Evidence was offered on behalf of citizens opposing <br />the granting of the said petition tending to show that <br />their interest in the appeal was as to whether it would <br />create a precedent that would allow similar use of barns <br />located on other properties in the vicinity. <br />At the close of the hearing the Board in private <br />session on March 3, 1944 gave consideration to the sub- <br />ject of the petition and voted unanimously in favor of the <br />following findings: <br />1. That in its judgment the public convenience and <br />welfare will not be substantially served by the making of <br />the exception requested. <br />2. That the exception requested will tend to impair <br />the status of the neighborhood. <br />3. That the exeception requested will not be in <br />harmony with the general purposes and intent of the regula- <br />tions in the Lexington Zoning By-law. <br />4. That the enforcement of the Lexington Zoning By- <br />law as to the locus in question would not involve practical <br />difficulty and uhneeessary hardship and the relief requested <br />may not be granted without substantial detriment to the <br />public good and without substantillay derogating from the <br />intent and purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. <br />Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby denies <br />the said petition of Nell Cutler Crawford. The Board Peels <br />that the frontage of the lot in question is much too small <br />to allow it to be divided at any time into two lots to <br />accommodate two dwellings such as contemplated, and that <br />the conversion of the barn as now planned would be a detri- <br />ment to the neighborhood. <br />The Board hereby makes a detailed record of all its <br />proceedings relative to such petition and hereby sets forth <br />that the reasons for its decision are its findings herein- <br />before set forth and the testimony presented at the said <br />hearing, including that herein summarized, and directs that <br />this record immediately following this decision shall be <br />filed in the office of the Town Clerk of Lexington and shall <br />be a public record and that notice of this decision shall be <br />mailed forthwith to each party in.interest. <br />BOARD OF APPEALS OF LEXINGTON <br />(Acting under the Lexington Zoning By-law <br />and General Laws) <br />C.
