ADDENDUM "A"
250 POLPIS ROAD
The Nantucket Board of Appeals granted Special Permit relief in Decision No. 34-16 to
the Owner Applicant, Polpis Harbor, LLC, on October 11, 2016 permitting the conversion of a
pre-existing and non -conforming garage to a pool house/cabana substantially in accordance with
HDC Certificate of Appropriateness No. 63521 and Nantucket Conservation Commission Order
of Conditions No. SE48-2779. The property at issue is located at 250 Polpis Road and shown as
Lots A-3 and A-7 on Land Court Plan Nos. 13443-D and 13443-E at the Nantucket Registry
District for the Land Court and also shown as Parcel 27 on Nantucket Assessor's Map 26
("Property"). The Property is located in the Limited Use General -3 Zoning District. The garage
on the property is sited within the required 35' minimum front yard setback area and is
approximately 8.6 feet from the easterly front yard lot line at its closest point.
During the course of the conversion of the garage to a pool house, which included
reduction of the size of the structure by 10 feet, the Owner's contractor dismantled the garage
and stored this garage material on site. During the renovation, it was determined that several of
the support timbers were compromised by rot. In addition, with the removal of the one wall to
reduce the size of the structure and the garage doors, it left three unstable walls that made it very
difficult to install a new foundation with the three walls staying in place. The structure was
removed from its location and stored on site with the goal of replacing the reconfigured structure
back on the site and completed as originally approved. Although Special Permit Decision No.
34-16 did not explicitly allow demolition of the garage, the contractor interpreted the
"conversion" of the garage to the "new" pool house, which included substantial reconstruction,
including removal of the structure in order to comply with the HDC Certificate of
Appropriateness.
The Owner is seeking a Modification of the Special Permit relief granted in Decision No.
034-16 to allow the dismantling and reconstituting of the structure in the approved location. The
pool house will be reassembled and constructed on a new foundation repurposing as much of the
wood as possible. Due to wetland restrictions and grade changes, relocating the garage out of the
required setback would be problematic. The existing larger garage has existed in its present
location since before 1972 without incident or comment. The aforementioned Decision already
allowed the conversion of the remaining portions of the garage to the pool house.
In the alternative and/or to the extent necessary, Variance relief pursuant to Nantucket
Zoning By Law is sought pursuant to Section 139-32 from the provisions of Section 139-16A to
allow the removal of the garage and reconstruction of the pool house substantially on the current
location within the required 35' front yard setback without coming any closer to the front yard
line than presently sited. There are unique circumstances relating to the shape, soil and
topography of the existing structure and the Property that especially affect the Property without
generally affecting the LUG -3 Zoning District which support a grant of Variance relief.
Specifically, the grade of the Property through the property and specifically in that location and
the siting of the other existing improvements on the Property make it infeasible to relocate the
new pool house outside the front yard setback area as it relates to the existing and previously
approved pool. In addition, there are substantial wetlands affecting the Property limiting
relocation on the irregularly shaped lot. The relocation of the garage would cause the Owner a
substantial hardship at this point given the limitations on the Property. The reassembled pool
house would have a less intense impact on the setback area as the structure is being reduced in
footprint as part of the conversion from garage to pool house. A grant of relief would be
consistent with the provisions in Decision No. 34-16 and would not nullify or substantially
derogate from the intent and purpose of the Zoning By Law.

Limited Use General -3 ("LUG -3")
DECISION:
Land Court Plan No. 13443-D and 13443-E
Lots A-3 and A-7
Certificate of Title No. 25343
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Board of Appeals held on Tuesday, September 20,
2016, at 1:00 pm, at 4 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554, the Board made the
following decision on the application of POLPIS HARBOR, LLC, 250 Polpis Road, Nantucket,
Massachusetts 02554, File No. 34-16.
2. Applicant is seeking. Special Permit relief pursuant to Zoning By -Law Section 139-33.A
to allow the change of use of a pre-existing nonconforming garage structure to a pool
houselcabana. The existing structure is sited within the easterly front yard setback. The proposed
alterations will result in a decrease in size such that the structure's footprint and massing will not
increase within the setback area. The Locus is situated at 248 and 250 Polpis Road, is shown on
Assessor's Map 26 as Parcel 27, as Lot A-7 upon Land Court Plan 13443-E and as Lot A-3 upon
Land Court Plan 13443-D. Evidence of owner's title is registered on Certificate of Title No.
25343 at the Nantucket County District of the Land Court. The site is zoned Limited Use
General 3 (LUG -3).
3. Our decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials, representations,
and testimony received at our public hearing. There was no Planning Board recommendation.
No opposition, written or oral, was presented at the hearing.
4. As explained by the Applicant's representative, the Locus is conforming as to lot size,
ground cover, frontage and side and rear set back requirements in the LUG -3 Zoning District.
The subject garage structure is .pre-existing nonconforming as to front -yard setback, being sited
as close as 8.6 feet from the easterly front yard lot line where minimum front yard setback
distance is thirty-five (35) feet. The garage has existed in its present location on the Premises
from a time prior to 1956 as reflected in the tax records of the Nantucket Assessor. In addition,
there is another pre-existing, non -conforming (circa 1890) studio that is as close as 27.3 feet
from the front lot line. The property has a Iot area of approximately 8.81 acres (383,763± square
feet).

