(The following order entered by error. ) The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by Lexington Coal Company a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which notice Was -mailed to the petitioner and to the owners of all property deemed by the Board to be affected thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list, and also advertised in the Lexington Times-Minute Man, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen' s Room in the Town Office Building on the 26th day of January 1932 at 8 o 'clock P.M. All of the members of the Board of Appeals were present . at the hearing. After hearing the evidence offered by the petitioner and such other evidence as was offered, the Board in private 1 session at a meeting held Jan.29, 1932, gave consideration to the subject of the petition and a majority of the Board voted that in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served by the use of the 1. 67 premises described in the petition and that such use will not tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. . The Board therefore determines that the application of section 6 ( c) in Cl Districts and Sec. 9 of the Lexington Zoning By-law permits the use of the premises described in the petition , and instructs the Inspector of Buildings of Lexington to grant a permit therefor. The five, tanks referred to in the petition are to be at least two feet underground in a location approximately as shawncnn plan on file with the Town Clerk, four of the tanks to be used for fuel oil only, and one for gasoline and no gasoline to. be sold at retail on the premises. This permit is granted an the .further condition that unless the tanks are installed within one year, this permit shall become null and void. The Board therefore determines that the use of the premises described in the petition is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the Lexington Zoning By-law. A. N. Maddison Roland W.
