At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Board of Appeals held at 1:00 p.~ Friday,
August 11, 2006 in the Conference Room, 2 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket,
Massachusetts, on the Application ofR. FREDERIC KNAUFT AND SARAH B.
KNAUFT, 34 Birch Road, West Hartford, Connecticut 06119, the Board made the
following Dedsion on Board of Appeals File no. 068-06:
1. Applicants are seeking a MODIFICATION of the VARIANCE relief granted
pursuant to Nantucket Zoning By-Law Section 139-16 (intensity regulations-side
yard setback) in the Decision in BOA File No. 057-04 (the "Dedsion") that allowed
the Applicants to construct an about 410 square-foot addition to their single-family
dwelling in order to increase the interior living space. Relief was conditioned upon
the addition not being sited any closer than about 16 feet from the northerly side
yard lot line based upon the Historic District Commission ("HDC") approved plans
and attached Exhibit A. Upon completion of the addition, and upon receipt of the
as-built plan in anticipation of receiving the Certificate of Occupancy, it was learned
that a small comer portion of the integrated second-floor deck roof system was sited
as close about 15.3 feet from the northerly side yard lot line in a district that
requires a minimum side yard setback of 20 feet. Applicants are now seeking to
modify the Decision to reflect the current setback distance of about 15.3 feet, and
substitute new Exhibit A-I. Applicants state the HDC plans were adhered to and
that there was a discrepancy between the attached Exhibit A and said HDC
approved plans and are seeking to rectify this discrepancy in the Decision. The
Locus is conforming in all respects other than as noted above. The property is also
benefited by a grant of Variance relief in BOA File No. 055-90, which validated the
non-eomplying height of the original structure.
The Premises is located at 18 Eat Fire Spring Road, Assessors Map 20,
Pareel59~ Land Court Plan No. 6283-8, Lot 81. The property is zoned Lim.ited-Use-
General-3. '
2. This Decision is based upon the Application and materials submitted with it,
along with the testimony and evidence presented at the hearing. The Planning
Board did not make a recommendation as there were no issues of planning concern.
There was no opposition to tbis Application presented at the hearing or in writing
on file. There were letters of support from the four of the abutten, including the
immediate abutter to the north and the one most affected by the setback intrusion.
There were also a number of photographs submitted by Applicants' counsel of the
completed structure.
3. Applicants, through counsel, provided the Board with a chronology of events
relative to this project. On November 14,2003 the first set of building plans were
submitted to the HDC, and these plans were approved on December 2, 2003. The
plans showed a second Door deck that did not have a surrounding porch roof at the
time. On January 22, 2004, the BDC approved plans were submitted to the Building
Department, and a building permit was issued on January 22, 2004. Subsequently,
the building plans were amended by the Applicants and on April 27 ., 2004, the
revised building plans were approved by the HDC. The amended plans were
mistakenly never submitted to the Building Department in order to also revise the
already issued building permit.
On July 22, 2004, Nantucket Surveyors prepared a sketch pIan, which was in
accordance with the first set of BDC plans and not the amended, approved plans.
This plan showed a setback of about sixteen feet, without indicating the integrated
roof system that surrounded the deck on the amended plans. On September 10,
2004, Applicant received relief from this Board to build the new addition which
would be sited at about sixteen feet from the northerly side yard lot line based on
the plan by Nantucket SUn'eyors. The relief granted by this Board contained
conditions that required the Applicant to construct the addition in substantial
conformance with the plan prepared by Michael Bacbm811., registered land sUn'eyor
of Nantucket SUn'eyors LLC, dated July 22, 2004 (attached to the Decision as
Exhibit A) and in substantial conformance with the approved amended HDC plans.
The HDC plans were adhered to, and the HDC has signed off on the completed
addition. The Zoning Enforcement Officer would not sign otJ on the request for the
Certificate of Occupancy because Exhibit A attached to the Decision did not
correspond with the approved BDC plans and the building permit was never
amended per the new HDC plans referenced in the Decision. Exhibit A showed a
setback of about 16 feet and the HDC plans indicated a setback of about 15. 3 feet
and the new" As Built Plot Plan", done by Stephen Sullivan, registered land
surveyor, Nantucket Surveyors LLC, dated March 17, 2006, a reduced copy of
which is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit A-I, indicated a setback from the
northerly side yard lot line of about IS.3 feet at its closest point with a majority of
the structure being sited outside the previously approved setback of 16 feet.
Applicants stated that it was smaU comer of the structure that was sited
closer than 16 feet and removing the integrated porch roof and drainage system in
the post would cause undue financial harm and there would be no public benefit to
forcing the removal of that comer of the deck. Applicants also stated that they had
proceeded in good faith to construct the addition as shown in the HDC approved
plans that were presented to the Board at the hearing in September 2004. They had
not seen the original site plan attached as Exhibit A and did not know there had
been a discrepancy between the two conditions contained in the Decision that
resulted in an inadvertent error.
