BOARD OF APPEALS I:JEETING November 6, 1942 A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, at 8:00 P. II. Chairman Glynn and Messrs. Bowker and Nick- erson, and Associate Ivembers Ballard and Redman were present. The Clerk was also present. The meeting was held to discuss the application of Ernest DeVincent for permission to construct a roadside stand for the sale of produce and products of the lands of the petitioner at the junction of the Concord Turnpike and Pleasant Street. The Board considered from the plan submitted to it showing the desired location and the evidence offered at the hearing, that any other location consider- ably removed from the line of the Turnpike so that such a location would not attract patronage from those travel- ling upon the Turnpike, would be wholly unacceptable to the applicant, and consequently, acted only upon the location submitted. Upon motion of Mr. Bowker, seconded by Mr. Ballard, it was unanimously voted to deny the petition in the following form: The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Ernest DeVincent, 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 Build- ing on October 30, 1942. Two Associates and three riembers of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed.
