l- This location is in a General Residential section and according to
Article 2, section 2 of the Zoning By-Laws of the To,mu Of North Andove~,
there is no provision for the erection of a road side s~and in a General
Residential District.
2~ Article 6, section 2,. paragraph (a) ~f the Zoning By-Laws related to
the kind of permits which the Board of Appeals has the authorazation to
grant, does not provide for the granting of variances for the erection
of fruit stands in a General Reisdential District.
3-The Board of Appeals does not deem this an exceptional case, which will
support a real need anddoes not feel that it can exercise its rights to
grant a permit such as this under Article 5, sectionl, paragraph (e).
40 On the other hand, the Board finds that the gra~ting of this permit
would b~ in violation in general of the Zoning By-Laws, Article 6,'
Section 1,~ paragraph (d) which prohibits the Board of Appeals from
granting permits which would amount to an amendment of the By-Laws.
Notion was made and seconded and it was VOTED that this meeting would
