Chairman Maddison, Messrs. Glynn, rerguson, Robbins, and Kimball!..were present. The ''ecretary,was also present. Mr. Glynn moved that Mr. Arthur N. Maddison be elected Chairman of the Board. Mr. Ferguson seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Glynn moved that Mr. Howard 1�. Robbins be elected Clerk of the board. Mr. Ferguson seconded the motion and it was so voted. At 7:30 P. M. hearing was declared open on the application of Guiseppe Cacciola for permission to maintain a roadside stand for the sale of produce grown on the property at 708 Marrett Road. The notice of the hearing was read by the Clerk. Mr. Cacciola appeared in favor of the petition. The Qhairman asked him where the property was in connection with 'the Martin farm and he replied that it was just opposite. The ' ffiairman asked him if he had ever raised vegetables there before And he said that he.had not inasmuch as he had moved in early last Fall. The `hairman asked him if he had ever had a road -- side ,stand before, and he replied that he had one in Concord. The chairman asked him if he would raise his vegetables or buy them, and he replied that he would raise all that he would sell. The Chairman asked him if it was good tillable soil and if it had been used fora garden before and he replied that it had not been used for this purpose for a great many years. The "hairman asked Cacciola what arrangements he had thought of making with regard to the parking of cars. He replied that there was ple}ity of space right in front of the house and on both sides. The Chairman asked him how near the house was from where he wanted to locate the stand, and he said that it was forty or fifty feet. There is a driveway all around the house. Mr. Ferguson asked how far back from Marrett hoed the stand would be apd he was, advised that it would be thirty-five or forty feet. 'here are twelve acres in the parcel. Mr. Glynn asked Cacciola howl long the stand would be and he replied that it would be eighteen or twenty feet long and twelve feet wide, with a roof. He said that he wanted to build a stand with a roof so that the vefetables could be put inside at night or when it was raining* he roof would be of roofing paper and the sides matched board or shingles all around. Where would be a door in the center with a window on either side. Mr. Ferguson asked him if he had a plan of the stand and he informed him that he did not. Mr. Kimball asked him if he was going to build it himself and he replied in the affirmative. 164 At 7:45 P. M. hearing was declared open on the applic& tion of William J. dosgrove for permission to alter the house at 30 Grove Street to.accomdate more than one family. Mr. Cosgrove appeared. He stated that the application was incorrect as the house had been a two family house for 45 years and his application was for permission to modernize it. He purchased the house as a two family house in 1919. In the Fall of 1924, the late Mrs. F. P. Simonds asked Mrs. Cosgrove if she would let three rooms to a friend of hers, which she -did and they were there part of 1924 and 1925. Since that.time the Cosgroves have always used the house th elves. Mr. 'Oosgrove wished to modernize the house now as higetting married and he and his son are in business together. `there will be only one boy left at home when this one gets married and they will not need ten rooms. The present chimneys have no flues and Mr. Cosgrove intends to take these down and to put up a three flue chimney, put in a new carrying beam and change the plumbing. The Chairman asked if there were two kitchens in the house in 1924 when the Zoning Law went into effect, and he , said that there were and that there still are two kitchens. Two families could live in the house as it is now. The The chairman asked him if the Board did not think it proper to issue a permit for a building, if he would still want a permit for a stand without a top or sides. He said that he would not, that he would have to have a roof. He would put the stand on cement posts. the Chairman told him that if a permit were granted, it would be for one year only. Mr. Cacciola said that he realized this. No persons appeared in opposition. The hearing was declared closed at 7:45 P. M. The Chairman said that `i`oros Bashian called him and said that Cacciola's soil was very poorandhe did not think that he could raise vegetables and in the second place, he thought that Cacciola would buy the vegetables rather than raise them ss he had done this in Concord. Mr. Ferguson thought that if the Board was going to grant a permit for something as permanent as this stand, that Cacciola should present a plan. However, he thought it would be foolish to ask him to bring in a plan if the Board did not feel disposed toward granting the application. He said that he would much prefer to give him the right to sell from a temporary stand and then if he was not all right, that he would not have as much If an investment as if he had erected a permanent stand. The Chairman instructed the Secretary to notify Mr. Cacciola that the Board was undecided as to whether they would permit the construction of a permanent building and that they would ' like more information as to how he could arrange for parking automobiles and the type of stand he was going to build, and that the matter would be taken up again on May 22nd. At 7:45 P. M. hearing was declared open on the applic& tion of William J. dosgrove for permission to alter the house at 30 Grove Street to.accomdate more than one family. Mr. Cosgrove appeared. He stated that the application was incorrect as the house had been a two family house for 45 years and his application was for permission to modernize it. He purchased the house as a two family house in 1919. In the Fall of 1924, the late Mrs. F. P. Simonds asked Mrs. Cosgrove if she would let three rooms to a friend of hers, which she -did and they were there part of 1924 and 1925. Since that.time the Cosgroves have always used the house th elves. Mr. 