HEARING}.
January 14, 1927.
After due notice published in the Lexington Times
and sent to some 33 individuals, a well attended hearing
under the petition of Justus Shea for amendment of the
zoning by-law to establish a business district at 115
Massachusetts Avenuw was held at the Town Offices at S P.M.,
Friday, January 14, 1927. Messrs. Emery, Duffy and Milne
of the Planning Board were present.
Mr. R. L. Ryder represented Mr. Shea in favor of
the petition, and made the usual claims of benefits to
the town. It appeared that Shea bought the front land
in 1922, and the back land in 1924 and proposed to build
a garage, 50 feet back from the Avenue, and use the back
land as an oil depot with side track facilities.
Mr. Wm. Murphy favored the petition.
Mr. Leo Brean of the American Oil Co. of Cambridge
spoke for Shea in regard to the oil business and facilities
to be provided.
Miss Mitchell favored the petition.
Of those who were opposed to the petition, the
following spoke: H. L. Coolidge, Mrs. Peavey, Mr.Perkins,
Mr. Cummings, Mr. Hanson, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Joy, Mr,
H.S.O. Nichols, Mr. Davin,
On a call for hands of others than those who
spoke, 27 were counted in opposition, and one in favor
of the petition.
No vote of the Planning Board was taken in the
matter at the meeting, but there was strong evidence
of the objection of the residents of the vicinity to
the granting of the petition.
W. D. Milne,
Clerk.
