RAI • Upon motion of Mr. Lombard, seconded by Yr. Locke, it was unanimously voted to grant the Napoli petition in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS FERGSIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Frank A. Napoli, 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 published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on the 4th day of Sept- ember, 1942. Three Associates and two 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 wished a permit for a period of one year expiring on May 8, 1943 to conduct a roadside stand on property of Frank A. & Mary Napoli, located on Marrett Road • and Middle Street; that there had been no changes made in connection with the existing roadside stand and that there had been no parking of automobiles on Marrett Road. No evidence was offered in opposition. At the close of the hearing the Board in private session on September 4, 1942 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 using to conditions especially affecting the said parcel but not affecting generally the Zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the pro- visions of the Lexington Zoning By-law as to the locus in question would involve substantial hardship to the pe- titioner and that desirable relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law.
