FRIDAY. MARCH 16.2007. in the Conference Room, 2 FAIRGROUNDS ROAD, Nantucket, MA, on the Application of the following: CHARLES W. FISHER, II AND CYNTHIA PERRY FISHER BOARD OF APPEALS FILE NO. 020-07 The Applicants are seeking MODIFICATION of V ARIANCE relief granted pursuant to Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A (Intensity regulations - ground cover) in the Decision in BOA File No. 051-97, as modified in the Decision in BOA File No. 061-02. Applicant proposes to construct an about 14' x 24' single car garage attached to the existing single-family dwelling for an additional about 336 square feet of ground cover. The resulting ground cover ratio would be about 2.16% or about 3,661 square feet. In addition, the Applicants propose to construct a second floor addition (uninhabitable storage space) over a portion of the existing dwelling and the proposed attached garage. The garage would be constructed over an existing brick patio area. Prior to the change in the zoning district from LUG-2 to MMD, the property was conforming in all respects to the dimensional requirements of the Zoning By-law and continues to conform to setback and frontage requirements. However, the lot is now nonconforming as to lot size with the lot containing about 168,594 square feet oflot area in a district that requires a minimum lot size of 10 acres; and as to ground cover ratio with the lot containing about 2.0% in a district that requires a maximum ground cover ratio of 0.5%. The Premises is located at 7 WEST MIACOMET ROAD, Assessor's Map 81, Parcel 62, Land Court Plan No. 17368-A, Lot A4. The property is zoned Moorlands Management District. ---i1 CU\AO~~N1___- Nancy 1.

TITLE The chain oftitle to the subject Property is as follows: November 20, 1988 - To present Charles W.

Jaeckle and Vera Jaeckle Certificate of Title No. 5203 (App licant' s Grandparents) PLANNING BOARD "SPECIAL PERMIT" HISTORY 1. On September 23, 1985, the Planning Board granted a Certificate of Granting of a Special Permit (Nantucket Registry District Document No. 33844) under Nantucket Zoning By- Laws, Section 139-13C and Section 139-30A, for the construction of a single family dwelling on the Property (Planning Board File No. 5-85) with a ground cover of 1,357 square feet. 2. On December 24, 1997, the Planning Board approved a modification to said Special Permit (Planning Board File No. 5-85) and issued a Certificate Granting an Amendment to a previously granted Special Permit (Nantucket Registry District Document No. 78672) and approved the construction of a 670::t square foot addition to the single family dwelling existing on the Property increasing the permitted ground cover to 1,871::t square feet. 3. On October 3,2002, the Planning Board approved a modification to said Special Permit (Planning Board Decision No. 18-02) and issued a Decision of Amendment to a previously granted Special Permit (Nantucket Registry District Document No. 100219) and approved the construction of an addition to the existing single family dwelling and construction of a detached barn on the Property increasing the permitted ground cover to a maximum of 3,335 square feet with the barn accounting for a minimum of 600 square feet. ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS "VARIANCE" HISTORY 1. On September 3, 1997, the Zoning Board, on Application No. 051-97, granted a Variance (Nantucket Registry District Document No. 77354) under Nantucket Zoning By-Laws Section 139-16A, approving the addition of 670::t square feet of ground cover on the subject Property, for a total ground cover of 1,871 square feet. 2. On December 11, 2002, the Zoning Board granted a modification of a previously granted Variance on Application No. 061-02, (Nantucket Registry District Document No. 100220) under Nantucket Zoning By-Laws Section 139-16A, approving the construction of an attached addition to the existing single family residential dwelling on the Property and the construction of a detached barn on the Property increasing the ground cover to a maximum of 3,335 square feet, with the barn accounting for a minimum of 600 square feet. ZONING CLASSIFICATION/PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The subject Property contains a total of3.9 acres (169,594::t) square feet. The locus of the Property was originally located in the Nantucket Zoning District classified as LUG-2 established by enactment of the Nantucket Zoning By-Laws in 1972/1973. The LUG-2 zoning district requires a minimum "buildable" lot size of 80,000 square feet with a ground cover ratio of 4% of existing land area. In 1984, by approved amendments to the Nantucket Zoning By- Laws, the subject Property was reclassified and up-zoned to the Moorlands Management District (hereinafter referred to as "MMD"). The MMD zoning district requires a minimum buildable lot size often (10) acres with a ground cover ratio of .5% of existing land area. The Property is a pre-existing