer- cial area and that it was their desire to provide parking privileges for the customers of the tenants;that he believed that parking space was a requirement today for the satisfactory rental of business property. Seventeen persons appeared in opposition, stating that in their opinion the use of these premises for park- ing, especially in connection with the bowling alleys would create undue noise and would be a detriment to their well- being, and belief was expressed that this usage was an en- tering wedge to extend the business area at this location.