. #
4. Therefore, based upon the foregoing, the Board finds that the proposal to
modify the Variance to correct the error between the two conditions contained in
the Decision as presented above, reducing the northerly side yard setback from 16
feet to about 15.3 feet, would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of
the Zoning By-Law. The Board hereby affinns the findings made in the Decision in
BOA File No. 057-04 and finds that a denial of the requested Modification would
involve substantial financial hardship to the Applicant, and the desired relief may
be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying
or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the By-law. There would
be no public benefit gained by forcing the Applicants to remove a small comer of
the deck.
5. Accordingly, the Board, by a vote of four in favor (Waine, 0'Mara,
Koseatac, Wiley) and one opposed (Sevrens), hereby GRANTS the requested relief
to MODIFY the VARIANCE in the Decision in BOA File No. 057-04 to reflect a
northerly side yard setback of about 15.3 feet and substitute a new Exhibit A-I.
Relief is hereby conditioned upon thefoUowing:
a. There shall be no additional expansion of the structure without
further relief from this Board; and
b. The house shall be sited substantia

.--/--
Applicant is seeking a Modification of the Variance relief granted on September 10, 2004
(Board of Appeals File No. 057-04) whereby Applicant was granted relief to construct an
addition "as close as about 16 feet from the northerly side yard lot line..". Additionally, the relief
was conditioned upon "the project shall be done in substantial conformance with the 'Plot Plan
to Accompany ZBA application', prepared by Michael Bachman dated July 22, 2004, a reduced
copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and the addition shall be built in substantial
conformance with Certificate of Appropriateness Nos. 42,896 and 43,688, issued by the
Nantucket Historic Commission, as may be amended from time to time."
Applicant has completed the addition, and upon receipt ofthe as-built plan in anticipation
of receiving the Certificate of Occupancy, it was first learned that a small corner portion of the
integrated second floor deck roof system, that contains the drainage system for said deck, is sited
as close as about 15.3 feet from the northerly side yard lot line rather than the previously
approved "about 16 feet".
The plans were initially approved by the HDC on December 2,2003, and were amended
and approved by the HDC on April 27, 2004. The modification approved by the HDC was never
submitted to the building department in order to amend the building permit.
Applicants applied to the Zoning Board of Appeals, and received relief at the
September 10, 2004 meeting, which was several months after the approval of the HDC plans.
Applicant provided the builder with the set of the amended, approved HDC plans that were
specifically referenced in the Zoning Board of Appeals decision, and the addition was built in
accordance with the approved plans as evidenced by the HDC's sign-off on the completed
addition. Unfortunately, there was a discrepancy between the HDC approved plans referenced in
the Zoning Board of Appeals decision, and the above-mentioned July 22,2004 plan prepared by
Michael S. Bachman, which was attached to the Zoning Board of Appeals Decision as Exhibit A.
The plan submitted by the surveyor did not show the roof structure within which the second floor
deck was to sit. The difference in the setback between 15.3 feet and 16 feet is the width of that
portion of the second floor deck.
Thus, Applicant is seeking to amend the Variance dated September 10, 2004 modifying
the "about 16 feet from the northerly side yard lot line" to about 15.3 feet in order to clear up this
discrepancy in the Zoning Board of Appeals decision.

To whom it may concern.
We are the closest abutting neighbors of Rick and Sarah Knauft at lB Eat Fire Spring Road
in Nantucket. Massachusetts. our properties join on the northwest side of tbeir lot.
The Knauft's addition enhances their property and is certainly an improvement on the
original structure. They have tastefully transformed their house to make better use of the
space and it is lovely to view from our home.
We understand there is a very small issue of the position of a deck on the west side of
the bouse.
This deck creates a formal entry and blends well into the architecture. AS we are east of
them. it is the part of the house visible to us. The deck is in no way offensive to us as
neighbors and we feel that it should stay 88 it is as an exception to the zoning
requirement. It was an error, possibly in the surveying, that we feel should be excused.
Not only were the Knaufts were very careful in all of the requireme~ts of the building of
their addition so that everything would be done in accordance with all regulations. but
they were very considerate regarding the impact that their project would have on their
neighbors; we feel they should not be punished for a slight miscalculation on the part of
someone else.
It is our position that the deck in question has no negative impact on our residential
situation and strongly recommend that this zoning variation be allowed.
Sincerely,
William and Sarah Goodman

To Whom It May Concern:
As abutting neighbors of Sarah and Rick Knauft at 18 Eat Fire Spring, we write to tell you how
delighted we are at the addition they recently completed on their property.
We have been in this neighborhood for close to fifteen years. Before the Knaufts bought 1 g Eat
Fire Spring, it was distressing to see how the previous owners maintained the house and land-
the house was a mess and the western side of the property was essentially used as a garbage
dump.
Since the Knaufts became owners, they have diligently and carefully restored the land and house
with great affection and respect for Nantucket's history and requirements. The recent addition to
the house obviously enhances the property greatly, since it creates balance to the quirky nature of
the original footprint of the house. It makes the house "whole", if you will, ftom a design
perspective.
We have always been impressed with their diligence as they supervised every aspect of this
project, consulting with neighbors along the way and always doing what was right. This has
resulted in a lovely home for them and we can only hope they continue to teach us all about how
to restore and make improvements to the neighborhood we all love so much.