nonconforming lot of record. Under the Zoning Board Variance dated September 3, 1997 (Zoning Board Decision No. 051-97), the Zoning Board granted Fisher a Variance for construction of a 670::t square foot addition to the existing single family dwelling on the subject Property with a total ground cover of 1,357 square feet. Thereafter, on December 11,2002, the Zoning Board in Decision No. 061-02, approved a Modification to the Variance previously granted in Decision No. 051-97, permitting and approving the construction of an addition to the existing single family dwelling and construction of a detached barn on the Property increasing the permitted ground cover to a maximum of 3,335 square feet with the barn accounting for a minimum of 600 square feet. [GROUND COVER: The existing ground cover of the single family dwelling (2,397:t square feet) and detached barn (928:t square feet) on the subject Property totals 3,325:t square feet. The existing total ground cover of 3,325:t is less than the permitted ground cover of 3,335j: as approved in the Modification to the Variance previously granted by the Zoning Board in Decision No. 061-02.] RELIEF SOUGHT BY APPLICANT Fisher seeks relief from the Zoning Board, under Nantucket Zoning By-Law Section 139-16A, for modification of the Variance granted in Zoning Board Decision No. 051-97, as modified by Zoning Board Decision No. 061-02, to permit and approve the construction of a 14' X 24' single car garage attached to Fisher's year round single family dwelling constituting an additional 336 square feet. The total ground cover would be 3,661 square feet equal to a ground cover ratio of 2.16%. Additionally, Fisher seeks reliefto construct a second floor addition (uninhabitable storage attic) over a portion of the existing dwelling attached to the proposed single car garage. Fisher's plans for an addition to the existing residential dwelling with an attached single car garage and second floor uninhabitable storage attic are intended solely for personal use and enjoyment. The attached single car garage shall provide an enclosed storage area for Fisher's personal automobile. The attached garage will be constructed over an existing brick patio and said brick will be used as the surface of the single car garage. The subject Property is located on the northern edge of the MMD neighboring the Miacomet Golf Course. The Property is not subject to flooding and contains no dune grassland, no wetlands and is not beach front property. Fisher, as a year round resident, is aware of the fragile and unique ecological and vegetative environment existing in the MMD area. Fisher, and the Fisher/Jaeckle familial predecessors in interest in the subject property, have maintained a sensitivity to the surrounding environment and Fisher believes that the relief for modification to the previously granted Variance would not adversely impact the moorlands and the scenic integrity of the area. The proposed construction of a single car garage attached to the existing dwelling would be undertaken with careful consideration and protection of plant and animal species, maximize the preservation of moorlands, heathland vegetation, and scenic views and would not disturb the indigenous natural environment existing in the MMD. Fisher maintains that the relief requested herein is necessitated by the up-zoning of the area in which the subject Property is located from the LUG-2 Zoning District to the Moorlands Management District. The up-zoning adversely impacted Fisher's ability to make improvements to the subject Property. In fact, if the Fisher Property had remained in the LUG-2 Zoning District, Fisher would have been entitled to improve said Property by constructing dwellings/structures with a ground cover ratio not to exceed 4% of the locus area (169,594 sq. ft.) equal to 6,783::!:: square feet. Notwithstanding, Fisher's proposed improvement (construction of a single car garage attached to the existing dwelling) for which Fisher seeks a modification of a previously granted Variance would result in a total ground cover of 3,661 square feet equal to a ground cover ratio of 2.16%, which is less than the ground cover Fisher would have been entitled to prior to the up-zoning of Fisher's Property. Moreover, the granting of such relief by the ZBA would not be a substantial detriment to the neighborhood and public good of Nantucket Island. For the foregoing reasons, Fisher respectfully requests the Zoning Board grant a Modification to the Variance relief issued in Zoning Board Decision No. 051-97, as modified by Zoning Board Decision No. 061-02, approving the construction of the single car garage attached to the existing dwelling on the Fisher Property and second floor addition (uninhabitable storage attic) designed, sited and constructed in accordance with the plans, specifications and materials enclosed in support herewith as previously approved by HDC Certificate of Appropriateness No. 49711.

