r: BOARD OF APPEALS PERIJIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 4.03, Sec. 27. having received a written petition addressed to it by Howard M. Munroe, 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 Lex- ington 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 September, 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 be- half of the petitioner tending to show: That he desired to maintain the pony riding school for children on the premises located on the southerly side of Woburn Street about one hundred and fifty feet (150') from the junction of Woburn Street and Lowell Street, in the same manner as in previous years. No persons appeared 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 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 pro- visions of the Lexington Zoning By-law as to the locus in question would involve substantial hardship to the petition- er and that desirable relief may be granted without sub- stantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. • 0
