I <br />HEARING}. <br />January 14, 1927. <br />After due notice published in the Lexington Times <br />and sent to some 33 individuals, a well attended hearing <br />under the petition of Justus Shea for amendment of the <br />zoning by-law to establish a business district at 115 <br />Massachusetts Avenuw was held at the Town Offices at S P.M., <br />Friday, January 14, 1927. Messrs. Emery, Duffy and Milne <br />of the Planning Board were present. <br />Mr. R. L. Ryder represented Mr. Shea in favor of <br />the petition, and made the usual claims of benefits to <br />the town. It appeared that Shea bought the front land <br />in 1922, and the back land in 1924 and proposed to build <br />a garage, 50 feet back from the Avenue, and use the back <br />land as an oil depot with side track facilities. <br />Mr. Wm. Murphy favored the petition. <br />Mr. Leo Brean of the American Oil Co. of Cambridge <br />spoke for Shea in regard to the oil business and facilities <br />to be provided. <br />Miss Mitchell favored the petition. <br />Of those who were opposed to the petition, the <br />following spoke: H. L. Coolidge, Mrs. Peavey, Mr.Perkins, <br />Mr. Cummings, Mr. Hanson, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Joy, Mr, <br />H.S.O. Nichols, Mr. Davin, <br />On a call for hands of others than those who <br />spoke, 27 were counted in opposition, and one in favor <br />of the petition. <br />No vote of the Planning Board was taken in the <br />matter at the meeting, but there was strong evidence <br />of the objection of the residents of the vicinity to <br />the granting of the petition. <br />W. D. Milne, <br />Clerk. <br />1 <br />