Box 1294 Nantucket, MA 02554 February S, 2007 Re: Site Evaluation with respect to Endangered Species - Fisher Site, 7 West Miacomet Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Guay: As required for a Special Permit within a Moorlands Management District from the Town of Nantucket Zoning Coder we have evaluated the above~referenced site and the proposed work with respect to endangered plant and animal species. The site is comprised of a combination of coastal heathland and sandplain grassland surrounding cultural grassland (lawn and pasture). The site contains a house, a barn and pasture. The proposed work includes the constmction of a one-car garage and second floor attic addition onto an existing house. All work will be over an existing brick patio, landscaped area or existing house. According to the Nantucket Zoning Code, heathlands "represent an extremely fragile and unique environment, and are a rare and endangered landform of North America". Certain endangered plant and animal species may be supported in the area. The Massachusetts Natural Heritage and Endangered Species program has included the area in its "Priority Habitat of Rare Species and also Estimated Habitat of Rare Wildlife" (2006; USGS Nantucket Quadrangle). SITE DESCRIPTION The site consists of a 3.89-acre parcel of land located on the south side of West Miacomet Road in Nantucket,. Massachusetts. The site. contains a house,. a barn,. outbuildings,. lawn,. and pasture. There is a small man-made pond'with a liner along the southern property line; this landscape feature is not under jurisdiction of the Nantucket Wetlands By-law or the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act. 2 The site is primarily lawn (cultural grassland) surrounded by open areas vegetated with grasses and low shrubs (sandplain grasslands and sandplain heathlands). The area to the north of the site is the Miacomet Golf Course (cultural grassland, sandplain grassland and sandplain heathland). The area to the south is managed conservation land (sandplain grassland and sandplain heathland)r The sandplain grassland and sandplain heathland are habitats that could support threatened or endangered plant and animal species. The endangered plant species which may be present in the sandplain grassland or sandplain heathland include Eastern Silvery Aster, Sandplain Flax, Bushy Rockrose, Sandplain Blue-eyed GraSSy St. Andrew's Cross,. Nantucket Shadbush, Purple Needlegrass, Purple Cudweed and Papillose Nut-sedge. These areas provide suitable nesting, fledging and feeding habitat for Short-eared Owl (endangered) and Northern Harrier (threatened). The cultural grasslands (lawn and landscaped areas) are not suitable habitat for the endangered plans and do not provide nesting or fledging sites for the two bird species. The birds may use the areas for taking prey. PROPOSED WORK The proposed work involves the construction of a one-car garage addition and a second story attic over a portion of an existing house. All work will occur over an existing brick. patio, landscaped area, or existing structure. The one-car garage will be constructed using the existing brick patio as the floor. The only earthwork will be for installation of footings. The trenches will be dug either by hand or using a small backhoe and will be completed in less than one day. No other heavy equipment will be used. Since the extent of the work and the use of machinery will be minimal, and all work will be over landscaped areas or existing structures, the work will not impact any species of concern. Since the birds will not use the area immediately around the house for nesting or fledging, in our opinion, it is not necessary to restrict the timing of this project. MESA REGULATIONS The work on the site qualifies for an exemption from the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) regulations. The work involves an addition onto an existing house with less than 50% expansion of the footprint within either existing footprint or over existing maintained landscaped area. The proposed work on the site involves construction of a small garage addition and a second story attic on a portion of an existing house. The existing main house is approximately 23-97 square feet in size and its proposed addition is approximately 3-36 ft2; this constitutes a 14% increase. The second story attic addition is compktdy over the existing footprint. All work will occur within existing maintained lawn area. This work qualifies for exemptions from the MESA regulations under Sections 321 CMR (3&4). Haines Hydrogeologic Consulting 3 RECOMMENDA nONS The following reconunendations have been formulated to protect and preserve the existing and proposed wildlife habitat values surrormding the site. Limit outdoor lighting by directing lights downward. Restrict the use of pesticides and herbicides on the property. Use indigenous non-invasive species with significant wildhfe value for any new landscaping. Establish silt or construction fence no more than 20 feet from the existing and proposed structures- to limit construction activity on the site Stabilize any disturbed area with indigenous drought tolerant grasses. CONCLUSION The site is within an area recognized as sandplain grassland, coastal heathland and cultural grassland. Sandplain grassland and coastal heathland surrOtmding the lawn are potential environments for several endangered plant species and may provide habitat for some endangered animal species. The proposed work to construct a one-car garage and a second story attic addition onto an existing house is small in scale and will take place over an existing house, patio or landscaped area. Therefore, it will not impact any significant plant species or animal habitats. If you have any questions, please call. {I~ David M.

