The regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen
was held at the Selectmen's Room$ Town Office
Building, July 2, 1929.. Messrs. Burnham, Custanc e,
Chamberlain, Blake and Shannon were present. The
Supt. of Public Works and the Clerk were also
present.
At 7:50 P.M. Mr. Arthur Locke came before the
Board and presented a more complete plan showing
the location of his house and intended location
of his garage on the rear of his premises. He
asked that the Board reconsider their decision
in regard to his application for a permit to build
a,private garage on his premises at which hearing
Mr. Thomas Doherty objected, stating that the
garage would be detrimental to his premises and
would reduce the value.
Mr. Custanee stated that he had been over to
Mr. Locke's property and looked the situation over
and could not see how the garage located its it would
be, would be determ.intal to the property of Mr.
Doherty. He stated that Mr. Locke had a ga den in
the back yard, and there was considerable drop there
and he did not wish to spoil the garden as he had
it fixed up.
Mr. Locke explained that the garage would not
cut off the view from Mr. Doherty, inasmuch as on
that side of the house there was only a small pantry
window and another small window on the landing of
the stairs from which they would not look out anyway.
He did not believe for that reason it would spoil
their .view.
The Board discussed the situation and voted
to withdraw their decision under dateof June 25, 1929
and voted to grant Mr. Locke permission to locate his
garage in accordance with plans filed with the Board
this evening.
