At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner <br />tending to show: That he wished to alter an existing 2 -car <br />garage located on Webb. St., Lexington, in such a manner as to <br />provide temporary living quarters. He stated that he planned <br />to erect a permanent home on this location as soon as building <br />conditions warranted. The petitioner stated that the garage <br />was built of concrete blocks and that he intended to provide <br />a living room, kitchen and toilet facilities in said building; <br />that no permanent ciiimney would be erected; that the building <br />would probably be heated by a small stove. He said that the <br />distance from the side lot line is 21 in the rear and 4' in the <br />front and the distance from the btreet line is 10' on one <br />end and 81 on the other. The petitioner also stated that he <br />expected to use this building as a residence for approximately <br />two years. <br />No one appeared in opposition to the petition. <br />At the close of the hearing the Board in private session <br />June 14, 1946; gave consideration to the subject of the petition <br />and voted unanimously in favor of the following findings: <br />1. That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare <br />will be substantially served by the making of the exception <br />requested. <br />2. That the exception requested will not tend to impair <br />the status of the neighborhood. <br />3. That the exception requested will be in harmony with the <br />general purposes and intent of the regulations in the Lexington <br />Zoning By-law. <br />4. That owing to conditions especially affecting the said <br />parcel but not affecting generally the Zoning district in which <br />it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the <br />Lexington Zoning By -Law as to the locus in question would involve <br />substantial hardship to the petitioner and that desirable relief <br />may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent <br />or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. <br />Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unanimously <br />decides that the application of the Lexington Zoning By-law <br />is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to ermit the <br />alteration of an existing two -car garage into temporary riving <br />quarters as indicated on sketch attached, dated June 14, 1946. <br />This permit is granted for one year from date. <br />1 <br />7 <br />
