Pine Crest -5- Board as to size of building and number of components, do you think ' that this would alter the opinion? White: This would be vastly reassuring. Nickerson: We want to consider all these things very thoroughly - and any reasonable conditions imposed to tie it down for the reason of getting along with his neighbors might well be considered by this Board. I think I have asked you enough questions. Ripley: On the street lights - what is the type - could they be toned down or shaded so they would not show up as much and still give you all the light you need? Cataldo: I don't think they shine that much. I don't know. They are the new type design like the street lights. ' this would very much be appreciated.

White: I think the issue is being slightly misunderstood. I think the position is largely that we have in the midst of strictly a residen- tial district a large, hospital building with illumination at night and the whole area has the appearance of being dominated by this structure. I think that the Board suggests that it might consider the possibility of requesting Mr. Cataldo to tone down the effect of his structure and ' this would very much be appreciated.
