Present: Ruth Morey, Vice Chairman (acting chairman) Irving H. Mabee Thomas G. Taylor Haskell W. Reed, Associate Clarence D. Turner, Associate ' The public hearing scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in regard to the petition of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lincoln Laboratory for a spMecial permit, pursuant to Section 30 and/or Section 25.94, in order that it may erect on premises, owned by it, at 238 Wood Street, a temporary tower, was r-ancelled, the following letter having been received: Dear Mr. Wadsworth: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory hereby requests with- drawal without prejudice of its recent petition for a special permti.t to erect a temporary scaffolding tower on its premises at 238 Wood Street, Lejxington. The public hearing on the petition is scheduled for Thursday, Februartj 23, 1978,.;.at 7:30 P.M. The petition withdrawal is a direct result of an internal Laboratoay decision on Friday, February 17, to dedicate for other purposes the field station building that was also intended to be used for aircraft tracking experiments with the scaffolding tower. The non-availability of the building with its associated test equipment now makes it impossible to conduct the proposed experiments at the field station. We trust that the Board has not been inconvenienced by this unexper-ted change in plans. Also, please be advised that notices regarding the petition withdrawal have been sent to all abutters who received the original notice of the public hearing. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Very truly yours, c/o Henry D. Winslow, Esq. s/s Charles W. Cahalane 50 Congress St., Boston 02109 3.
