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