space and a special permit for a standing sign. Parties in interest were notified
of the continued hearing which had begun on September 27.
Chronology of Events since 9/27/79 re. 186 Bedford St.

provide additional parking spaces and including buffer strips of evergreen shrubs
or stockade fence, either of which would be a shield to the residential abutters.

review the petition and information presented at the hearing and offered further
advice.
10/16/79 - Petitioner, by letter to the Chairman from Gerald S. Harris, President
of Mystic Valley Mental Health, asked to withdraw without prejudice the petition
for alterations and re -building of their current structure on Bedford St. in

find that our petition is perhaps premature. We should like to re -think it and
re -submit it at a,later date more appropriately refined."
10/18/79 - Mr. Wright, representing Mystic Valley Mental Health Association, asked
if it was possible for the Board to consider the much needed sign inasmuch as the

tions and re -building of the current structure on Bedford St. without prejudice.
