12 <br />BOARD CF'APPEALS MEETING <br />April 10, 1947 <br />A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the <br />Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building on Thursday <br />evening, April 10, 1947. Chairman Locke, Mr. Brown <br />and Associate Members Ballard and Ripley were present. <br />The Clerk was also present. <br />The meeting was held for further discussion on the <br />petitions of Lewis Pollard and Joseph Kelly. Public <br />hearings of these petitions were first held on April 41, <br />19473, and adjourned until this evening. <br />At 8:00 P.M., Mr. Lindstrom, Building Inspector, <br />entered the meeting. He stated that his reason for <br />putting Mr. Kelly's petition before the Board was because <br />he was not sure that the.f rost might not get down under <br />the grade beam and heave it. The frost from the outside <br />might get down in and start to heave from the edge. As <br />long as a person is living in the house, the chances are <br />slighter that this would occur, but if the house were <br />left alone, and the heat shut off, there would be a change <br />of frost getting in and lifting the beam. <br />There are some of these houses in Braintree, but Mr. <br />Lindstrom does not feel that we have had severe enoughi: <br />winters for the past few years to really test this type of <br />construction. He doubts very much that #)e grade beam <br />would withstand pressure from the frost. <br />Mr. Lindstrom retired at 9:20 P.M. <br />The Board considered the application of Mr. <br />Pollard. Upon motion of Mr. Brown, seconded by Mr. <br />Ballard, it was unanimously voted that the appli- <br />cation be denied in the following form: <br />1 <br />
