Planning Director <br />a. Mobil Station, Bedford Street: Mr. Bowyer reported that the Board of <br />Appeals had received an application for a special permit for two free- <br />standing signs and a request for a variance to erect a canopy as part of <br />Mobil Oil's "project face-lift" for the Station at Bedford Street and North <br />Hancock Street. He said this was the proto-typical "Route 1" high <br />visibility treatment, with lot line to lot line pavement and not one growing <br />thing. It was agreed that a letter would be sent to the Board of Appeals <br />suggesting that Mobil Oil withdraw its application, and submit a new plan <br />showing ample landscaping and a "toned -down" appearance in keeping with the <br />residential suburban character of Lexington and that immediate neighborhood. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:51 p.m. <br />J <br />Judith J. Uhrgi , Clerk <br />