TOWN OF NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 37 WASHINGTON STREET NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554 Assessor's Map 81 Parcel 62 MMD 7 West Miacomet Pond Road Land Court Plan 17368-A, Lot A4 Cert. of Title 11963 At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals held at 1:00 P.M., Friday, August 8, 1997, in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town and County Building, Broad Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, on the Application of CHARLES W. FISHER AND JOAN J. FISHER, TRUSTEES OF FISHER NANTUCKET REALTY TRUST AND CHARLES W. FISHER, II AND CYNTHIA FISHER, of P.O. Box 1177, Nantucket, MA 02554, Board of Appeals File No. 051-97, the Board made the following Decision: 1. Applicants are seeking relief by VARIANCE pursuant to Nantucket Zoning By-Law ~139-32 from the requirements of Nantucket Zoning By-Law 9139-16 (Intensity Regulations - ground cover ratio). Applicants propose to enlarge a l201~ square-foot single-familY dwelling by constructing a 670~ square-foot addition onto the northwesterly side of the structure. Maximum allowable ground cover for the Lot is 1500 square feet. The Locus is nonconforming as to lot size, having a lot area of 169,594+ square feet in the Moorlands Management District that requires a minimum lot area of ten (10) acres and limits the ground cover to 800 square feet or .5% unless a Special Permit is issued by the Planning Board as specified in Nantucket Zoning By-Law ~139-l3. The premises is located at 7 WEST MIACOMET POND ROAD, Assessor's Map 81, Parcel 62, Land Court Plan l7368-A, Lot A4. The property is situated in the Moorlands Management District. 2. The Decision is based upon the Application and the materials submitted with it and the testimony and evidence presented at the hearing. The Planning Board made a negative recommendation based upon a split vote of 3-2. There was one (1) letter in opposition on file. One (1) area resident was at the hearing and spoke in favor of the Application. One (1) interested party, not an abutter, spoke against the grant of relief. 3. Applicants, through counsel, represented that the Locus had been in the family since a time prior to the 1972 enactment of the Zoning By-Law. The Lot met zoning, with the area previously having been zoned Limited-Use-General-II (a minimum lot size of 80,000 square feet). The area was up-zoned in 1984, when the minimum lot size required became ten (10) acres. Under the original LUG-II zoning the Applicants would have been entitled to construct up to 6700zsquare feet of ground cover or 4%. It was further represented that though the additional square footage proposed totaled 670+ square feet, they were actually asking for relief for an additional 371~ square feet. The Planning Board has jurisdiction over all ground cover requests up to a maximum of 1500 square feet for lots of record. It was stated that the 37/~ square feet of additional ground cover asked for above the 1500 square feet, was diminimous considering the size of the lot and further that the additions would not have any visual impact nor cause any destruction of an endangered habitat. The property was located at the northern most edge of the Moorlands Management District (JlMMDJI),70 feet from being sited outside of the district, and is proximate to the Miacomet Golf Club, a public enterprise, as well as a well traveled access road to nearby beaches. Applicants have attempted to design an addition that would maintain the low profile of the structure to make it less obtrusive, by breaking up the massing with roof line changes. It was noted that the height of structures in that area is restricted by By-Law to a maximum of 25 feet forcing dwellings to maintain a lower profile and build horizontally rather than vertically to enlarge living space. Applicant (Charles Fisher, II) stated that he had received Planning