'Oosgrove wished to modernize the house now as higetting married and he and his son are in business together. `there will be only one boy left at home when this one gets married and they will not need ten rooms. The present chimneys have no flues and Mr. Cosgrove intends to take these down and to put up a three flue chimney, put in a new carrying beam and change the plumbing. The Chairman asked if there were two kitchens in the house in 1924 when the Zoning Law went into effect, and he , said that there were and that there still are two kitchens. Two families could live in the house as it is now. The 165 Chairman asked him if he would have only one front door and he replied that he would, and only one heater. The Chairman asked if there were any other two family houses in the vicinity, and he said that there were not, Mr, ulynn asked Mr. Cosgrove if the Board granted him a permit to alter the house for his family's use if he would be satisfied and he said that he would and that he would not want strangers in the house. He could have rented the house before but he did not. The Chairman read a card received from Miss Willa Kilcup stating that she had no objection to the granting of the permit. No persons appeared in opposition.and the hearing was declared closed at 8:00 P. M. Mr. Glynn stated that Mr. Cosgrove talked to him about the matter and he advised Mr. ''osgrove that he thought the case was worth putting before the Board of Appeals. He thought it was a question as to whether or not it would be worth while to grant the permit with the provision that the house be occupied by the present occupant and his son. It was voted to grant the permit in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under general Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by William J. Cosgrove, 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 appgear on the most recent tax list and also advertised in the ear Minute-Man, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Jelectmen's xoom, in the Town Office Building on the 8th day of May, 1936. All of the members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That the house at 30 Grove Street was occupied by two families prior to 1919, and there are still two kitchens in the house; that the petitioner now desires to rent a portion of the house to his son. No persons appeared in opposition. At the close of the hearing, the Board in private session on May 8th, 1936, gavd consideration to the subject of the pe- tition and voted unanimously in favor of the following findings: 1. That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served by the making of the exception re- quested. 2. That the exception requested will not tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. 3. That the exception requested will be in harmony with ' the general purposes and intent of the regulations in the Lexington Zoning By-law. 166 4. That owing to conditions especially affecting the said parcel but not affecting generally the Zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provi- sions of the ''exington Zoning By-law as to the locus in question would involve substantial hardship to the petitioner and that desirable relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law. Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unanimously decides that the application of the said Lexington Zoning By- law is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to permit the occupancy of the house at 30 Orove Street by two families so long as the petitioner or members of his family are the occu- pants of the two tenements, with the understanding that n+e alteration is to be made in the exterior of the house which will make it appear to be a two family dwelling.

HOWARD W. ROBBINS lerk, oard of Appeals. ' April 16, 1936. Lexin�ton Board of Zoning "ppeals own Office Building Lexington, Mass. Gentlemen: The undersigned hereby petition the Lexington Board of Appeals, appointed under General Laws, �Ihapter 40, Section 27, to vary the application of section 9F of the Lexington Zoning By-law with respect to the premises atMarrett Road owned by Frank A. & Mary Napoli of 23 Middle 6treet by per- mitting the following: Maintenance of present roadside stand for sale of products of the land only.

M. in the selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, Lexing- ton, Mass. Arthur N. Maddison Chairman, Board of Appeals. At 8:15 P. M,, hearing was declared open on the appli- cation of Robert 1'. & Gordon P. Merriam for permission to lease the building at 7 Oakland Street a printing and publishing business. &'A" Messrs. " . J. Rmery, Fletcher 'raft, Calvin 41. "hilds, Alan Adams, James H. Lewis, D. J. O'Connell and Robert Co Merriam appeared before the Board. `jhe notice of the hearing was read by the Clerk. Mr. Merriam stated that the hearing had been called at his request to obtain permission, if possible, to lease the factory building to the Lexington Townsman, Inc. for the purpose of running a printing and publishing business. This building was built in 1871 or 1872 at a time when there was ' no other building of any kind on Oakland Jtreet. Since the residences have been built, Mr. Merriam's grandfather, his father, and he himself have always endeavored to keep the grounds and building in good shape. The manufacture of shoe findings which had been carried on there was classed as light manufacturing operation and the business that is being con- templated'for the building now is a local business and is also classed as light manufacturing. He thought the print - Ing and publIshing business would be no more objectionable than the manufacture of shoe findings. Mr. 'dams, the owner of the paper, is a resident of the town and Mr. Merriam thought that he surely would appreciate the desirability of keeping the premises in good condition, and he hoped that the Board would act favorably on the petition. 