Regulation for Animal Permits He questioned why the permit was not in Mrs. Fitzgerald's name. Mrs. Fitzgerald explained that the property will be Lisa's some day but the Board told Mrs. Fitzgerald she should have the permit in her name. Dr. Cosgrove said the permit should be revoked and Virginia should apply for the permit in her name. Mr. Johnson said that the Fitzgeralds used some of his land for the grazing of the horses. He stables a horse there also. The Board suggested that Mrs. Lovett re -apply for the permit in her name, as she has the stable on her property, and Mr. Johnson could write a letter stating she has his permission to use his property for grazing, etc. Mr. Smith said there is no problem giving Mrs. Lovett borrowed land but it should state "as long as land is available only" when land is not available permit should be revoked. The Board explained to Mrs. Lovett if she boarded horses from outside she would have to go before the Board of Appeals because this would be a business venture. When Mrs. Lovett sends in her application the Board will take it up at their regular meeting. Mrs. Fitzgerald Lovett, Mr. Johnson and Karen Bresnihan thanked the Board and retired. Dr. Cosgrove stated that he would like to stop "this borrowing of land" except in a rare case when someone almost makes it on acreage. The Board briefly discussed the animal regulations/amendments. It is now 2 acres for 1 horse. Mr. Smith did not think it necessary to have 2 acres for 1 horse but Dr. Erdos said he felt it was necessary and only "fair" to the horse. They decided to study the regulations further before making changes. Mr. Smith also mentioned that any variances given are suppose to be filed with the Town Clerk's Office but the Board has never done this. He also stated in order for anyone to have a horse and stable they must have a permit from the Board of Health. IMMUNIZATION Mr. Smith reported that he had sent to the Lexington physicians im- RECORDS munization lifetime health record booklets. Dr. Erdos said they should go to the pediatricians and should also be distributed to nursery schools and kindergartens and first -grade parents.