Board approval in 1985 to increase the size of hi~ sing~e-family three-bedroom dwell ing from 800~ square feet up to 1500 square fe-et. He pointed out that there were several homes in the area within the MMD that exceeded the allowable 800 square feet as well as the 1500 maximum square feet limitation, with some being situated on lots that were smaller than the Locus. Some of those lots were benefited by subdivision plan freezes that allowed larger structures. Applicant's lot was not, being an isolated lot not held in common ownership with adjoining land at any point since the enactment of zoning. He added that it was necessary to enlarge his dwelling to four bedrooms to accommodate his expanding family. Decks, that are not counted as ground cover, will also be used to minimize disturbance of the natural habitat. Applicant has Historic District Commission approval, Certificate of Appropriateness No. 29577, for the additions as proposed. The land was not purchased after the 1984 inception of the MMD and in fact it was purchased with the understanding that they could build up to 6700~square feet of ground cover. The Lot does not front on the ocean or pond, nor is there any dune grass present. The use of the Lot is solely for residential purposes and more in keeping with the residences that abut the golf course across the way. There will be no impact on erosion nor an scenic integrity. The Lot is surrounded by vacant land. The Applicant further stated that his family was one (1) of the only year-round Island families in the entire MMD, thus the dwelling was not used on a part-time seasonal basis as most of the others were. When he constructed his dwelling in 1984 it was not possible to foresee a change in personal family circumstances. 4. Therefore, the Board, based upon the above stated testimony, finds that owing to circumstances relating to the soil conditions, shape or topography of such land or structures but not affecting generally the zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this Zoning By-Law would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the petitioner or appellant, and the desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of such By-Law. The requested addition of 371+ square feet of ground cover, above the permitted 15DO SF, 'isdimini;ousand will have little or no impact upon the scenic oreenvffironmental integrity'of the MMD area. The Applicants' property is situated in the MMD proximate to a very heavily used public golf course and a well-traveled road that is used to access nearby beaches and other area residences. Applicants (Charles and Cynthia Fisher) face a hardship due to changing family circumstances which could not be foreseen at the time that the district was upzoned. The Board fails to see how the addition of 371~ square feet of ground cover, above the 1500 square feet previouslY permitted by the Nantucket Planning Board, would constitute a substantial detriment to the public good; nor would a grant of relief nullify or derogate from the intent or purpose of the By-Law. The Board further notes that further relief from the Planning Board is necessary for the proposed project, particularly as it relates to the addition of open decks that do not count in the calculation for ground cover. 5. Accordingly, by a vote of four (4) in favor (Williams, O'Mara, Parent and Madden) and one (1) opposed (Sevrens), the Board GRANTS the requested VARIANCE under Nantucket zoning By-Law 9139-16A to allow the addition of up to 670~ square feet of ground cover for a total ground cover of up to 1871~ square feet upon the following conditions: a. There shall be no further expansion of the structures without further relief from the Board of Appeals; and b. The additions shall be constructed in substantial conformance with Certificate of Appropriateness No. 29577, issued by the Nantucket Historic District Commission.