'he Chairman asked if he was correct in his understand- ing that Mr. Merriam would be satisfied if the Board could see its way clear to grant the permission so long as the Lexington Townsman, Inc. was the occupant of the building. The Lexington townsman, Inc. is leasing the building for a period of three years. Mr. Merriam said that he would be satisfied if this decision was limited to the Townsman with the understanding that at the end of the three year period, he could have another hearing if he had a chance to rent the building. Mr. Glynn asked Mr. Merriam if he contemplated making ' any changed in the outside of the building and he replied in the negative. He then asked if the publishing business would occupy the whole structure and Mr. "dams stated that there would be some waste room but that they hoped to use it later on. Mr. Glynn asked how much noise there might be from the 172 presses. Mr. Adams stated that it was not a heavy noise and the only thing that made noise was the large press that prints the paper. the noise does not carry outside. Mr. Merriam stated that he did not think that there would be much more noise than when the sewing machines were used. Mr. Kimball asked if the press would ever be run on Sundays. Mr. 'dams replied in the negative. Mr. Glynn asked if there was any more fire hazard to the printing business than to any other type of light manu- facturing and Mr. "dams stated that he did not think so, but that it was a matter of keeping the shop clean. The . building is sprinkler protected. Mr. Calvin e. Childs stated that he was in favor of granting the permit. In 1925 he purchased a piece .of pro- perty adjoining the factory, which is now in his aunt's name, but he holds a mortgage on it. He stated that he hoped the Merriams could still run the factory as they always had. He did not like to see the factory torn down and thought that it looked more like an assembly hall than a factory. He said that if the building was torn down, it would leave an open space so that the Boston & Maine railroad track would be visible. He said that he would rather see the factory than the railroad. Mr. Everett S. Amery stated that he hoped the petition would be granted. He has lived on Stetson Street for thirty years and has never had occasion to find fault with the way the grounds are kept or from the noise. He said that he was near enough now so that he would be annoyed by any great amount of noise. Mr. Kimball stated that the Episcopal Church had no objection as long as the plant was not run on Sundays. No persons appeared in opposition and the hearing was declared closed at 8:40 P. M. Mr. Glynn stated that he did not think the Board had any right to keep the Merriams from using the building if there was no objection from the neighbors. The Chairman stated that it had been brought out by the evidence that the building had always been kept in good repair and he wondered what chances there would be of keeping it in good repair if there was no money coming in. If the property was torn down, he thought that people would not want to put up expensive houses so near the railroad. It was voted to grant the permit in the following form: BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT the Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having.received a written petition addressed to it by Robert C. & Gordon P. Merriam, 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 M 1 173 thereby as they appear on the most recent local tax list and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -Man, a newspaper published in Lexinton, which hearing was held in the belect- men's Room, in the Twn Office building on the 8th day of May, 1936. All of the members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed. At this hearing evidence was offered on behalf of the petitioner tending to show: That the building at 7 Oakland Street had been used for a great many years up to recently as a shoe finding factory; this business is no longer carried on in the property, and the premises are now vacant. The owners have a proposition to rent the building to the Lexington townsman, Inc. for the operation of a printing and publishing business. The building as well as the adjoining land had been well taken care of, and inasmuch as the proposal could not be accepted owing to this being a different non -conforming use from that when the Zoning Laws want into effect, the petitioner desired a permit from the Board of Appeals. Two owners of near -by property were in favor of granting the permit to assure a continuance of the present well -kept appearance of the property. No persons appeared in opposition. At the close of the hearing the Board in private session on .May 8, 1936 gave consideration to the subject of the petition and voted unanimously in favor of the following findings: 1. That in its judgment the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served by the making of the ex- ception requested. 2. That the exception requested will not tend to impair the status of the neighborhood. 3. That the exception requested will be-in:harmony with the general purposes and intent of the regulations in the Lex- ington Zoning By -Law. 4. That owing to conditions especially affecting the said parcel but not affecting generally the Zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Lexington Zoning By -Law as to the locus in question would involve substantial hardship to the petitioner and that desirable relief may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such Lexington 4oning By-law. Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby unanimously decides that the application of the said Lexington Zoning Bylaw is hereby varied so far as may be necessary to permit the use and occupation of the building at 7 Oakland street for the printing and publishing business by the Lexington Townsman, Inc. to continue until July 1, 1939, or so long thereafter as the Lexington Townsman, Inc. is controlled by the present owners. This permit is granted on the further condition that no print- ing presses or other machinery shall be operated on Sunday, and that the exterior of the building and surroundings shall be ' kept in good repair and condition. 174 The Board hereby makes a detailed record of all its proceedings relative to such petition and hereby sets forth that the reasons for its decision are its findings herein- before set forth and the testimony presented at the said hearing, including that herein summarized, and directs that this record immediately following this decision shall be filed in the office of the Town ulerk of Lexington and shall be opgn to public inspection and that notice of this decision shall be mailed forthwith to each party in interest.
