ANNUAL REPORT,- 1969 <br />December 11, 1969 <br />The activity of the Board of Appeals for 1969 has not been unusual in <br />the number of hearings, 84 vs 86 in 1968, but there has been much variety. <br />Our finding and determination decisions have been 9 in number. All <br />were granted and we hope will result in handsome physical and taxadvantage <br />to Lexington. <br />Our court record has been good. Permission for a nursing home granted <br />in 1968, taken to court by abettors and upheld in Superior Court was further <br />upheld by the Supreme Court in August of this year. A permission -for a <br />radio tower exceeding the permitted height was granted and a court suit <br />instituted by neighbors. The suit was withdrawn after a demonstration by <br />children persuaded the petitioner to abandon the project. No other court <br />cases have been -instituted this year. <br />One large PUD (cluster zone) petition was first denied, then granted <br />after substantial change. <br />We welcom our new secretary, Mrs. Robert D. Johnson. <br />' We deeply regret the death of our long time member, Aiden Lassell <br />Ripley, who served with us from 1948 until his resignation in 1967. <br />Donald E.
