Munroe for permission to maintain the pony riding school for children on the premises located on the southerly side of Woburn Street about one hundred and fifty (150) feet from the junction of Woburn and Lowell Streets for another year. Mr. Munroe and Mr. Barber, who operates the pony track, and the latter's son were present at the hearing. Munroe said that there was nothing new, and that he would like the permit renewed. The Chairman asked if the same person was going to run the school, and Mr. Munroe replied in the affirmative. The Chairman asked if there were any changes, and Lam. Munroe said that there were not. The Chairman asked if they had any trouble with the neighbors, and IVIr. Munroe said that they had not. He asked if they had any trouble keeping the cars off the road, and Mr. Barber replied in the negative. He said that they did not open on week days - merely on Saturdays and Sundays. No persons appearing in opposition, the hearing was declared closed at 8:10 P. M. The three persons retired. The record of the meeting held on May 1, 1942 was declared approved. At 8:10 P. M. hearing was declared open upon petition of R. Lockwood Tower, et al, for permission to maintain the existing real estate office and sign on lots 51A and 52A Follen Road. Mr. W. S. Caouette appeared for the petitioner. He said that the sign and the building were the same as last year. The sign has been re -painted, and the grass has been kept mowed. They have had no complaints. The hearing was declared closed at 8:13 P. M. U 5 9M At 8:20 P. M. hearing was declared open upon the petition of Frank A. Napoli for a renewal of his permit to maintain the roadside stand on Marrett Road. Mr. Napoli appeared in favor of the granting of the petition. He said that there were no changes. No other persons appearing, the hearing was declared closed at 8:25 P. M. At 8:30 P. M, hearing was declared open upon petition of A. Horace Weene for permission to subdivide six lots located between #977 and #1009 Mass. Ave., Lexington into twelve smaller lots having approximately the same area. Mr. Weene, Mrs. Alice S. Kennedy of 1009 Mass. Ave., Mrs. Margaret Kelley of 17 Spencer Street, and Mr. Edward F. Buttrick of 996 Mass. Ave. were present at the hearing. Mr. Weene said that about one year ago he purchased the land on Massachusetts Avenue between #977 and #1009. After investigating the contour of the land, he found that there was a proposed extension of Spencer Street, and that the parcel was in a two-family zone. He said that it was difficult to put in two-family houses because of the pro- posed street, and the contour of the land. He applied to the Federal Housing Authority for permission to go ahead with a development, and has received an acknowledgment of the application and has been advised that it has been sent to the National Housing Association for approval. Mr. Weene said that the F. H. A. was severe in its restrictions as to where a house shall be built. Mr. Weene said that a two-family house, with one apart- ment above the other, brought to mind tenements. He said that he did not like this type of house, and neither did the F. H. A. The latter suggested a "dwelling unit", which is a one -family house. However, the cost of the land and the utility service would not allow this. The F. H. A. allows only 50' of service for each dwelling unit. The Chairman asked if they would allow more for a house with more area, and Mr. Weene replied in the negative. Mr. Weene said that in building these six houses, it would be at least five years before he got any return on his money. The Chairman asked why it would take less pipe to take care of serving these houses if the lots were split than if they were not split. Mr. Weene said that a main was required; there is no main in the street. Once the eligibility of a house is determined, then it goes from the F. H. A. to the War Production Board. • 0 Upon motion of Mr. Locke, seconded by Mr. Lombard, it was unanimously voted to grant the hunroe petition in the following form: � I* .37 Mr. Weene said that these houses would not be considered eligible had they been singles, as this is a two-family zone. He said that he was required by the F. H. A. to build a two- family house - either a duplex, or one with an upstairs and a downstairs. The exterior of the house is the same as a single residence, and has a single entrance. The subdivision is in theory, only. The Chairman asked if the lots were to be recorded separately, and Mr. Weene replied in the affirmative. The Chairman said that as soon as they are recorded, they become two separate properties. He asked what would prevent, in the h future, the sale of any one of the smaller sub -divisions with its portion of the house on it. Mr. Weene said that this would be prevented only because of an economic point of view. He said that he had never known of duplex houses being sold in separate units. Post houses of this sort are owned by a corporation, and this is a corp- oration. He is the corporation. He said that he was going to be very particular about the class of people he allowed in the apartments. The Chairman said that if these became separate proper- ties, then they could be sold as individual units. The lots will be definitely sub -divided and recorded. Mr. Weene said that they would be, but with the restriction that one unit would be built on two lots. Mr. Weene said that if his petition was granted, he had a builder ready to go right ahead - he has his materials and labor, etc. The Chairman asked if Mr. Weene would continue to own the houses, and he replied in the affirmative. No other persons appeared in favor of the granting of the petition. Mr. Buttrick asked what would hap)en to the Right of Way near the old Spaulding property, and Mr. Weene said that there was a Right of Way from Spencer Street, but not from Mass. Ave. The Chairman asked Mr. Buttrick if his interest was to find out if the Right of Way was to remain there, and he said that it was. He said it was all right the way it appeared on the plan. The Chairman asked if he had any objection, and he replied in the negative. Mrs. Kennedy and Mrs. Kelley said that they merely were looking for information, and had no objection. No other persons desiring to be heard, the hearing was declared closed at 9:15 P. M. The group retired. Upon motion of Mr. Locke, seconded by Mr. Lombard, it was unanimously voted to grant the hunroe petition in the following form: � I* .37 r: BOARD OF APPEALS PERIJIT The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 4.03, Sec. 27. having received a written petition addressed to it by Howard M. Munroe, 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 Lex- ington Minute -Man, a newspaper published in Lexington which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on the 4th day of September, 1942. Three Associates and two members of the Board of Appeals were present at the hearing. A certificate of notice is hereto annexed.

