At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That he wished h permit for a period of one year expiring on May S. 1944 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 hnd that there had been no parking of automobiles on Marrett Road. No evidence was offered in opposition.

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 oaring 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 petitioner and that desirable relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unanimously decides that the application of the Lexington Zoning By-law is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to permit Frank A. Napoli to maintain a temporary roadside stand on Marrett Road on the land of Frank A. and Mary Napoli for the purpose of selling only the products grown on their land in the Town of Lexington, and that said stand be main- tained on the location as now existing; they to provide a sufficient parking space for automobiles to prevent traffic • congestion on Marrett Road; this permit to expire May 8, 1944.