s

The Applicant has obtained Nantucket Historic District Commission approval by virtue of
Certificate of Appropriateness No. 63521 and Nantucket Conservation Commission approval
(SE48-2779) for the conversion of the garage to a pool house/cabana. The change in use will
involve the removal of a portion of the existing garage, thus reducing the ground cover of the
new pool house./cabana from approximately 520 square feet to approximately 474 square feet,
5. Our decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials, and
representations and testimony received at our public hearing. The Applicant, through counsel,
explained that -there is an ongoing construction project on the Premises, and the proposed
conversion of the pre-existing, non -conforming garage to a pool house%abana would reduce the
footprint of the building by approximately forty-six (46) square feet, but would not change the
location or the height of the structure. He maintained that the proposed change of use of the
structure would enhance and restore the building to new condition and not be substantially more
detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing garage structure. He also noted to the Board
that there was no opposition to this application for Special Permit relief. Based upon the
foregoing, the Applicant asked the Board to grant the SPECIAL PERMIT pursuant to Section
139-33.A of the By -Law to allow for the conversion of the pre-existing, non -conforming garage
to a pool house/cabana with a reduced footprint.
6. The Board found that the existing garage structure on the Premises is a pre-existing, non-
conforming structure that meets the criteria for special permit relief pursuant to Section 139-
33.A. The Board determined that the height of the new pool houselcabana would be
substantially the same as the height of the existing pre-existing, non -conforming garage. The
Board affirmed that the new pool house/cabana should substantially conform to the approved
HDC design plans and Nantucket Conservation Commission site plan.
7. Accordingly, by UNANIMOUS vote, the Board GRANTS the requested SPECIAL
PERMIT relief from the provisions of Zoning By -Law Section 139-33.A to allow the
conversion of the pre-existing, non -conforming garage structure to a new pool house/cabana with
reduced footprint subject to the following conditions:
(a) The pool- houselcabana shall be constructed substantially in accordance with
Certificate of Appropriateness No. 63521 as approved by the Nantucket Historic District
Commission, as may be amended from time to time; and
(b) The pool houselcabana shall be constructed substantially in accordance with the
site plan incorporated into Order of Conditions No. SE48-2779 issued by the Nantucket
Conservation Commission, as may be amended from time to time.

Limited Use General -3 ("LUG -3")
DECISION:
Land Court Plan No. 13443-D and 13443-E
Lots A-3 and A-7
Certificate of Title No. 25343
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Board of Appeals held on Thursday, September 14,
2017, at 1:00 pm, at 4 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554, the Board made the
following decision on the application of POLPIS HARBOR, LLC, 250 Polpis Road, Nantucket,
Massachusetts 02554, File No. 33-17.
2. This is an application for MODIFICATION of SPECIAL PERMIT No. 034-16 pursuant
to Nantucket Zoning By -Law Section 139-33A to allow for the dismantling of the pre-existing,
non -conforming garage on the property, the reassembly of the garage and the conversion of the
garage into a pool house/cabana in its existing location. The pool/house cabana will be
reassembled and constructed on a new foundation using as much of the existing garage structural
components as possible. The location of the garage is 8.6 feet from the easterly front yard lot
line at its closest point and has existed in its present location on the property from a time prior to
1956 as reflected in the tax records of the Nantucket Assessor.
3. Existing Special Permit No.034-16 allowed the Applicant to "convert" the garage to a
pool house/cabana. During the course of construction, the Applicant's contractor observed rotten
garage support timbers that made it infeasible to construct a new pool house foundation with
three (3) unstable garage walls in place. Moreover, the Nantucket Historic District Commission
Certificate of Appropriateness No. 63521 for the garage project referred to the pool house
/cabana as a "New Dwelling" and the contractor erroneously interpreted the "conversion" of the
garage to a pool house/cabana as permission to disassemble the garage and build a new pool
house in its place. The Applicant seeks a modification of Special Permit No. 034-16 to allow for
the disassembly of the garage, the reassembly of the garage and the conversion of the
reassembled garage to a pool house/cabana on a new foundation using as much as the existing
garage structural materials as is feasible. In the alternative, the Applicant seeks a Variance under
Section 139-32 of the By Law to allow for the removal of the existing garage and reconstruction
of the pool house in the current garage location within the front yard setback area. There are
unique circumstances especially affecting this property and not generally affecting other
properties located in the LUG -3 Zoning District which warrant the grant of variance relief.
Specifically, the grade of the property, the location of existing improvements and the significant
wetland resource areas on the property make it infeasible to relocate the pool house outside the
front yard setback area. Given these material limitations, relocation of the pool house outside
the front yard setback area would cause the Applicant to suffer a substantial hardship. Moreover,
the pool house foot print is smaller than the existing garage footprint and the requested variance
relief would not derogate from the intent and purpose of the By Law.
2
4. Our decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials, and
representations and testimony received at our public hearing. The Applicant, through counsel,
stated the Applicant was prepared to reassemble as many of the components of the pre-existing
garage that had structural integrity and then convert the structure to a pool house/cabana in the
current garage location on the property as allowed by Special Permit No. 34-16. The Board
emphasized that the first floor elevation of the pool house should replicate the first floor
elevation of the disassembled garage, and asked the Applicant to provide the Board an Elevation
Plan showing the first floor elevations of the old garage and the new pool house.
5. The Board found that the requested modification of Special Permit No. 034-16 was
reasonable, conformed to the intent and purpose of the Special Permit and was not substantially
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the terms and provisions of Special Permit No. 034-
16. The Board determined further that a Modification of the Special Permit was appropriate
relief for this application and Variance relief was unnecessary.
