Residential Old Historic (ROH)
DECISION:
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals (the "Board") opened at
1:00 P.M. on Thursday, August 10, 2017 and closed on Thursday, June 14, 2018, in the
Conference Room, at 4 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the
following Decision on the application of SCOTT B. PATON and KRISTIN S. PATON (the
"Applicant"), 48 Brewster Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, in File No. 26-17.
2. Applicant seeks relief by Special Permit pursuant to Zoning By-law Sections 139-30 and
139-33.A in order to alter the pre-existing nonconforming dwelling structure. Specifically,
applicant proposes to renovate and build a 2-story addition and basement on the south and west
elevations. A portion of the work will take place within the northerly side yard setback. 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 Locus, an undersized lot of record, is situated at 33 Orange Street, is
shown on Tax Assessor's Map 42.3.2 as Parcel 199, and as Lot 470 upon Plan Book 16, Page 81.
Evidence of owner's title recorded in Book 1570, Page 270 on file at the Nantucket County
Registry of Deeds. The site is zoned Residential Old Historic (ROH).
3. The Board's decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials,
representations, and testimony received at the public hearings. There was no Planning Board
recommendation, on the basis that no matters of planning concern were presented. A direct
abutter expressed concern with the initial proposal but supported, in writing, the modified
proposal which was ultimately approved.
4. The Locus as shown on plan entitled, "As-Built Plot Plan, Nantucket, MA.; 33 Orange
Street", prepared by Joseph Marcklinger, PLS, dated December 16, 2016, and revised May 3,
2018, and attached herewith as "Exhibit A", is a pre-existing nonconforming undersized lot of
record, with a lot area of approximately 4,002 square feet in the ROH where minimum lot size is
5,000 square feet. Locus has 37.26 feet of frontage onto Orange Street where minimum required
frontage is fifty (50) feet. The premises are improved with an historic (said to be circa 1760)pre-
existing nonconforming two-story dwelling unit and detached shed. More specifically, the
2
dwelling is sited as close as 0.3 feet from the northerly side yard lot line where a five (5) foot
side yard setback is required. The shed in the southwest corner of the lot is sited as close as 0.6
feet from the westerly rear yard lot line and as close as 0.4 feet from the southerly side yard lot
line. No alterations are proposed to the shed. The existing ground cover ratio upon the lot is
30.6% where the maximum allowable is 50% or 1,500 square feet in the case of an undersized
lot of record. The Locus will remain conforming as to ground cover subsequent to the proposed
alterations.
5. At the initial public hearing ("IPH") on August 10, 2017, Applicants' attorney explained
that the proposal was to `raise' the structure in order to install an eight (8) foot basement under
the rear portion and put it back down no closer to lot line than the existing structure. The Historic
District Commission ("HDC") approved the project by virtue Certificate of Appropriateness
("COA") No. 67837. The Applicants had engaged a structural engineer to do drawings and look
at neighboring properties that could be negatively impacted by the project. The plan was said to
be to apply a conventional approach to install a frost wall at the building line and a basement
between four and five (4 — 5) feet back. At the time of the IPH, the project was being put out to
bid to contractors. A direct abutter spoke at that hearing and voiced concerns about the digging
of a new basement so close to the shared property line and the structural integrity of his house.
The Board was not comfortable with granting relief at that time without further information on
construction protocols and further suggested that applicant talk to all neighbors.
6. The hearing was continued for several months and re-opened on March 8, April 12, and
May 10, 2018. Over the course of these hearings, the Applicant clarified that the proposal
consists of `razing' (not `raising') a portion of the rear ell in order to build an addition. The
project will result in expansions on the westerly rear and northerly and southerly side elevations.
Although there will be a vertical expansion within the northerly side yard setback, the dwelling
will be no closer to the northerly side yard lot line than the existing structure as a result of the
project. The Board requested additional information specific to the proposed construction
methodology, engineering protocols, contractual assurances with the construction engineering
firm, and commitment to protect the abutter's property during any excavation.
7. Prior to the May 10th hearing, the Applicant submitted a revised proposed conditions plan
entitled, "Proposed Plot Plan, Nantucket, MA.; 33 Orange Street", prepared by Joseph
Marcklinger, PLS, dated May 24, 2017, and revised May 3, 2018, and attached herewith as
"Exhibit B", which shows the proposed expanded dwelling as having a ground cover of 1,697
square feet. The existing ground cover ratio upon the lot is 30.6% where the maximum allowable
is 50% or 1,500 square feet in the case of an undersized lot of record, whichever is greater,
which in this case is 2,001 square feet (50% of 4,002 square feet). Therefore, the Locus will
remain conforming as to ground cover subsequent to the proposed alterations.
