HEARING JOSEPH F. CHABOT, DVM - June 8, 1971 Chairman Donald E. Nickerson read the notice as it had appeared in the May 20 and 27 issues of the Lexington Minute -man and also as it had been mailed to abutters. Mr. Nickerson: Mr. Dailey (William J. Dailey, Jr.) is representing Dr. Chabot. You have presented us with a plot plan by Miller and Nylander, dated 3/29/71, scale 1" = 40'; another plot plan by Miller and Nylander, dated 5/18/71, scale 1" = 20' and two drawings by Palmiter Associates, Architects, entitled Preliminary Sketch and Preliminary Elevation Floor Plan, both dated 1/6/70, revised 9/15/70. We have a copy of the Miller and Nylander plot plan dated 5/18/71 with changes and alterations recom- mended by the Planning Board. Do you ....... you know about these don't you? Answer: Yes. Dr.Chabot is operating from Dr. Benton's former place. Funds are avail- able to convert the building to headquarters for the National Park in the near future. Dr. Chabot will have to move. Mr. Dailey described his client's intention to purchase the MacBeth prop- erty on which he has an option. He plans to remodel and live in the house and to build an animal hospital. There are 7 lots in the option. Lot 27 on the plan is Town owned. The house occupies a lot with 50 foot frontage, 457 ft. deep, the hospital would occupy a lot with 150' frontage and nearly 475' depth. The new building, which will be one story is shown on the plan (80' wide by 43' deep by 16'). It will be set back 105' from Waltham St. Mr. Dailey showed aerial photographs of the land. It shows the property as being across from Brookside Ave. He explained the photographs. Mr. Dailey: At the present time Dr. Chabot is operating full time. He has an average of 17 appointments a day. The new operation will not include boarding. The hours will be as they are presently: Monday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and no hours on Sunday. There will be no outside runs. The animals will receive treatment and once they are cured they will be released. There will be no boarding. We had proposed parking for 4 spaces. There will be no outside lighting except on nights when the hours go to 7 p.m. and lights at the driveway. We have a man from Bolt, Beranek and Newman, acoustical experts. (lighting and noise man) Mr. Dailey: We have a petition with 185 names. Mr. Nickerson: This is a new list? Not the same as before? Mr. Dailey: It's a new list. Mr. Nickerson: How many parking spaces will there be? Mr. Dailey: Eight and one service beside the building. The building will occupy only 5% of the total land area. We think it fair to say 80% will remain open space. Dr. Chabot will live on the lot which is #23.
