REPORTS
138. Planning Director
a. Mobil Station, Bedford Street: Mr. Bowyer reported that the Board of
Appeals had received an application for a special permit for two free-
standing signs and a request for a variance to erect a canopy as part of
Mobil Oil's "project face-lift" for the Station at Bedford Street and North
Hancock Street. He said this was the proto-typical "Route 1" high
visibility treatment, with lot line to lot line pavement and not one growing
thing. It was agreed that a letter would be sent to the Board of Appeals
suggesting that Mobil Oil withdraw its application, and submit a new plan
showing ample landscaping and a "toned -down" appearance in keeping with the
residential suburban character of Lexington and that immediate neighborhood.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:51 p.m.
