43 The Board of Appeals after consideration of the evidence shown at the hearing, pertaining to the petition of Robert Dicey, does not feel that any action isnecessary on this case, inasmuch as the requ&sted use already exists, and that the requested use existed prior to the adoption of the original Lexington Zoning By-law. /s/ Virginia B. Tarbell Clerk, Board of Appeals. BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING June 5, 1947 A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, on Thursday, June 5, 1947. Chairman Locke, Messrs. Rich, Brown, Redman and Nickerson were present. The Clerk was also present. At 8;00 B.M., hearing was declared open upon the Petition of Ellen P. Nilsson for permission to operate an antique shop on the premises located at 495 Waltham Street. Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Brown. There were seven persons present. Notices of the hearing have been mailed to the owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent tax list. Mrs. Nilsson stated that she and her sister had been interested in antiques for many years. They use the sun room of the house which is 10 x 7 for their displays. In it they have fine china, and other small things, with an occasional piece of furniture. Most of their business is by mail. They have customers from all sections of the country. Occasionally a car stopes, but during the last month, for instance, only four cars stopped at the house. They would like to continue this business and have an appropriate sign out front saying "antiques" so that people will know there is a shop there. Every person Mrs. Nilsson contacted had no objections. She presented a statement to this effect signed by those who were unable to come this evening. The Board looked over the statement and Mr. Locke stated that it had been signed by 23 persons.
