1 <br />1 <br />C� <br />March 4, 1976.(continued) <br />-2 <br />ing By-law. The following is a description of the activities we propose to cater <br />in our function room in the basement of the building at the above address. <br />We propose to cater to christenings, wedding receptions, and private parties. <br />These activities will be strictly private affairs, and no uninvited of off -the - <br />street patronage will be allowed. <br />The Mammola Brothers Corporation will provide facilities, and refreshments if <br />required. No food will be prepared in the basement area, nor will liquor be <br />served by our catering service. <br />We would appreciate your attention to this matter and your advice. <br />Very truly yours, <br />/s/ Robert J. Mammola <br />Mammola Brothers Corporation. <br />The Board in open meeting voted unanimously to respond as follows: <br />Mammola Brothers Corporation <br />363 Massachusetts Avenue <br />Lexington, MA 02173 <br />Gentlemen: <br />March 5, 1976 <br />Our response to your letter of February 19, 1976 and following our informal <br />meeting February 12th at 2 p.m. with Dr. Clarke, Chairman of Planning Board and <br />Mr. Briggs, Planning Director, is that section 25.63 of our zoning by-law does <br />not qualify us to grant a permit as "caterer" to use your basement room as you <br />request. To us the word caterer means the providing of that type of service, but <br />not to the point of using all or part of a building for seating guests and serving <br />them substantial cooked meals at tables. This sort of use of an area we consider <br />under the "restaurant" heading. <br />We have already considered and denied the use of this area for a restaurant <br />and feel unwilling to reopen the subject. <br />Very truly yours, <br />/s/ Donald E. Nickerson <br />Chairman <br />Board of Appeals <br />P.S. I submitted this question to the full Board last night and they agreed unani- <br />mously to support the statements in the above letter. n <br />Both of the above letters are in the Mammola, Robert and Paul folder of Oct. <br />2, 1975 and the folder dated August 13, 1974 (denial of a restaurant). <br />Adjourned 9:00 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Evelyn F. Cole <br />Administrative Clerk <br />BOARD OF APPEALS <br />