Please contact US if we can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely YOUTS,
Joan Hochman

NANTUCKET BOARD OF APPEALS
1 East Chestnut Street
Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554
Map 20, Parcel 59
LUG-3
18 Fire Spring Road
At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Board of Appeals held at 1:00 p.m.,
Friday, September 10, 2004, in the Conference Room of the Town of Nantucket
Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, on the
Application ofR. FREDERIC KNAUFT AND SARAH B. KNAUFT, 34 Birch Road,
West Hartford, Connecticut. (Board of Appeals File No. 057-04) the Board made the
following Decision:
1. Applicant is seeking VARIANCE relief under Nantucket Zoning By-Law
Section 139-16 (intensity regulations-side yard setback). Applicants propose to
construct a 410 square-foot addition to their single-family dwelling in order to
increase the interior living space. Applicant is on the medical staff of the Nantucket
Cottage Hospital, and is required to spend more time here on a year-round basis.
The new addition would be sited as close as about 16 feet from the northerly side
yard lot line in a district that requires a minimum side yard setback of 20 feet. The
Locus is conforming in all respects other than as noted above. The property is
benefited by a grant of Variance relief in BOA File No. 055-90, which validated the
non-complying height of the original structure.
The Premises is located at 18 Eat Fire Spring Road, Assessors Map 20,
Parcel 59. The property is zoned LUG-3. '
2. This Decision is based upon the Application and materials submitted with it,
along with the testimony and evidence presented at the hearing. The Planning
Board did not make a recommendation. There was no opposition to this
Application, and there were letters of support from five (5) of the closest abutters,
some of whom own multiple lots, supporting this Application, and also a letter from
Dr. Lepore who sent a letter of support and spoke in favor of the Application at the
hearing. There were also a number of photographs submitted by Applicants'
counsel of the site and structure. Applicants licensed surveyor, Michael Bachman
of Nantucket Surveyors, Inc., submitted a letter dated August 27, 2004 in which he
stated that "This property is definitely one in which topography controls what one
can do as far as building additions." He further stated that placing the addition on
the northerly side of the structure would reduce the nonconforming height average
and the only place an addition could be constructed was on the northerly side as
proposed. He included a topography map and the previous Decision in BOA File No.
055-90, which granted to a predecessor-in-title to the Applicants relief by Variance
to validate the height of the structure due specifically to the uneven topography of
the lot and configuration of the structure.
3. Applicants, through counsel, represented that they are proposing to build an
about 410 square-foot addition to their single-family dwelling so that they could add
a master bedroom and enlarge the kitchen, providing a winterized section of the
house in which to reside when Dr. Knauft was in residence and working as a
member of Nantucket Cottage Hospital staff. When they purchased the property, it
had three (3) separate living spaces, and they subsequently turned it into a single-
family dwelling and made substantial improvements to the property. Because of the
topography of the lot as well as the uniqueness of the structure, Applicants would
only be able to build the addition on the northerly side of the property to avoid
exacerbating the nonconforming height and massing of the structure on the
southerly side and to work with the irregular existing floor plan. Applicants had
entered into negotiations with the abutter on the northerly side in an effort to
purchase a 400 square-foot triangular piece of their lot so as to change the diagonal
property line to a rectangular bump in order to provide sufficient space to meet the
20-foot setback requirement. Prior to the transfer taking place, it was determined
that a deed restriction prohibited the abutter from subdividing his property, or
making a property line adjustment thus making it impossible for the Applicants to
purchase the small piece of property. The proposed addition would create an
encroachment into the northerly setback area of approximately four feet as the
addition would be sited as close as about 16 feet from the northerly side yard lot
line. The conforming lot contained about 141,900 square feet of lot area, and the
existing structure had a ground cover ratio of about 1.2% in a zoning district that
allowed a maximum of 3%. With the additional 410 square feet of ground cover,
the ground cover would continue to be below the allowable maximum of 3%.
4. Therefore, based upon the foregoing, the Board finds that the proposal to
construct the additional approximte 410 square feet of ground cover in the proposed
location within the northerly required 20-foot setback area would be in harmony
with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-Law, and would not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood. In addition, the Board finds
that owing to the shape and topography of the Locus; specifically, the location and
existing configuration of the existing structure and the uneven topography of the lot,
that especially affecting the Locus but not affecting generally the zoning district, a
literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning By-law would involve substantial
hardship to the Applicant, and that desirable relief may be granted without
substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially
derogating from the intent or purpose of the By-law.
5. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote, the Board hereby GRANTS the
requested relief by VARIANCE under Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A
(Intensity regulations-side yard setback). Relief is hereby conditioned upon the
following:
a. There shall be no additional expansion, beyond what is approved in
this Decision, of the structure without further relief from this Board;
....
b. The project shall be done in substantial conformance with the "Plot
Plan to Accompany Z.B.A. Application", done by Michael Bachman,
dated July 22, 2004, a reduced copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit A; and
c. The addition shall be built in substantial conformance with Certificate
of Appropriateness Nos. 42,896 and 43,688, issued by the Nantucket
Historic District Commission, as may be amended from time to time.
