It is shown on Assessor's Map 79 as Parcel 19 and also as Lot 35 upon Land Court Plan No. 17745-F at the Nantucket Registry District of the Land Court. Evidence of Applicant's ownership is at Certificate of Title No. 20981. Pursuant to Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16.C.3, the R-20 zoning district provides for a 30 foot front yard setback and 10 foot side and rear yard setback. The locus fronts on Clifford Street to the west and also previously abutted an unconstructed private. way, Harriet Street (a/k/a Prospect Street), to the east, but that land was Taken by Eminent Domain by the Town of Nantucket in 2014 (Document No. 147396) and it is now Town land in the Yard Sale program. The taken parcel was subdivided by the Town in an Approval Not Required Acquisition Plan filed by the Town of Nantucket and approved by the Planning Board on June 8, 2015 (see Plan No. 2015-35). This plan created Parcel H, which is 20' wide along the eastern boundary of the Locus. The disposition of Parcel H to the Applicant (and of the other parcels to the other abutters) has been held up for more than five years but is proceeding through the Yard Sale Program. Under the terms of the Yard Sale Program, the Applicant is a certain acquirer of the land, since they are the only abutter. Applicant has delayed development of this lot for several years waiting for the Yard Sale process to be completed. In June 2018, Applicant sought to de -register their land from the Land Court system, to try to cut down on the delay. However, because the Town filed for a Certificate of Title in July 2018, Applicant has withdrawn that action so as to not interfere with the Land Court petition. Due to the long narrow shape of the lot, and the unusual title clearing related to Parcel H, Applicant seeks relief by Special Permit to reduce the rear (eastern) setback from 10' to 5' per §139-16(C)(1) of the Zoning Bylaw. The rear setback, as noted above, borders the taken land of Parcel H. Section 139-16(C)(1) allows for reduction of the rear setback when such relief is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Bylaw. In this instance, the setback between the Premises and the abutting property will still be greater than the mandated 10' due to the 20' wide Parcel H between the properties. Even once the Yard Sale program is complete, the setback between the properties will be more than 10 feet, therefore there is no violation of the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Bylaw. 2 Fairgrounds Road Nantucket Massachusetts 02554 508-228-7215 telephone 508-228-7298 facsimile ► < tRJi *GOv �K y+ _ � {rte 02�n�W d�O O Zo�n O� ✓: �yaJ E v ¢-in o w n F N <�� �� <oz woo u rra n J k O W `W Q i` Ci vvxir u ZOZN Z o.

NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 2 Fairgrounds Road Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Assessor's Map 79, Parcel 19 7 Clifford Street Residential — 20 (R-20) DECISION Certificate of Title No. 20981 Land Court Plan 17745-F Lot 35 1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals (the "Board") opened on Thursday, October 10, 2019 in the Conference Room, at 4 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following Decision on the application of SHEILA and CARMINE GIARDINI ("Applicants"), c/o Cohen & Cohen Law PC, 34 Main Street, 2nd Floor, P.O. Box 786, Nantucket, MA 02554, in File No. 26-19. 2. Applicants are requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Zoning By-law Section 139-16.C(1) to reduce the ten (10) foot rear yard setback to five (5) feet in order to construct a pool and pergola as close as five (5) from the easterly lot line. The Locus is situated at 7 Clifford Street, shown on Assessor's Map 79 as Parcel 19, and as Lot 35 upon Land Court Plans 17745-F. Evidence of owner's title is registered on Certificate of Title No. 20981 at the Nantucket County District of the Land Court. The site is zoned Residential 20 (R-20). 3. Our decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials, representations, and testimony received at the public hearing. Applicant, through its counsel, Steven Cohen, presented testimony at the public hearing. No written opposition was presented at the hearing. One island resident, not an abutter, spoke in opposition stating that the area is being overbuilt, in general, and that a pool will produce light and noise. Her primary concern was compliance with the noise and lighting (dark skies) by-laws. 4. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 139-16.A, the R-20 zoning district requires a thirty (30) foot front yard setback and ten (10) foot side and rear yard setbacks. The locus fronts on Clifford Street to the west, is bordered by Weweeder Avenue to the north, and also previously abutted an unconstructed private way, Harriet Street (a/k/a Prospect Street), to the east. However, the portion of Harriet Street which directly abuts the Locus was acquired by Eminent Domain by the Town of Nantucket in 2014 (See Order of Taking registered as Land Court Document No. 147396) and is now Town land in the Yard Sale program. The taken parcel was subdivided by the Town in an Approval Not Required Acquisition Plan filed by the Town of Nantucket and approved by the Planning Board on June 8, 2015 (on file with the Registry of Deeds as Plan No. 2015-35). This plan created Parcel H, which is twenty (20) feet wide along the eastern boundary of the Locus. Although the disposition of Parcel H to the Applicant (and of the other parcels to the other abutters) has been held up due to protracted Land Court 2 proceedings for over five years, it is part of the Nantucket "Yard Sale" Program. Under the terms of the Yard Sale Program, the Applicants are certain acquirers of the land, since they are the only direct abutters. The Applicants have delayed development of this lot for several years waiting for the Yard Sale process to be completed. 5. The Applicants are seeking Special Permit relief pursuant to Section 139-16.C(1) which reads: The Board of Appeals may grant a special permit to reduce the ten foot side yard setback in R-5 and the ten foot side and rear yard setback in R-10, SR -10, R-20 and SR -20 to five feet. Specifically, Applicants propose to construct a pool and pergola inside the existing easterly setback of the Locus. The Locus is compliant as to R-20 zoning, having a lot area of 60,005 sq. ft. where 20,000 sq. ft is the maximum required lot area. The existing structures upon the Locus comply with the thirty (3 0) foot front and the ten (10) foot side and rear setbacks, other than an encroaching generator which will be removed. The applicants seek a reduction of the ten (10) foot rear setback to five (5) feet to allow construction of a roughly 504 sq. ft. (14' x 36') in -ground pool and a 280 sq. ft. (14' x 20') pergola as close as 5.1 feet from the existing easterly lot line. The proposed conditions are shown on plan entitled, "Proposed Site Plan in Nantucket, Massachusetts", dated August 7, 2019, and prepared by Bracken Engineering, Inc., a reduced copy of which is attached herewith as "Exhibit A". The rear setback, as noted above, borders the taken land of Parcel H. 6. After taking testimony from Applicants' counsel, the Board made the following findings: a) The applicants are eligible for and committed to acquiring Parcel H as soon as Land Court proceedings allow. Once a Certificate of Title is issued in the name of the Town, the Town will convey Parcel H to them to be merged with their property. This will add 6,001 sq. ft. of lot area and an additional twenty (20) feet of width on the eastern boundary. b) Upon acquisition and merger, the pool and pergola would be cited no closer than twenty- five (25) feet from the newly established easterly lot line, thus in full compliance with the ten (10) foot setback. Therefore, based upon the above findings, the granting of Special Permit relief to reduce the current rear setback from ten (10) to five (5) feet remains in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-law. 7. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote, the Board GRANTS the requested SPECIAL PERMIT pursuant to Zoning By-law Section 139-16.C(1) to reduce the ten (10) foot rear yard setback to 5.1 feet in order to allow the construction of an in -ground pool and pergola as shown on the above -referenced "Exhibit A", subject to the condition that there shall be no further expansion within the setback without further relief from the Board. 3 Assessor's Map 79, Parcel 19 7 Clifford Street Residential — 20 (R-20) Dated: October 10, 2019 Certificate of Title No. 20981 Land Court Plan 17745-F Lot 35 Kerim Koseatac QA, �, _ Mark Poor COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Nantucket, ss.
