1
A meeting of the Board of Appeals was held in the Select-
men 's Room, Town Office Building, at 8 00 P.M. Chairman
Maddison, Messrs. Glynn, Ferguson, Kimball and Robbins were
present. The Secretary was also present.
At 8 00 P M. hearing was declared open on the application
of the Ross Realty Corp. for permission to maintain two real
estate signs on Mass. Avenue and Wood Street advertising the
land on which they are floated. Notice of the hearing was
read by Clerk Robbins.
Mr. Jeremiah O 'Hearn appeared representing the petitioner.
He stated that the idea was to develop the strip of land
located on Mass. Avenue between Old County Road and Wood
Street. They would like to put two signs up and they would
have to be rather large signs in order to be seen as they
would have to be put in a hollow. They plan to put one sign
placed diagonally on the top of the hill facing Concord, and
one sign placed diagonally near Wood Street facing Lexington.
This is so people going each way could see the signs. The
Chairman asked how much it was planned to develop there and
Mr. O'Hearn said that for the present time it was planned to
develop only the front strip along Mass . Avenue which was
probably 1800 feet in length. The Chairman asked if one sign
placed properly would not be visible,, and Mr. O1Ilearn said
that the people coming from Concord probably would pass right
"by it , although people going toward Concord could see it .
Mr Clynn asked how hear the corner of Wood Street and Mass.
Avenue they planned to put the sign and Mr. O 'Hearn said
that that had not been determined yet. Mr. Ferguson asked
if the siGns were to be lighted up at night end Mr. O1Hearn
said that he did not know but did not think so. The Chairman
asked how far from the ground the signs would be , and O1Hearn
said that they would have to be on posts about 81 high,
There being no other questions, Mr. OfHearn retired.
No one appeared in opposition.
The petition of the Ross Realty Corp for a permit for
two signs on Mass. Ave. between Wood Street and Old County
Road was considered, and no one opposing the granting of the
petition, the Board, after considering the matter, unanimously
voted to grant the permit in the following form.
