Kizilbash and Nancy Dubuc, request a Special Permit pursuant to Sections 139-30A and 139-16(C)(2) of the Nantucket Zoning By-law for their property located at 2 Huntington Street, Nantucket, MA 02554, ("hereinafter the Property"). The Property is shown as Lots numbered 30, 31, 32 and 33 in Block No. 18 on a plan numbered 5004-G, Sheet 5, filed with Certificate of Title No. 813 at the Nantucket Registry District of the Land Court, being a subdivision plan entitled "Plan of Tom Nevers Tract, Atlantic View, Section 5, Nantucket, Mass., owned by Nantucket Land Trust, Oct., 1916, H.A. Millhouse, C.E.," filed at the Land Registration Office, Boston, Oct. 5, 1916 and another piece of land shown as Lot 483 upon plan numbered 5004-W, drawn by Massachusetts Department of Public Works, H.G. Gray, Chief Engineer, dated October 30, 1956 and December 12, 1956, and filed with Certificate of Title No. 868 at the Registry District of Nantucket County. The Property is located in the Limited Use General - 3 (LUG-3) zoning district. The rear yard setback requirement in the LUG-3 zoning district is twenty (20') feet (ten (10') feet for Lots of Record). The Property is a lot of record as evidenced by the above-referenced recorded Plans dated 1916 and 1956 respectively. There is currently one (1) single family dwelling on the Property. The door on the exterior easterly elevation of the dwelling has two (2) granite steps directly adjacent to the door. The bottom step is currently located 8.8' feet from the rear yard lot line. As such, the steps intrude into the rear yard setback by 1.4' feet as shown on an As-Built Plot Plan prepared by Charles W. Hart & Associates, Inc., dated May 1, 2008, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "A". The Applicants purchased the Property from Mark J. Cutone and Lynda A. Cutone on September 24,2007. The dwelling was issued a building permit on July 30, 1996 and a Certificate of Occupancy issued for this Permit on February 6, 1997. On approximately May 16, 2001, the Applicants' predecessor in title, Mark Cutone, was issued a building permit to construct a 264 square foot addition for a study and additional storage area. The floor plans for this work, which were submitted to the Building Department as part of the application process and subsequently stamped "approved" by the Building Department on June 5, 2001, show the two (2) granite steps on the easterly elevation of the dwelling. See Exhibit "B" hereto. The Nantucket Building Department issued a building permit for the addition, No. 475-01, on May 16, 2001, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "C". At that time, in May 2001, it was the position and policy of the Nantucket Building Department that stone/granite steps, such as those on the easterly elevation of the dwelling, were "landscape features" and were not considered part of the dwelling. As such, they were permitted to be located within the setback. The Applicants predecessor in title, Mark Cutone, placed the granite steps in question on the Property in 2001, as shown on the attached floor plans, Exhibit "e" hereto. See also Affidavit of Mark Cutone, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 "D". Sometime after May 2001, the position and policy of the Nantucket Building Department and/or Zoning Enforcement Officer ("ZEO") changed so that stone/granite steps such as those on the dwelling would now in fact be considered part of the structure and therefore must comply with the setback requirements of the LUG-3 Zoning District. While the steps were shown on the approved floor plans submitted in 2001 to the Building Department, were permitted as such and were installed as applied for, the steps, due to the policy change of the Building Department and/or Zoning Enforcement Officer, are now considered an unintentional intrusion into the setback by 1.4' feet. The ZEO recently issued a letter to the Applicants denying their request for a Certificate of Occupancy for Building Permit No. 475-01 (mentioned above) and Building Permit No. 11128-07 (accessory shed) due to the unintentional setback intrusion of the granite steps. Accordingly, the Applicants are seeking a Special Permit pursuant to section 139-16(C)(2) to validate the minor setback intrusion. The intrusion is much less than five feet and the rear yard lot line is heavily vegetated as shown on the attached photographs, Exhibit "E" hereto. In addition, the burden of correcting the intrusion substantially outweighs any benefit to abutters of eliminating the intrusion as it has existed for over seven (7) years. The Applicants respectfully request that the Board grant them the requested Special Permit. 2 EXHIBIT "A" ONLY ORIGINALlY STAMPED AND ENDORSED COPIES OF THIS PLAN SHALL BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE CERTIFYING LAND SURVEYOR.

Kizilbash and Nancy Dubuc, of775 Sixth Avenue, New York, New York 10001, Board of Appeals File No. 036-08, the Board made the following decision: 1. Applicants are seeking Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Sections 139-30A (special permits) and 139-16(C)(2) (unintentional setback intrusion). The applicants are seeking to validate the pre-existing steps sited 1.4 feet in the rear yard setback. In the alternative, applicants are seeking variance relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-32 (variances) to validate the location of the steps in the setback. The site is located at 2 Huntington Street, is shown on Nantucket Tax Assessor's Map 71.3.2 as Parce1331, is shown on Land Court Plan 5004-G, Book 18, Sheet 5, and is recorded at the Nantucket County Registry of Deeds as Certificate of Title No. 22742. 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. The property is located in the Limited Use General- 3 (LUG-3) zoning district. In this zoning district, the rear yard setback requirement is twenty (20) feet (ten [10] feet for Lots of Record). The property is a lot of record as there are recorded plans dated 1916 and 1956. There is a single family dwelling on the property with two (2) granite steps directly adjacent to the door. The bottom step is presently located 8.8 feet from the rear yard lot line. The step intrudes approximately 1.4 feet into the rear yard setback. The applicants purchased the property in 2007. In 1996, the dwelling was issued a building permit and a Certificate of Occupancy in 1997. In 2001, the predecessor in title was issued a building permit to construct a 264 square foot addition for a study and additional storage area. The floor plans that were submitted to the building department, and were subsequently approved, show the two (2) granite steps on the easterly elevation of the dwelling. At that time, it was the position and policy of the Nantucket Building Department that stone/granite steps, such as those on the easterly elevation of the dwelling were, "landscape features" and were not considered part of the dwelling. Therefore, they were permitted to be located within the setback. However, it is now the position of the Zoning Enforcement Officer and/or Building Department that stone/granite steps are considered part of the structure and therefore must comply with the setback requirements of the LUG-3 Zoning District. 4. Counsel for the Applicant explained the change in policy, which classified stone/granite steps as part of the structure, came into effect after 200 I. As this intrusion has existed for seven years, the burden of correcting the minor 1.4 foot intrusion substantially outweighs any benefit to the abutters of eliminating the intrusion. 5. Therefore, the Board specifically finds that the location of the stone/granite steps on the Locus are not substantially more detrimental than the existing non-conforming structure to the neighborhood and; therefore, there are sufficient grounds upon which to base a grant of special permit. 8. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS VOTE, the Board grants the requested SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-30(A) (special permits) from the requirements in Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16 (intensity regulations) to validate the location of the existing granite steps located 1.4 feet in the rear yard setback subject to the following conditions: (a) The steps shall remain as shown on the site plan entitled "Zoning Board of Appeals Site Plan" dated May I, 2008, prepared by Charles W. Hart and Associates, and attached as "Exhibit A".
