ARTHUR N. MADDISON
Chairman, Board of Appeals
The records of tae August 25th meeting were declared
approved.
Mae Board considered the application for the use of
the henry C. Brookings property at 18/20 Waltham Street
for the installation of eight bowling alleys , and inasmuch
as tae premises nave since been sold and are to be used
for other purposes, there was no occasion for further action.
At 8 :15 P. M. adjourned hearing was declared open
upon the application of Mary D. Hatch for permission to
maintain two signs on the property located between Watertown
Street and the Concord Turnpike.
Mrs . Hatch, Mr . R. W. Maynard, Miss Lilly Johannson,
Mr. F. W. Coleman, and Mr . George Foster were present at
the hearing.
The notice of the hearing was read by Clerk Robbins .
Mrs. Hatch said that she received notice of the original
hearing the morning she was leaving on her vacation, and she
asked someone to represent her, but that person, through
some misunderstanding, did not appear . She said that the
signs had been up for about two months , one facing Watertown
Street and the other facing the Turnpike . She said that
there were seven lots ready for sale, and the idea is to lay
out more after these have been sold.
50
Mr. Ferguson asked how large these signs were, and
she said t zey were 41 by 61 .
Mr. Maynard said he wished to be recorded in favor of
the granting of the permit, and felt that the signs were
for the best good of the town, as they are intended to
draw people to buy lots and build homes . He said that he
was connected with the Lexington Lumber Company, and had an
interest in land for development anywhere.
Miss Johannson said that she owned the property ad-
joining Mrs. Hatch' s . She wanted to know whether or not
if and when she filed an application for signs of a similar
size Mrs. Hatch would oppose her petition.
The Chairman said that that was a private matter
between Mrs. Hatch and herself.
Miss Johannson said that she wanted some assurance
that if she did not oppose Mrs. Hatch's petition and the
Board granted it, it would also act favorably on her peti-
tion. The Chairman told her that the Board of Appeals
could not tell her how it would feel when her application
came up.
Mrs . Hatch said that she would not give any blanket
approval of any sign until she knew what size and kind
of sign was to be erected.
Miss Johannson said that if she was forced to submit
her sign to Mrs. Hatch for approval, she thought Mrs . Hatch
should give her the same privilege.
The Chairman said that the Board could not ask Mrs.
Hatch to give her approval or disapproval.
Miss Johanson said she would withdraw her opposition.
The group retired.
The Board considered the application of Mary D. Hatch
for the maintenance of two signs on her development located
between Watertown Street and the Concord Turnpike for the
purpose of advertising the development upon which they are
located. The Board felt that the signs were of neat appear-
ance, and as it had been stated that they were 4' x 61 in
size, t_zat the permit should be granted.
Upon motion of Mr. Maddison, seconded by Mr. Ferguson,
it was unanimously voted to grant the petition in the
following form:
BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT

Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition

51
which hearing was held in the Selectmen' s xoom, in the Town

The Board considered the application of Charles I.
Gragg for the use of the premises at 18/20 Waltham Street
for the extraction by laboratory process of essences.
The Board was advised by the Town Counsel that in his
opinion such a use would come under the category of light
manufacturing and would be allowable only in an M. 1
District, and it was unanimously voted that the permit be
denied in the following fdrm:
The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws,
Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition
addressed to it by Charles I. Gragg, 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 Minute-Man, a newspaper pub-
lished in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Sel-
ectmen' s Room, in the Town Office Building on August 4, 1939.
57
II One Associate and two 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 he wished
to lease the premises at 18/20 Waltham Street; that he wished
to install equipment necessary for the extraction of
essences, particularly those of vanilla and ginger, the sale
of which is made to the bottling trade; that their customers
were spread over a large territory, including South America;
that there were no objectionable odors in connection with
the processes; that they carried no stock in volatile liquids,
with the exception of alcohol, which would not be in excess
of fifty gallons; that if they did not lease this property
they might try to secure some other location within the Town
or go elsewhere.
Evidence was offered on behalf of citizens opposing the
granting of the said petition tending to show that the result
of having this kind of an establishment within the neighbor-
hood was entirely unknown; that there might be objectionable
odors and that a manufacturing business was not permissable
in a C . 1 district.
The Board in private session on September 29, 1939,
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 not be substantially served by the making of the
exception requested.
2. That the exception requested will tend to impair
the status of the neighborhood.
3. That the exception requested will not be in harmony
with the general purposes and intent of the regulations in
the Lexington Zoning By-law.
4. That the enforcement of the Lexington Zoning By-law
as to the locus in question would not involve practical
difficulty and unnecessary hardship and the relief requested
may not be granted without substantial detriment to the public
good and without substantially derogating from the intent
and purpose of such Lexington Zoning By-law.
Pursuant to the said findings, the Board hereby denies
the said petition of Charles I. Gregg for the extraction of
essences on the premises at 18/20 Waltham Street for the
reason that such a use is considered to be light manufac-
turing and consequently restricted to a M.l.zone .
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
58

hearing, including that summarized, and directs that this
record immediately following this decision shall be filed
