Dr. Mooney -2- G that he could have patients in each of the two proposed treatment rooms and another patient in the proposed consultation room. In this way he could take care of his patients more quickly. ' Mr. Nickerson explained that the Board was concerned with the park- ing of cars of the people who came to see Dr. Mooney because the Doctor's house was on such a prominent corner. Dr. Mooney said he did not think there would be a large increase in his patients. Mr. Nickerson said that he thought with a substantial office and a commodious waiting more patients would be attracted. Dr. Mooney explained that at present he had a back -log of patients but by building the addition he would be able to take care of his present patients more rapidly. Mr. Nickerson said that the parking situation was impossible as it stood at present and the Board could be nasty and deny the petition to Dr. Mooney. However he felt that the parking situation could be remedied to get more cars off Massachusetts Ave. Mr. Ballard referred to the plans and asked if there was any other building back of the house. He also asked if the driveway was wide enough to turn around in at present. Dr. Mooney said he had a circular driveway at the front of his house. ' Mr. Ballard asked if there was an opportunity for helping the park- ing situation on Massachusetts Ave. Dr. Mooney explained the parking situation to Mr. Ballard with refer- ence to the plan submitted. Mr. Nickerson asked if there was any possibility that the people coming to see the Doctor would use this circular driveway to park their cars. He also stated that in the future no doctor will get a permission to use his house as an office if he is situated on the main street. We are trying to see what can be done to take care of this situation. Dr. Mooney said that if he could buy the lot next door he could use that for parking. He said that the architect had suggested that he cut the trees down on his front lawn and pave the whole front area, but this would spoil the looks of his house. It is his residence as well as his office. Mr. Nickerson asked Dr.'Mooney if he inferred that he would be will- ing to consider some remodeling of the parking situation. He referred to the plan stating that Dr. Mooney might be able to improve the parking situa- tion, he has 35' that would enable all the patients to park. Mr. Nickerson asked how much space there was from the house to the line. Mr. Ballard asked if there was any possibility of parking at the rear of the house.
