M. on Wednesday, October 3, 1979, in the Selectman's <br /> Meeting Room, Town Office Building, Lexington. Present were <br /> Commissioners John R. Packard, Chairman; Georgia H. Williams, <br /> Secretary, John L. Davies, S. Lawrence Whipple; and Associate <br /> Commissioner Howard C. Nason. <br /> At 8:05 a hearing was held on the application of Richard <br /> E. and Emilie A. Allen to replace the homasote siding on their <br /> home at 480 Massachusetts Avenue with red cedar shingles. <br /> Samples of both materials were observed and the superiority of the <br /> latter was obvious. It was accordingly VOTED to approve the re- <br /> quest, the shingles to be treated with a "bleaching" stain, and <br /> the trim to be a Williamsburg blue, with the selection of which <br /> Mrs. Williams agreed to assist the applicant. <br /> After approval of the routine monthly bills, the second hear- <br /> <br /> ' ing of the night commenced at 8:30, on the request by Lexington <br /> Center Realty Associates for a second floor addition to its prem- <br /> ises at 1760-1762 Massachusetts Avenue. Mr. Dean Nicholson, a~~ <br /> and Mr. Louis J. Didio, engineer, presented the scale . <br /> drawings. It was quickly noticed that there would be a second <br /> floor only, supported by steel columns. All members had reserva- <br /> tions about the street level appearance of such a plan, and it was <br /> therefore agreed to postpone a decision on the matter until after <br /> an on-site inspection of the premises on October 10. <br /> -1- <br /> <br />