No persons appeared in opposition. At the close of the hearing the Board in private session on September 4, 1942 gave consideration to the subject of the petition and voted unanimously in favor of the following findings: 1.

The hearing will be held on September 4, 1942 at 8:20 P. M. in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, Lex- ington, Mass. C. EDWARD GLYNN Chairman, Board of Appeals • • Inl!,considering the a lication of A. Horace Weene for subdivision of lots located between 977 and 1009 Mass. Ave., the Board was actuated in its decision by the fact that this appeared to be purely for the convenience of the applicant, in order to allow him to secure permits from the F. H. A., and financing from the same source, by erecting duplex houses so that the line of the subdivision of eachlof the existing lots became the center line parti- tion ofl each house. The result of this would be to create lots ofrecord with frontages as little as thirty-seven (37'), and with areas as little as 3,750 feet. Once recorded, these subdivisions could in the future be sold as individual lots, which would entirely nullify the intent of the Town in establishing frontages and areas for all subdivisions. It would also nullify the provision of the Zoning Law for setbacks on the side lines of the property. Upon motion of Pair. Lombard, seconded by Mr. Brown, it was unanimously voted to deny the petition in the following form: The Board of Appeals, acting under General Laws, Chapter 40, Sec. 27, having received a written petition addressed to it by A. Horace Weene, 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 tney appear on the most recent local tax list, and also advertised in the Lexington Minute -Man, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on September 4, 1942. Three Associates 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 owns plots of land between 977 and 1009 Mass. Ave. extending in the rear to the Boston & Maine Railroad Right of Way; that this property is divided into six recorded lots varying in area from 8,750 feet to 13,283 feet; that to accord with regulations of the Federal Housing Authority covering permits to build and the financing thereof, he wished to subdivide each of these lots into two smaller lots of more or less equal size, by a line running down approximately the center of each lot, with the intention of building thereon duplex houses so that one-half of each such house would be situated on each of the sub -divisions of the large lots; the party line of the lot also being the dividing partition between the two parts of each house; that he in- tended to erect an attractive form of duplex dwelling for rental. 0 X47 Md 6 Evidence was offered on behalf of citizens opposing the granting of the said petition tending to show: No evidence was offered opposing the granting of the petition. At the close of the hearing session on September 4, 1942 gave subject of the petition and voted of the following findings; 1. That in its judgment the welfare will not be substantially the exception requested. the Board in private consideration to the unanimously in favor public convenience and served by the making of 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 A. Horace Weene, because such a sub- division as proposed would be contrary to the intent of the Lexington Zoning By-law, in that it would make it possible to establish in practice lot sizes not over one-half as large as those provided for by such by-law, and it would be possible for each such sub -division to be separately transferred at some future time. It would also nullify the by-law provision that on each side of a dwelling or other permitted main structure there shall be provided a side yard of at least 10' in width, which shall be kept open from the front line of the main structure to the rear line thereof. 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 Clerk of Lexington and shall be a public record and that notice of this decision shall be mailed forthwith to each party in interest. • is • BOARD OF APPEALS OF LEXINGTON (Appointed under G.L.Ch. 40, sec. 27) C.