FISHER, II AND CYNTHIA PERRY FISHER, of7 West Miacomet Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, Board of Appeals File No. 061-02, the Board made the following Decision: 1. Applicants are seeking a MODIFICATION of a VARIANCE granted in the Decision in BOA File No. 051-97, which allowed construction of additional ground cover in excess ofthe 0.5% allowed in the Moorlands Management District. In said Decision Applicants were granted VARIANCE relief under Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A (Intensity Regulations - ground cover) to increase the ground cover to about 1,847 square feet. Applicants now propose to construct a new attached garage/learning center of about 48' x 30' and a new addition of about 16' x 7' onto the existing family of the existing single-family dwelling and construct a detached barn of about 30' x 36'. The new additions and barn would constitute an additional ground cover of about 2,632 square feet for a total of about 4,479 square feet. The ground cover ratio would increase from about 1.09% to about 2.64%. The Locus would continue to meet setback, frontage and parking requirements. In the alternative, Applicants are seeking new relief by VARIANCE under Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A. The Locus is nonconforming as to lot size having a lot area of about 169,594 square feet (about 3.9 acres) in a zone that requires a minimum lot size of 10 acres; and as to ground cover ratio with the Lot containing about 1.09% in a district that allows 0.5%. The Premises is located at 7 WEST MIACOMET ROAD, Assessor's Map 81, Parcel 62, Land Court Plan 17368-A, Lot A4. The property is zoned Moorlands Management District. 2. The Decision by the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals (herein referred to as the "Board") is based upon the Application and accompanying materials submitted by Applicants with said Application and the testimony and evidence presented by Applicants at the hearing on Friday, October 18, 2002. There was no opposition expressed at the hearing or in writing on file. The Nantucket Planning Board gave a positive recommendation and granted and approved an Amendment to a previously granted Special Permit (File No. 5-85) in its Decision No. 18-02. After this Application was submitted and noticed for a public hearing, the Planning Board held a public hearing. Relief was granted with conditions to allow additional ground cover, which required reduction in the scope of proposed work from what was contained in the original notice. Applicants then appeared before the Zoning Board of Appeals on October 18, 2002 with a request to reduce their proposal in accordance with the Planning Board conditions, which was within the scope of the original notice and did not require new notice. 3. Applicants, through counsel and through personal testimony, represented that they are the title owners ofthe property situated at 7 West Miacomet Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, located in the Moorlands Management Zoning District (MMD). The Applicants' property is a pre-existing nonconforming lot of record as established in the previous Decision by this Board in File No. 051-97. Applicants now propose to enlarge the 1,868 square-foot existing single-family dwelling by constructing an addition onto the dwelling and additionally Applicants desire to construct a detached barn on the subject property with a total ground cover on the Lot not to exceed 3,335 square feet, reduced from the about 4,479 square feet as originally noticed, as allowed by the Planning Board in separate action. The attached addition to the existing single-family dwelling, together with the detached barn, will create an additional 1,5672: square feet of ground cover. The proposed attached addition to the existing dwelling and proposed detached barn would increase the ground cover ratio from 1.102:% to 1.972:%. New site plans were submitted which showed the approximate building envelopes of the addition and new barn. However, as the Historic District Commission had not issued a Certificate of Appropriateness upon which to base a grant of relief in this Decision, no exact footprint or allocation of specific ground cover was allocated to the addition and detached barn. All new construction would meet all setback requirements. Applicants submitted the Nantucket Planning Board Decision No. 18-02, dated October 3,2002 in which it granted an Amendment to a previously granted Special Permit (File No. 85-5) which Decision was approved by the Nantucket Planning Board on October 10,2002, and recorded with the Nantucket Town Clerk on October 16,2002. Specific conditions were included which are incorporated below in this Board's grant of relief. An opinion from Haines Hydrogeologic Consulting, dated July 30, 2002 was submitted in which the conclusion was made that the proposed land use would be in keeping with the proposed management plan for the adjacent conservation land and would have no adverse impact on the protected MMD area; in fact, such land use may enhance the wildlife habitat values of the area. 4. Applicants further represented that the property contains a total of3.9 acres (169,5942:) square feet. The LOCUS was originally located in the Nantucket Zoning District classified as LUG-2 established by enactment of the Nantucket Zoning By-Laws in 1972/1973. The LUG-2 zoning district requires a minimum "buildable" lot size of 80,000 square feet with a ground cover ratio of 4% of existing land area. In 1984, through approved amendments to the Nantucket Zoning By-Laws, the subject property was reclassified and up-zoned to the Moorlands Management District (herein referred to as the "MMD"). The MMD zoning district requires a minimum buildable lot size often (10) acres with a ground cover ratio of .5% of