affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax ' list and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -Man, a news. paper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's RoM. in the Town Office Building on the 14th day of June, 1946. Five regular members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That he wished to obtain an extension of his permit for the maintenance of a golf driving range an Lowell Street, Lexington on land adjacent to Countryside, Inc. and that he is in agreement to have this permit granted on the same bases as previously granted. No one appeared in opposition to the said petition. At the close of the hearing the Boatd in private session June 14, 1946, gave consideration to the subject of the petition and voted uaanimously in favor of the following findings: 1. 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 imppir 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 Lex- ington Zoning By-law. 4. That owing to conditions especially affecting the said parcel but not affecting generally the Zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions 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 Richard Kelly to use a portion of the land owned by Howard M. L.1unroe on Lowell Street, in the rear of Countryside, Inc. for a golf driving range, subject to the following conditions: 1. That the row of tees shall be placed at such angles from the line of Lowell Street that the balls travel away from the Countryside restaurant. n 1
