79 <br />BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING <br />July 25, 1946 <br />A meeting of the Board of Appeals wau held in the Select- <br />men's Room, Town Office Building on Thursday evening, June �5, <br />1946 at 7:30 p.m. Messrs. Locke, Brown, Nickerson, and <br />Associate Members Ripley and Ballard were present. In the <br />absence of Mr. Bowker, Mr. Locke acted as Chairman. <br />Further consideration was given to the application of Charles <br />J. Bjorkgren for permission to erect a building at the rear of <br />265 Bedford Street, Lexington for the purpose of storage and <br />playroom which will not have the required setback farmm the street. <br />The Chairman read a letter from Mr. Lynch, Town Counsel, <br />regarding the Bjorkgren petition. <br />The Chairman said that if the building had been set back <br />twenty feet, the Building Inspector could probably -have granted <br />a permit. He stated that the building was approximately 22t x <br />301. <br />Mr. Nickerson said that he thought it was very easy for <br />contractors to depart from the requirements of a residential <br />area and cause an unsightly condition. <br />Mr. Brown wondered why the building was so large if the man <br />only intended it for the storage of ladders and tools. <br />Mr. Nickerson said he did not like to see a house, garage <br />' and then another house or building on so small a lot. <br />Mr. Ripley said that Mr. Bjorkgren was governed largely <br />where he proposed to put the building by the fact that he wanted <br />to have a garden. The soil is very poor on part of the land and <br />very good on another part. If the building was set back farther, <br />it would ruin the little garden that he has. <br />At 8:07 p.nA. hearing was declared open upon the application <br />of Julia Grant for permission to sub -divide a parcel of land, <br />located at 627 Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington, for a building <br />lot which will not have the required frontage. <br />The notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Brown. <br />Mr. and Mrs. Julia Grant, their daughter, and Mr. Healey <br />were present at the hearing. <br />Mrs. Grant presented to the Board a map showing just what <br />she proposed to do. She stated that her present house is near <br />Pleasant Street, and is called the "Old Joy Estate". She said <br />that the present frontage on Lot A-1 is approximately 196.10 <br />feet and she couldn't possibly take any more frontage from this <br />lot, because the main house requires a large frontage. She said <br />that she wanted to build a house for herself on the proposed lot; <br />the new house to be set back in line with the main house. <br />The Chairman asked how far back she world locate the new <br />bD.0-ae % <br />Mrs. Grant stated that she would put it back in line with <br />the piazza of the main house. <br />