existing land area, Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-13C provides, in pertinent part, that the "Planning Board is hereby designated the sole Special Permit granting authority for all uses, structures and extensions or alterations of uses or structures within the Moorlands Management District". Under the previous Planning Board Special Permit, dated September 23, 1985 (Planning Board File No. 5-85), the Planning Board granted the Applicants relief to allow construction of a single-family dwelling on the subject property with a ground cover of 1 ,357::t.square feet. The Planning Board found in its decision in Planning Board File No. 5-85, that the Applicants were entitled to a ground cover of 1,500 square feet in accordance with Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A (Intensity Regulations) as affected by Section 139-33E(2)(b) (Pre-existing Nonconforming Structures/Lots). In fact, the Applicants originally constructed a single- family dwelling with a ground cover of 1,200:i:: square feet. On December 8, 1997, after a hearing on an Application by Applicants to modify the Special Permit in Planning Board File No. 5-85, the Planning Board granted the Applicants a Certificate for Amendment to said Special Permit approving the construction of a 670:i:: square foot addition onto the existing 1,200 square-foot year-round single-family dwelling increasing the ground coverage on the subject property to 1,871:i:: square feet. On September 3, 1997, the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals granted a Variance in the Decision in File No. 051-97 (Nantucket Registry District Document No. 77354) under Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A (Intensity Regulations- ground cover), approving the addition of 670::t.square feet of ground cover on the subject property increasing the ground coverage to 1871:i:: square feet. In fact, the present ground cover on the subject property is 1868:i:: square feet. 5. Therefore, based upon the foregoing, the Board finds that the proposed expansion and alteration (addition) to the existing dwelling and the proposed construction of a detached barn would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformities, stating that the proposed project would improve the existing dwelling and have little impact on the neighborhood. In additi~m the Board affirms the findings made in the grant of relief by Variance in the Decision in BOA File No. 051-97 in this grant of the Modification of said Variance, and finds that due to the uniqueness and location ofthe Applicants' property within the MMD, i.e., on the outermost northern part of said district, surrounded by land owned by the Nantucket Land Bank/Miacomet Golf Club, proximate no other dwellings, and immediately adjacent to the Residentia1- Commercial-2 zoning district that has a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, and owing to circumstances relating to the soil, shape or topography of such land or structures and especially affecting such land or structures but not affecting generally the zoning district in which it is located, a literal enforcement of the provisions ofthis Zoning By-law would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise, to the Applicants, and the 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 such By-law. 6. Accordingly, at the hearing on October 18,2002, by a UNANIMOUS VOTE, the Board GRANTS the requested MODIFICATION of the VARIANCE previously granted by this Board in the Decision in BOA File No. 051-97, under Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A, to allow the construction of an attached addition to Applicants' single- family residential dwelling and construction of a detached barn on the subject property subject to the following conditions, with (a) through (g) consistent with those conditions imposed by the Nantucket Planning Board in its decision in Special Permit No. 18-02, with the exclusion the Planning Board's condition (1) as this Board did not require a site plan indicating size and dimension due to the fact that the Historic District Commission had not established the footprint of said addition and detached barn as of this hearing: (a). That the total ground cover shall be limited to a maximum of3,335 square feet with the barn accounting for a minimum of 600 square feet; (b). That the barn be used solely for the purpose of housing horses and/or farm animals and shall not be converted to any other use (i.e. dwelling, workshop, etc.); (c). That the barn not be used for any type of commercial activity (i.e. commercial horse riding or boarding for profit); (d). That in the event the barn should become vacant of farm animals for a period exceeding three consecutive years, the barn shall be removed by demolition or relocation from the property and the land be restored to its natural vegetative state; (e). That all exterior construction shall be limited to August 1 through April 30 of any year in order to minimize disturbance of the breeding cycle of Short-eared Owls and Northern Harriers; (t). That no outdoors floodlighting shall be permitted. Any outdoor lighting shall be limited to either foot lighting or shielded fixtures; (g). That any disturbed areas be replaced with native plant species in order to prevent the spread of non-native invasive plant species in the Moorlands Management District. Any disturbed areas around the proposed barn should be allowed to re-vegetate naturally. Pesticides and herbicides beyond ten feet from the primary dwelling are strictly prohibited; (h) The height of the roof ridgeline of the addition to the single-family residential dwelling shall not be greater than IS:!: feet; (i). The height ofthe roof ridgeline of the detached barn shall not be greater than 22:!: feet; (061-02) Dated: DECEMBER~, 20002 C.
