Chairman Bowker, Mr. Locke, Mr.. Redman, Mr. Brown and Associate Member Ballard were present at the hearing. The Clerk was also present. At 7,45 P.M., Mr, Richard P. Cassidy entered the meeting. Public -hearing of his petition was held on November 13, 1946, and adjourned until this evenirg. Mr. Cassidy stated that he was not able. to buy any land from Mr. Crown. Though the land is absolutely wofthless, Mr. Crown refuses to sell any part of it. Mr. Cassidy left the Selectmen's Room at 7;50 P.M. At 8;00 P.M., hearing was declared open upon the petition of William A. Barnes for permission to construct a store and locker building at the corner of Lincoln ' Street and School Street on property owned by George W. and Helen B. Saran. Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Brown. 22 persons attended the hearing. Mr. Barnes stated that he wished to construct a food store and locker building at the corner of 5 Forks. The land is zoned for business with a 200 feet frontage. The building will be 50 x 50 and will be used primarily for freezer and locker storage - with approx- imately 450 lockers. The lockers will rent at the current retail rates as controlled by the market. They are primarily for the use of patrons, but they will also have bulk storage for restaurants, hotels and hospitals. There will be an aging room for beef and pork which takes from 4B to 86 hours. Previous to going to the aging room, the meat is placed in a chill room for a period of 24 to 36 house. They"will'handle whole'carcasses, and the meat will stay there until it is ready to be sold. There will be a butcher at the store to out up the meat, and there will be wrapping facilities. The store area will be 20 x 30. Mr. Barnes intends to purchase about 30,000 square feet of land. The build- ing will be erected according to the Building Inspector's regulations. There will be room for a parking area. 11610M 00 C;+ n The building will be of concrete blocks, stuccoed over, with a flat roof pitched to center. It will be one story -with a basement under the front part of the building. The entrance will be on the corner. There will be a gas furnace for heating. A chimney approximately ten feet wide will take care of air conditioning, and ventilhtion. The store hours will be.about 8;30 to 6;00 P.M. Mr. Barnes intends to hire four employees; two butchers, a cashier and a man for general work. It will be primarily a butcher shop. Plans of the building were presented to the Board of Appeals. George Cooper, the owner of Lot #7, asked if there would be any odor from the meat, and Mr. Barnes stated that there would be no more odor than from a regular meat market. The largest amount of pro- cessing would be eleven cattle at once. There would not be much processing of fish. Mr. Lyon stated that he had long wished to be able to hire locker space to store food, but that ' there had been no such place in Lexington. He would like to see a building such as this in the town as it iq a growing business.. Walter Burke, representing Mr. Lowery and Mr. and Mrs. McNamara, abutting owners, voiced objection to this petition as a permit has already been granted to Mr. Lowery on the Apposite corner. In view of the fact that one has already been granted, he does not feel that another one should be given. There may not be a great demand for this type of business for some years to come. Mr. Burke has looked over this site and talked with several people about it, and finds there may be a very serious question of drainage there. The natural condition of the land is one that might be swampy. This is low land and will require a lot of fill. School Street is a two -car road and there may be a serious traffic question if the Board permits this type of establishment due to the fact that there will be a great many trucks bringing in heavy meat. There is a bus stop right in that location as well as a shelter. There are five corners with no stop sign. Mr. Lowery's location is far better as he has an easy way of cutting in and out.. 0 ' Mr. Lowery is a successful man in this type of business. He has places established in Arlington Heights, Winchester and Newton Corner. Mr. Lowery is working on his plant now, but because of shortages of materials, he cannot go along too quickly. As soon as materials are available, he will go right ahead with his project. Mr. Lowery has his building - Mr. Barnes will have to erect his. Mr. Lowery also has adequate drainage into the Town sewer. Randle Haws, 2-9 Lincoln Street, stated that insomuch as Five Forks is zoned for business, two competing business -as would more or less confine the facilities that could be provided in that area. Dorothy McCormick, 72 Eastern Avenue, Arlington, owns a lot of land on Lincoln Street and feels that this build- ing will detract from the value of her property. Mr. Webb, 266 Lincoln Street, stated that when Mr. Lowery was granted his petition he did not oppose, but he does not feel that two businesses are necessary in that location. He wished to go on record as being opposed. ' Mr. Johnson, 263 Lincoln Street, opposes the