BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING
March 20, 1931.
A regular meeting of the Board of Appeals was held
at the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, at 8 P.M.
Messrs. Maddison, Baldrey, Glynn, Custance and Slocum
were present. The Secretary was also present.
The Board discussed the applicationofPichette &
Ahern for permission to erect and maintain'a garage and
repair shop for 20 automobiles, and to keep, store and
sell petroleum products and volatile inflammable liquids
in connection therewith at #847-855 Mass. Ave., and to
use the premises as a public filling station for the Pichette &
storage, keeping and sale of gasoline in the capacity Ahern
of 5000 gallons in underground tanks. hearing.
Mr. Roland W. Baldrey had several objections which
he offered. He felt that the exterior of the building
could be a better form of architecture, rather than the
ordinary frame building having a flat roof which is
usually constructed as a garage. He felt also that the
repair shop should be removed and he did not know whether
it was the intention of the owners to remove it or to
leave it there, and he wondered if this restriction
could be put in any -permit that might be granted; he
felt that the present building would be removed at some
time, but that if a garage permit were granted, it would
be something that was permanent. He also stated that
he -visited -some of the people who had signed the petition
for the permit, and that they stated that they knew
Ir. Field and liked him and did not want to do anything
that would hurt him, but at the same time, they were not
keen on having a garage in this location.
Mr. Bladrey also felt that this Town was visited by
a great number of persons each year and the Board should
do everything in its power to keep the place looking as
fine as possible.
Mr. C. Edward Glynn stated that he would look
favorably upon the permit for the garage but he did not
believe in granting a permit for a filling station in
this location as there were already too many on Mass. Ave.
The Board voted on the matter, three voting in
favor and two against. The Board therefore were not
unanimous and directed a communication to Pichette &
Ahern to this effect.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
A true record, Attest:
Clerk.