3
8. At the May 10th hearing, the Board reminded the applicant to seek approval from the
HDC to amend the previous COA. The Applicant submitted an updated application to the HDC,
having revised the project to materially change the scope of the alterations. The plans were
approved and the project was granted new COA No. 70376.
9. Essentially,the revised proposal consists of moving the rear addition slightly further from
the lot line than the existing rear ell of the structure to bring it into alignment with the main mass
of the dwelling. The new addition will be sited no closer than 1.4 feet from the northerly lot line.
Although the setback intrusion would not be cured, this proposal reduces the massing within the
northerly side yard setback. This revised project is said to preclude any need to encroach on the
northern abutter's property during the work. The Applicants contacted the Abutter to inform him
of the changed scope of work and he subsequently submitted an email (dated May 4, 2018)
indicating approval of the revised project.
10. As presented by Applicant, the project consists of demolition and reconstruction of the
rear ell of the dwelling, resulting in a total ground cover of roughly 1,697 square feet (ground
cover ratio of 42.4%), and sited no closer than 1.4 feet from the northerly side yard lot line.
Therefore, in consideration of the testimony received at the hearing and based upon the above-
referenced Proposed Conditions Site Plan, the Board made a determination that the requested
relief may be granted pursuant to the findings that the proposed project will not make the
existing nonconforming setback distance more nonconforming, and will not be substantially
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformities.
11. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote, the Board GRANTS the requested SPECIAL
PERMIT relief pursuant to By-law Section 139-33.A subject to the following conditions:
a. There shall be no exterior construction during Memorial Day weekend and
between June 1st and Labor Day of any given year relative to construction
contemplated under this decision;
b. The foundation of the rear ell shall be constructed substantially as shown on plan
entitled, "Foundation Plan; Addition and Renovation to 33 Orange Street,
Nantucket, MA.", prepared by ASAP Engineering & Design Co., Inc., dated April
12, 2018, and revised May 3, 2018, and attached herewith as "Exhibit C";
c. The work shall be performed in substantial conformance with plans approved in
connection with HDC Certificate of Appropriateness No. 70376, as the same may
amended from time to time, and as shown on above-referenced"Exhibit B".

DECISION:
Deed Reference: Book 1570, Page 270
Plan Book 16, Page 81
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals (the "Board") opened at
1:00 P.M. on Thursday, August 10, 2017 and closed on Thursday, June 14, 2018, in the
Conference Room, at 4 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the
following Decision on the application of SCOTT B. PATON and KRISTIN S. PATON (the
"Applicant"), 48 Brewster Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, in File No. 26-17.
2. Applicant seeks relief by Special Permit pursuant to Zoning By-law Sections 139-30 and
139-33.A in order to alter the pre-existing nonconforming dwelling structure. Specifically,
applicant proposes to renovate and build a 2 -story addition and basement on the south and west
elevations. A portion of the work will take place within the northerly side yard setback. 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 Locus, an undersized lot of record, is situated at 33 Orange Street, is
shown on Tax Assessor's Map 42.3.2 as Parcel 199, and as Lot 470 upon Plan Book 16, Page 81.
Evidence of owner's title recorded in Book 1570, Page 270 on file at the Nantucket County
Registry of Deeds. The site is zoned Residential Old Historic (ROH).
3. The Board's decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials,
representations, and testimony received at the public hearings. There was no Planning Board
recommendation, on the basis that no matters of planning concern were presented. A direct
abutter expressed concern with the initial proposal but supported, in writing, the modified
proposal which was ultimately approved.
