The Board of Appeals will hold a hearing on the matter of varying the application of the Zoning Law by permitting on the premises owned by Johannes T. Carlson and located at 83 East Street, Lexington, the enlargement of the present greenhouses, to be so located as not to have the required 20 fejt from the street line. Rie hearing will be held on September 29th, 19392 at 8:00 P. Y., in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Build- ing, Lexington. ARTHUR N. 14ADDISON Chairman, Board of Appeals ' The records of fae August 25th meeting were declared approved. The Board considered the application for the use of the Henry C. Brookings property at 18/20 1raltham Street for the installation of eight bowling alleys, and inasmuch as the premises have since been sold and are to be used for other purposes, there was no occasion for further action. At 8:15 P. IA. adjourned 'nearing was declared open upon the application of Mary D. Hatch for permission to maintain two signs on the property located between Watertown Street and the Concord Turnpike. Mrs. Hatch, Mr. R. W. Maynard, Iviiss Lilly Johannson, Mr. F. W. Coleman, and Mr. George Foster were present at the hearing. The notice of the hearing was read by Clerk Robbins. Mrs. Hatbh said that she received notice of the original hearing the morning she was leaving on her vacation, and she asked someone to represent her, but that person, through some misunderstanding, did not appear. She said that the signs had been up for about two months, one facing Watertown Street and the other facing the Turnpike. She said that ' there were seven lots ready for sale, and the idea is to lay out more after hese have been sold. 50 Mr. Ferguson asked how large these signs were, and she said they were 41 by 6 1 . , Mr. Maynard said he wished to be recorded in favor of the granting of the permit, and felt that the signs were for the best good of the town, as they are intended to draw people to buy lots and build homes. He said that he was connected with the Lexington Lumber Company, and had an interest in land for development anywhere. Miss Johannson said that she owned the property ad- joining 1.Irs. Hatch's. She wanted to know whether or not if and when she filed an application for signs of a similar size Pars. Hatch would oppose her petition. The Chairman said that that was a private matter between Mrs. Hatch and herself. Miss Johannson said that she wanted some assurance that if she did not oppose Mrs. Hatch►s petition and the 3oard granted it, it would also act favorably on her peti- tion. The Chairman told her that the Board of Appeals could not tell her how it would feel when her application came up. Mrs. Hatch said that she viould not give any blanket approval of any sign until she knew what size and kind of sign was to be erected. Miss Johannson said that if she was forced to submit her sign to Mrs. Hatch for approval, she thought Mrs. Hatch should give her the same privilege. The Chairman said that the Board could not ask Mrs. e Hatch to give her approval or disapproval. Miss Johanson said she would withdraw her opposition. The group retired. The Board considered the application of Mary D. Hatch for the maintenance of two signs on her development located between Watertown Street and the Concord Turnpike for the purpose of advertising the development upon which they are located. '1he.Board felt that the signs were of neat appear- ance, and as it had been stated that they were 41 x 6' in size, that the permit should be granted. Upon motion of Mr. Maddison, seconded by Mr. Ferguson, it was unanimously voted to grant the petition in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Mary D.

The hearing will be held on August 4th, 1939, at 8:30 F. M. in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, Lexington, Mass. ARTHUR N. 1dI DDISON Chairman, Board of Appeals. The Board considered the.application of Charles I. Gragg for the use of the premises at 18/20 Waltham Street for the extraction by laboratory process of essences. The Board was advised by the Town Counsel that in his opinion such a use would come under the cate`ory of light manufacturing and would be allowable only in an M. 1 District, and it was unanimously voted that the permit be denied in the following fdrm: The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Charles I. Gragg., a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which notice was mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list, and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -Man, a newspaper pub- lished in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Sel- ectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on August 4, 1939. 57 ' One Associate and two members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That he wished to lease the premises at 18/20 Waltham Street; that he wished to install equipment necessary for the extraction of essences, particularly those of vanilla and ginger, the sale of which is made to the bottling trade; that their customers were spread over a large territory, including South America; that there were no objectionable odors in connection with the processes; that they carried no stock in volatile liquids, with the exception of alcohol, which would not be in excess of fifty gallons; that if they did not lease this property they might try to secure some other location within the Town or go elsewhere. Evidence was offered on behalf of citizens opposing the granting of the said petition tending to show that the result of having this kind of an establishment within the neighbor- hood was entirely unknown; that there might be objectionable odors and that a manufacturing business was not permissable in a C. 1 district. The Board in private session on September 29, 19390 gave consideration to the subject of the petition and voted ' unanimously in favor of the following findings: 1. That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will not be substantially served by the making of the exception requested. 2. That the exception requested will tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. 3. That the exception requested will not be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the regulations in the Lexington Zoning By-law. 4. That the enforcement of the Lexington 'Zoning By-law as to the locus in question would not involve practical difficulty and unnecessary hardship and the relief requested may not be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby denies the said petition of Charles I. Gragg for the extraction of essences on the premises at 18/20 Waltham street for the reason that such a use is considered to be light manufac- turing and consequently restricted to a M.l.zone. The Board hereby makes a detailed record of all its proceedings relative to such petition and hereby sets forth that the reasons for its decision are its findings herein ' before set forth and the testimony presented at the said 58 �y hearing, including that summarized, and directs that this ' record immediately following this decision shall be filed in the office of the Town Clerk of Lexington and shall be a public record and that notice of this decision shall be mailed forthwith to each party in interest.