petition because it is too near his line, and any machinery that is being operated on off hours will be bothersome to him. Also the odor from any refuse will blow his way. Mr. Burke asked the petitioner what study he had made of the drainage problem on his side of the street. Mr. Barnes said there was no more of a drainage problem on his land than there was on Mr. Loweryts. The petitioner also stated that he intends to have a driveway - in and out - the same as� filling station so far as approach is con- cerned. Mr. Haws asked about condensers. Mr. Barnes stated they would be located inside and that the exhaust would be vertical. Eugane Sawyer asked if cattle would be slaughtered on the premises and Mr. Barnes answered that it was not legal in Lexington. Mr. Burke asked the petitioner how much the building would cost and Air. Barnes+ answer was $40,000.00. Answering another question about refuse from Mr. Johnson, the petitioner said that trucks would come out once or twice ' a week to buy the excess fats. Hearing was declared closed at 8;55 P.M. 184 OC At 9;00 P.M., hearing was declared open upon ' the petition of Ethel M. Koester for permission to main- tain and operate a kindergarten on the premises located at ll.Dee Road. Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Ballard. Mrs. Koester and one other persoix were present at the hearing. Mrs. Koester stated that she would like to operate A small kindergarten for not more than ten children. She has a good sized sun -room for them, and there are many children In the neighborhood about the age for kindergarten. There is no private kindergarten in that section. Mrs. Koester was a teacher prior to her marriage and has done substituting since then. Mr. Bowker asked the petitioner the maximum number of children she would handle, and Mrs. Koester said that fifteen would be all that she could care for. Mrs. Koester stated, in answer to another ques- tion from Mr. Bowker, that the hours of the school ' would be 9 to 12. She now has five children. Mr. Bowker asked about transportation and Mrs. Koester stated that she did not intend to furnish it. There will be no signs advertising the school. The petitioner stated that she has a play - yard at the rear of her house which she will fence in with a gate. The,children will be outside about three-quarters of an hour. Mr. Redman asked about exits in case of fire. Mrs. Koester said that the children would have to go through one room. Mrs. Packard, 14 Gleason Road, spoke in favor of granting the petition and asked if Mrs. Koester planned to have any health inspection for the child- ren. Mrs. Packard understands that the Visiting Nurse Association will go to any play school Mrs. Koester said that she had not thought of that as she watches the children very closely herself. She will, however, take Mrs. Packard's suggestion. Hearing was declared closed at 9;30 P.M. LJI ' At 9.12 P.M., hearing was declared open upon the petition of Gail Smith for the alteration of a building into a single family residence at 170 Wood Street. Notice of the hearing was read by Mr. Brown. The petitioner was the only person present at the hearing. Mr. Smith stated that he had sold his house and garage. He has a building which has never been occupied. It was constructed primarily for a hen house and the top floor was to be used for a work shop and office combination. He would like now to put an apartment there. Mr. Bowker asked Mr. Smit# if he was willing to sub -divide his property and Mr. Smith answered yes. The lot has already been surveyed. The first floor of the building will be used for storage and a work shop. The base is made of field stone, and the top section will be wooden. Hearing was declared ' closed at 9;30 P.M. The Board considered the application of Biagio Cacci&la. Upon motion of Mr. Locke, seconded by Mr. Brown, it was unanimously voted that the action taken on Mr. Cacoiolat,s petition be rescinded in view of the fact that this Board does not have any jurisdiction over this case. It was unanimously voted that a letter be forwarded to Mr. Lindstrom, Building Inspector, advising him of the Board's decision. It was also voged that Gail Smith's application be referred to the Building Inspector and that Mr. Bowker be allowed to sign the letter to Mr. Lindstrom for the Board of Appeals. The Board then considered the application of Richard Cassidy. Upon motion of Mr. Locke, seconded by Mr. Brown, it was unanimously voted to grant the application in the following form; BOARD OF APPEALS PERMIT The Board of Appeals, acting under the Lexington Zoning By -Law and General Laws, Chapter 40, Sections 25 to 30A as amended, having received a written ' petition addressed to it by Richard P. Cassidy, a copy of which is hereto annexed, held a public hearing thereon of which notice was mailed to the 186 petitioner and to the owners of all property 1 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 -Adan, a newspaper published in Lexington, which hearing was held in the Selectmen's Room, in the Town Office Building on the eighth day of November, 1946.
