498 HORSE _ SANDS 57 MERIAM STREET PONIES - 22 BLOSSOM STREET KLEINMANN 143 BEDFORD STREET 2 GOATS 3 DUCKS stable at the rear of his lot. Dr. Ellicott said he had been out to see the area Mr. Miller intended to use and he questions the drainage for the barn and corral because of the proximity of the brook and pond in the area. He said he also- would like to see a plan of the barn and where the water supply was for cleaning and also the grain storage space. A letter will be sent to Mr. Miller requesting this information. The application for a permit to keep one pony by Mr. Frank Sands, 57 Meriam Street was discussed by the Board. Dr. Cosgrove and Dr. Ellicott agreed that the make -shift stable now being used could not be approved. This property is all on a hill and there is no objections from the neighbors. The Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Sands stating that plans for a suitable stable should be submitted and also to point out the regulations governing manure pits. The application for a permit to keep 2 ponies by Phulomenia M. Chiacchia of 22 Blossom Street was discussed by the Board. Dr. Ellicott said he would question the size of the stable that is on the property for 2 ponies and also the area where the grain and hay are to be stored. The clerk was instructed to notify Mrs. Chiacchia regarding these questions and if a satisfactory plan is presented to the Board the permit will be issued. There was no objection frau any of the neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Kleinmann, 143 Bedford Street attended this meeting to discuss an application for a permit to keep 2 goats and 3 ducks.

Mrs. Kleinmann said she felt that the cards to the abuttors were not sent out soon enough. Dr. Ellicott said he had checked this application out and the barn or shed where the goats were kept was right on the lot line. Our regulations state it must be at least 15 feet away. Dr. Ellicott asked if the Klein- mann's thought they could make peace with their neighbors. The Kleinmann's said the goats were noisy when they first came but now they had adjusted and were not noisy anymore. The children in the neighbor- hood come to see the goats and they are noisy when they are there but they are no worse than the motorcycle across the street and the dogs that are tied out all day barking.
