M. hearing was declared open upon the application of the Colonial Garage, Inc. for permission to maintain a parking space for automobiles in an area 50 feet inside the R.1 zone bordering on the C.1 zone, on the land located at 1686 - 1698 Mass. Ave., and to maintain bowling alleys in a proposed building to be located on the said property. Mr. Eugene Viano and nineteen other persons were present at the hearing. The notice of the hearing was read by Clerk Robbins. Mr. Viano said that this petition was preliminary to the proposed erection of a business block on the so-called Valentine property. When the Zoning Law was put into effect, the business zone went back to a depth of one hundred feet. Mr. Viano said that that was no longer adaptable for the type of stores now being erected. He said that the parking problem was becoming serious, and that to his knowledge, the parking problem in Lexington Center had been serious for many years. The business men consider it a serious hindrance to the conduct of their business, and he believed that business had to provide its own parking area. 1 185
