5? <br />I0 <br />The Chairman asked if they wished flood lights, and <br />DeVincent replied in the negative. <br />The Chairman asked about signs, and Henry DeVincent <br />said they would have to have a few signs on Pleasant <br />Street and in front of the stand. He did not have any <br />definite plans about signs. Mr. Ryder said they would <br />assent to anytiiing the Board requested on signs. <br />Mr. William G. Potter of 25 Walnut Street, Lexington, <br />was also present at the hearing. He said that he was <br />opposed to stands on the Concord Turnpike, and if they <br />have to have a stand near here, he would prefer to see <br />it on Pleasant Street. The present stand is anything <br />but attractive, and he thought a new, attractive building <br />would be an improvement. <br />Mr. Redman asked if they expected to get business <br />from the people patronizing the 1775 House, and Mr. <br />DeVincent said that sometimes people from there bought <br />from him. <br />Mr. Potter said that there was a washhouse directly <br />• opposite the 1775 House, which probably would be removed <br />when the new stand was erected. nyder said that the <br />washhouse was used for storage now. <br />The Chairman asked Mr. Ryder what he thought the <br />limit of distance was that DeVincent would be willing <br />to place the stand from the Turnpike, and Ryder said that <br />they felt that the proposed location described tonight <br />was back as far as they want to go. He said that the <br />land at the corner had been filled in, as the Turnpike <br />was built three or four feet above the cultivated land, <br />and the further back, the deeper the fill is. They will <br />have to fill in to place the stand where they now pro- <br />pose to place it. <br />Ioir. Potter asked if a permit could be granted so as <br />to restrict an entrance from the Turnpike, and the Chair- <br />man replied in the affirmative. <br />No other persons wishing to be heard, the hearing was <br />declared closed a Ei:I.0 The records of the meeting <br />held on October 1 th %%-'re .eclared anoroved. <br />It vas decided to meet on Friday, November 6th at <br />8:00 P. 11. to discuss the petition.. <br />The meeting adjourned at 9:17 P.
