At a Public Hearing of the NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS held at 1 :00
p.m., Friday, April 11, 2008, in the Garage Area, 2 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts
02554 on the Application of John Merson and Carol Bunevich, of71 Baxter Road, PO Box 445,
Siasconset, Massachusetts 02564, Board of Appeals File No. 017-08, the Board made the
following decision:
1. Applicant is seeking Variance relief pursuant to Zoning Bylaw section 139-32
(Variances) from Zoning Bylaw section 139-16 (Intensity Regulations) in order to re-site the
dwelling away from the eroding coastal bluff. The Applicant is proposing to remove the
garage/cottage and place the main dwelling on the site of the removed garage/cottage. The
structure will be sited no closer than ten (10) feet from the layout of Baxter Road. The site is
located at 71 Baxter Road is shown on Nantucket Tax Assessor's Map 49 as Parcel 26.1, is
shown on Land Court Plan 17825-A, and is recorded at the Nantucket County Registry of Deeds
in Book 162, Page 83.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and the material submitted with it and the
testimony and evidence presented at the Hearing. The Planning Board made no
recommendation, as the matter was not of planning concern. There were no letters on file in
favor of or in opposition to the Application. No opposition was expressed at the Hearing.
3. Locus is a pre-existing nonconforming lot of record having a total ground cover ratio of
24.4% in a zoning district that requires 12.5%. The structures predate zoning as they were
constructed in 1940. By removing the existing garage/cottage and relocating the primary
dwelling, the Applicant will be reducing his ground cover to 10.1 % and conforming to the
ground cover ratio required in the SR-2 Zoning District. Additionally, the locus is
nonconforming as to the front yard setback. Presently, the garage/cottage is sited 2.5 feet from
the front yard lot line. The Zoning District requires a 30 foot front yard setback. Upon removal
of the garage/cottage and re-siting of the primary dwelling, the primary dwelling will be sited no
closer than ten (10) feet from the front yard lot line. The existing locations of the house and
garage on the site, as well as the proposed relocation of the house, are shown on the attached Site
Plan prepared by Nantucket Surveyors, LLC, dated March 6, 2008, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit "A".
4. Therefore, the Board specifically finds that due to the topography of the lot and the
proximity of said eroding coastal bank, and especially affecting this Property and not generally
the zoning district in which the Locus is situated, that a literal enforcement of the provisions of
Section 139-16A of the Nantucket Zoning Bylaw would involve substantial hardship, financial
and otherwise, to the Applicant and that relief would be in harmony with the general purpose of
the Zoning Bylaw and may be granted without substantially derogating from the intent of the
Bylaw and, as such, there are sufficient grounds upon which to base a grant of variance.
8. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS VOTE, the Board grants the V ARIANCE under
Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-32 from the intensity regulations in Nantucket Zoning
Bylaw Section 139-16(C)(1) to alter the pre-existing, nonconforming structures on the locus and
to reduce the westerly front yard setback distance from thirty (30) feet to ten (10) feet to allow
the relocation of the single-family dwelling as proposed upon the following conditions:
(a) The relocation shall be done in substantial conformance with Exhibit "A"; and
(b) No construction will take place between June 1 and September 15.
