DECISION:
Certificate of Title 25516
Land Court Plan 36157-C
Lot 3
1. Upon review of the application submitted by the Applicant for the above -referenced
property, it was determined by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to Nantucket Zoning
By -Law Section 139-33.A(1)(b) that the proposed alterations and additions to the pre-
existing non -conforming structure upon the pre-existing nonconforming lot shall neither
increase the nonconforming nature nor create a new nonconformity upon the locus.
2. The Applicant proposes to alter the pre-existing nonconforming structure by
installing an air-conditioning unit along the north elevation of the structure. The dwelling
will be no closer to the northerly side yard lot line than the existing structure as a result of
the proposed work. The applicant recently completed other additions and alterations to
the dwelling which comply with all setbacks and zoning requirements and have been
granted Historic District Commission approval by virtue of Certificate of
Appropriateness No. 63606, as the same may be amended from time to time.
3. The locus, an undersized lot of record, as shown on Land Court Plan 36157-C dated
February 23, 1972, has an approximate lot area of 4,259 square feet in the Residential
One (R-1) zoning district where minimum required lot size is 5,000 square feet. The
premises is improved with a 1,204 square foot single family dwelling with an existing
ground cover ratio of approximately 28.3% where 30% is allowed. The original dwelling,
having a ground cover ratio of roughly 20.2%, was built in 1973 in compliance with the
code in existence at that time and is therefore pre-existing nonconforming with respect to
setback, being sited as close as 4.2 feet from the northerly side yard lot line in the R-1
district which requires a five (5) foot minimum side yard setback distance. The structure
and lot are otherwise conforming to the intensity regulations of the zoning district.
4. Proposed conditions of the Locus are shown on plan entitled, "Proposed Site Plan of
Land in Nantucket, Mass.", dated September 1, 2017, prepared by Island Surveyors.
LLC, a reduced copy of which is attached hereto as "Exhibit A". In 2016, applicants were
issued Building Permit No. 1198-16 to construct a single story addition, renovate, and
alter the existing structure. In connection with these now completed and dimensionally
2
compliant renovations, a new air conditioning compressor is proposed on the north
elevation of the dwelling. The northeast corner of the structure is as close as 4.2 feet from
the lot line. The proposed unit, while sited within the five (5) foot setback, will be no
closer to the lot line than said northeast corner.
5. Based upon the foregoing, the Zoning Administrator finds that the proposed alteration
consisting of the installation of an air conditioning unit on the north elevation of the pre-
existing nonconforming dwelling will not increase the pre-existing nonconforming
setback of the structure, will not create any new nonconformities, and hereby issues the
permit as requested.
