Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Brown. Mr. Demaso presented a plan and explained that he would like to revise the lots so that he would have two lots facing Fletcher Avenue instead of three, as they now are. Mr. John M. Ingraham, 35 Hayes Lane said that he would not benefit by the proposed change and he felt that if three houses were erected, a traffic hazard would be created. The Chairman explained that the owner of the property could build the houses even if the proposed changes were not made. Miss Virginia Welch, 29 Hayes Lane, said that her sentiments were the same as those of Mr. Ingraham. Mrs. Demaso stated that whatever the land was used for would be an improvement and that the road would eventually have to be widened. Miss Welch alsked how many rooms the houses would have and Mr. Demaso said that they would have five or six rooms, would be one story Cape Cod houses. The hearing was declared closed at 8:20 p.m. At 8:25 p.m. hearing was declared open upon the petition of Andrew Cupp for permission to construct and maintain a packing room, boiler room, garage and greehhouse on his property opposite 186 Woburn Street, Lexington. Mr. Cupp and his brother were the only persons present at the hearing. Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Redman. Mr. Cupp presented blue prints and explained briefly what he intended to do. The Chairman asked if he was going to raise flowers and Mr. Cupp replied that he would raise flowers and vegetables to be sold at wholesale. The Chairman asked what signs would be used and Mr. CuPP said that he would not have any signs and that he intended to take his produce to the market himself. Mr. Locke asked how many greenhouses would be erected and Mr. Cupp said that he would only construct one at the present time. 600 20 He said, however, that there is sufficient room on the lot for quite a number. He said that he owns 525* along Woburn Street and will be going back 150' . The Chairman inquired as to the type of building which would be erected and Mr. Cupp said that it would be of cement blocks or poured cement. The Chairman asked if the greenhouses would be heated by coal or oil and Mr. Cupp said that he hoped to use oil. Mr. Redman asked if the petitioner intended to do anything with the front land and Mr. Cupp said that would only use the back land and leave grass growing in front. The Chairman asked if Mr. Cupp intended to operate the business himself and he replied in the affirmative. Mr. Brown asked now close the building would be to the lot line and Mr. Cupp said that there will be 126' on one side and 400' on the other side.

Gutteridge for permission to establish a dentist office in his residence at 1963 Massachusetts Avenue , Lexington. Dr. and Mrs. Gutteridge and Mr. Clayton Morse were present at the hearing. Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Brown. Dr. Gutteridge said that he recently purchased this property and wished to maintain a dentist office. He said that there would be no flamboyant signs except a small sign in keeping with the house. The Chairman asked what his office hours would be and Dr. GUtteridge said that he hoped not to have to work after 6:00 p.m. but occasionally might be open until 8:00 p.m. Mr. Brown asked if there would be any alterations made to the house. Dr. Gutteridge said that he would like to keep his office separate from the rest of the house which might mean putting a door on the side of the house. He said he would provide an entrance to his office by replacing a window in the front with a door. The Chairman asked if that was the only change contemplated and Dr. Gutteridge replied in the affirmative. Mr. Morse said that he has known Dr. Gutteridge for over thirty years and stated that he is a very capable dentist. The hearing was declared closed at 8:45 p.m. The Board discussed the petition of Mary I. Demaso and upon motion of Mr. Locke, seconded by Mr. Brown, it was unanimously voted to grant the petition in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under the Lexington Zoning By-law and General Laws, Chapter 40, Sections 25 to 30 as amended, having received a written petition addressed to it by Mary I.

The petitioner desires to erect three houses on the lots marked A, B and C on the plan attached. Egeh of the proposed new lots will have a frontage of 100' or more. One lot will have an area of 13,600 sq. ft. , another of 10,930 sq. ft. and the third of 114.080 sq. ft.

That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served by the making of the exception req- uested. 2. That the exception requested will not tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. 3.

Mass. by permitting the following packing room, boiler and garage and greenhouse. Andrew Cupp 186 Woburn St. Lexington 12 DO At 9:00 p.m. hearing was declared open upon the application of Clarence L. Cole for permission to erect a garage on the side of his premises located at 50 ProspectpHill Road, and said garage to be 12' in width and to be within 52 of the lot line. Mr. Cole and Mr. Frederick D. Wells, 58 Prospect Hill Road, were present at the hearing. Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Nickerson. Mr. Cole presented a drawing and the Chairman asked if the building is partially erected and Mr. Cole said that the foundation and one floor was done in August, 1945. He said that there is a 4' drop from one corner of the lot onto the street. Mr. Cole said that the original plan was to have a garage under the porch on the back side of the house, but when excavation was started, ledge was en- countered. He said that the ledge is such that it would be necessary to blast to make a driveway and that his alternative was to go on the side for the garage. To avoid the ledge, he has moved three or four feet from the original line. He said that he had the property surveyed after the foundation was put in and it was exactly 17k' from the lot line. He said that the house is so laid out that his problem is to get a garage and kitchen entrance on the side. Mr. Cole said that 10' will be area enough for his garage, but it would not leave an entrance fot the kitchen. The Chairman asked when the lot was laid out and Mr. Cole said that it dated back to the 20's and that it definitely did not come within the scope of the 15? requirements. He said that there were originally three 50' lots and he purchased 75t frontage. The Chairman asked if, in coming out of the kitchen, one would go into the garage and Mr. Cole replied in the affirmative . He said that the farthest point of the garage will be 22' from the Street line. Mr. Brown asked if there would be a space between the garage and the main building and Mr. Cole replied in the negative. Mr. Redman asked if the garage would be flush against the house and Mr. Cole replied in the affirmative. Mr. Redman asked if Mr. Cole would use cement blocks. He said that he intended to comply with the building requirements and the garage would be fireproof. Mr. Redman asked if the front of the garage would extend beyond the front line of the house and Mr. Cole said that it would extend 3 ' beyond. Mr. Reederick D. Wells said that he objected to the petition because he had purchased the lot in between mainly to prevent crowding of houses in this area. Mr. Redman asked if Mr. Wells thought the garage would damage his lot and he replied that it would be just one step overcoming what he hoped to do. The hearing was declared closed at 9 25 p.m. The Board considered thepptition of Dr. Gutteridge, and the Chair- man read a letter received from William Roger Greeley opposing granting the petition. Upon motion of Mr. Nickerson, seconded by Mr. Locke , it was 7 13 unanimously voted to grant the petition in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under the Lexington Zoning By-law and General Laws, Chapter 40 , Sections 25 to 30 as amended, having received a written petition addressed to it by Dr. J.
