88. APPLICATIONS TO BOARD OF APPEALS
There was a preliminary discussion of cases to be heard by the Board of Appeals on
June 24, 2982. Mr. Bowyer outlined the issues in several cases and the Board indi-
cated its preference for recommendation.
80 Bedford Street: SP, change in non -conforming use r The Board thought an
office use of the former funeral parlor would have more traffic, on a regular
basis, than a funeral parlor. It was agreed to oppose the conversion to
office use and to encourage conversion to a residential use.
Mellex Road, Kiln Brook V: It was agreed that, in view of the traffic to be
generated by this building of more than 100,000 square feet of floor area, the
same recommendation given to the Town Meeting for the Cosgrove-Signatron de-
velopment should apply in this case. It was agreed that Town Counsel should
be requested to give a written opinion as to the effective date and applica-
bility of the revision to Section 3.4 of the Zoning By -Law, which was voted as
Article 57 of this year's. Town Meeting.