4. The Locus as shown on plan entitled, "As -Built Plot Plan, Nantucket, MA.; 33 Orange
Street", prepared by Joseph Marcklinger, PLS, dated December 16, 2016, and revised May 3,
2018, and attached herewith as "Exhibit A", is a pre-existing nonconforming undersized lot of
record, with a lot area of approximately 4,002 square feet in the ROH where minimum lot size is
5,000 square feet. Locus has 37.26 feet of frontage onto Orange Street where minimum required
frontage is fifty (50) feet. The premises are improved with an historic (said to be circa 1760) pre-
existing nonconforming two-story dwelling unit and detached shed. More specifically, the
N
dwelling is sited as close as 0.3 feet from the northerly side yard lot line where a five (5) foot
side yard setback is required. The shed in the southwest corner of the lot is sited as close as 0.6
feet from the westerly rear yard lot line and as close as 0.4 feet from the southerly side yard lot
line. No alterations are proposed to the shed. The existing ground cover ratio upon the lot is
30.6% where the maximum allowable is 50% or 1,500 square feet in the case of an undersized
lot of record. The Locus will remain conforming as to ground cover subsequent to the proposed
alterations.
5. At the initial public hearing ("IPH") on August 10, 2017, Applicants' attorney explained
that the proposal was to `raise' the structure in order to install an eight (8) foot basement under

The Board was not comfortable with granting relief at that time without further information on
construction protocols and further suggested that applicant talk to all neighbors.
6. The hearing was continued for several months and re -opened on March 8, April 12, and
May 10, 2018. Over the course of these hearings, the Applicant clarified that the proposal
consists of `razing' (not `raising') a portion of the rear ell in order to build an addition. The
project will result in expansions on the westerly rear and northerly and southerly side elevations.
Although there will be a vertical expansion within the northerly side yard setback, the dwelling
will be no closer to the northerly side yard lot line than the existing structure as a result of the
project. The Board requested additional information specific to the proposed construction
methodology, engineering protocols, contractual assurances with the construction engineering
firm, and commitment to protect the abutter's property during any excavation.
7. Prior to the May 10'h hearing, the Applicant submitted a revised proposed conditions plan
entitled, "Proposed Plot Plan, Nantucket, MA.; 33 Orange Street", prepared by Joseph
Marcklinger, PLS, dated May 24, 2017, and revised May 3, 2018, and attached herewith as
"Exhibit B", which shows the proposed expanded dwelling as having a ground cover of 1,697
square feet. The existing ground cover ratio upon the lot is 30.6% where the maximum allowable
is 50% or 1,500 square feet in the case of an undersized lot of record, whichever is greater,
which in this case is 2,001 square feet (50% of 4,002 square feet). Therefore, the Locus will
remain conforming as to ground cover subsequent to the proposed alterations.
U
8. At the May I Wh hearing, the Board reminded the applicant to seek approval from the
HDC to amend the previous COA. The Applicant submitted an updated application to the HDC,
having revised the project to materially change the scope of the alterations. The plans were
approved and the project was granted new COA No. 70376.
9. Essentially, the revised proposal consists of moving the rear addition slightly further from
the lot line than the existing rear ell of the structure to bring it into alignment with the main mass
of the dwelling. The new addition will be sited no closer than 1.4 feet from the northerly lot line.
Although the setback intrusion would not be cured, this proposal reduces the massing within the
northerly side yard setback. This revised project is said to preclude any need to encroach on the
northern abutter's property during the work. The Applicants contacted the Abutter to inform him
of the changed scope of work and he subsequently submitted an email (dated May 4, 2018)
indicating approval of the revised project.
10. As presented by Applicant, the project consists of demolition and reconstruction of the
rear ell of the dwelling, resulting in a total ground cover of roughly 1,697 square feet (ground
cover ratio of 42.4%), and sited no closer than 1.4 feet from the northerly side yard lot line.
Therefore, in consideration of the testimony received at the hearing and based upon the above -
referenced Proposed Conditions Site Plan, the Board made a determination that the requested
relief may be granted pursuant to the findings that the proposed project will not make the
existing nonconforming setback distance more nonconforming, and will not be substantially
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformities.
11. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote, the Board GRANTS the requested SPECIAL
PERMIT relief pursuant to By-law Section 139-33.A subject to the following conditions:
a. There shall be no exterior construction during Memorial Day weekend and
between June 1St and Labor Day of any given year relative to construction
contemplated under this decision;
b. The foundation of the rear ell shall be constructed substantially as shown on plan
entitled, "Foundation Plan; Addition and Renovation to 33 Orange Street,
Nantucket, MA.", prepared by ASAP Engineering & Design Co., Inc., dated April
12, 2018, and revised May 3, 2018, and attached herewith as "Exhibit C";
C. The work shall be performed in substantial conformance with plans approved in
connection with HDC Certificate of Appropriateness No. 70376, as the same may
amended from time to time, and as shown on above -referenced "Exhibit B".
