' Mildred E. Whitney - special permit approving as an accessory use, in accordance with section 25.81 of the zoning by-law, the use of a portion of her residence located at 1415 Massachusetts Avenue for the operation of a professional secre- tarial service, incidental to her residence. Following the hearings the Board made the following decisions, all unani- mous, in open meeting: A. Ben and Marion M. Freitas - granted. Nancy and Chi -Hua Wang - granted. Honeywell Inc., Radiation Center - granted. Itek Corporation - granted. Mildred E. Whitney - granted, as follows: special permission granted to Mrs. Mildred E. Whitney to continue to use a portion of her residence located at 1415 Massachusetts Avenue for the operation of a secretarial service, incidental to her residence with the understanding that this permission is granted contrary to by-law provisions, and that the term of her operating her business shall be ter- minated March 1, 1973, and further that she shall make sure that there is no parking in connection with her business except in her driveway, and that the business shall not be conducted obviously later than 6 p.m. This permission is given against our better judgment as regard zoning by-law regulations and let it be distinctly understood that we will not entertain another petition as we feel we have been fair and reasonable in allowing Mrs. Whitney another year (to March 1, 1973) to terminate her business. All pertinent material is on file under the name of each petitioner. The meeting adjourned at 10:10 p.m. c,,p_n' Evelyn F. Cole Clerk
