The locus presents a pre-existing non-conforming structure on a conforming 5,729 sf +/- lot. The structure is shown on Lot 1 of Land Court Plan 33523-A dated January 30, 1967 and thus was constructed prior to the enactment of Zoning in 1972. See "Exhibit A". Although there were a number of non-conformities when the Applicant purchased the property in 2005, the pertinent non-conformity for this application was a side setback non-conformity where the structure was sited as close as 2.1 feet +/- at the northwestern side yard line in a zoning district that requires a five (5) foot setback. See site plan by Robert A. Emack dated March 18,2005 at "Exhibit B". In 2005 Applicant applied for and received a Building Permit to renovate the structure and to move it approximately three (3) feet to the southeast in order to correct the pre- existing non-conformity with the northwestern side setback. Applicant's contractor did not apply for a Special Permit because the proposed move would have placed the structure out of the setback and removed the pre-existing non-conformity entirely. The work is complete and the Applicant is seeking to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. The new as-built plot plan by Robert A. Emack, Surveyor, dated March 31, 2008 reveals that due to contractor error, the setback encroachment was not entirely corrected by the building move. See "Exhibit C". Applicant requests that the Board issue a Special Permit to validate the current side setback at 4.9 feet +/- in accordance with the site plan from Robert A. Emack, Surveyor, dated March 31, 2008 and find that the current setback non-conformity has no negative impact on the area or the abutters and is not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the previous more non-conforming situation. Applicant further states that he operated in good faith in the permitting process with the Building Department in requesting the move of the structure, corrected a number of other non-conformities during construction and, but for contractor error, would have completely corrected the side setback non-conformity. The lot is in the Residential -1 (R-l) zoning district. R-l zoning requires a minimum lot size of 5,000 sf +/-, minimum frontage of fifty (50) feet, five (5) foot side and rear setbacks and a ten (10) foot front setback. P.. ,.ca.I)4. IM~1Al4l'" ,---'-'.

NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS TWO FAIRGROUNDS ROAD NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554 Assessor's Map 42.4.1 Parcel 18 Residential-1 Land Court Plan 33523-A Lot 1 Certificate of Title 21,744 1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals on Thursday, June 12,2008, at 1 :00 P.M., at 2 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following Decision on the Application in Zoning Board of Appeals File No. 039-08 of BERNARD P. COONEY, III, 3 Willard Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554. 2. Applicant is seeking Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16(C)(2) (unintentional setback intrusion). Applicant obtained a building permit to renovate and relocate his dwelling in order to conform to setback requirements. Upon completion of the renovation and relocation, a survey indicated the side setback is 4.9 feet in a zoning district that requires a five (5) foot setback. In the alternative, applicants seek Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-33A (pre-existing, nonconforming uses, structures, and lots) or, in the alternative, Variance relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw 139-32 (variance) pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16 (intensity regulations). The site is located at 3 Willard Street, is shown on Tax Assessor's Map 42.4.1 as Parcel 18, and is registered at the Nantucket Registry District of the Land Court as Certificate of Title No. 21,744. 3. Our Decision is based upon the Application and accompanying materials, representations and testimony received at our public hearing. The Planning Board made no recommendation finding that the Application did not present any issues of planning concern. One abutter letter was received in favor of the application. No abutter comments were received in opposition to the application. 4. Applicant represented through counsel that the Northwest comer of the pre-existing, nonconforming dwelling is currently sited as close as approximately 0.1 feet in the side yard setback. The dwelling was originally as close as approximately 2.1 feet to the side lot line in a district that requires a five (5) foot side yard setback. In 2005, the applicant applied for, and obtained, a building permit to renovate and relocate the dwelling approximately three (3) feet in the Southeast direction to correct the non- conformity. The applicant also represented that he acted in good faith to bring the locus into conformity with zoning requirements, including removing a set of stairs in the side yard setback and two (2) out-buildings. It was not until after the structure was moved that the as-built showed that, due to contractor error, the side yard setback encroachment was not entirely corrected as the Northwest comer of the dwelling is as close as approximately 0.1 feet in the side yard setback. The Northwest comer of the dwelling is sited as close as approximately 4.9 feet to the side yard lot line in a district that requires a five (5) foot side yard setback. This nonconformity was the result of a construction error by the contractor. The Board considered the error to be inconsequential because the 0.1 foot encroachment into the side yard setback was so minor and because it was the result of a contracting error. Therefore, the Board found that allowing the Northwest corner of the dwelling to remain within the setback would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformity and is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16C(2). 5. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote of 5-0, the Board of Appeals voted to GRANT the requested relief by SPECIAL PERMIT pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16 (C)2 to allow the existing side setback intrusion with the following conditions: a) The side yard setback distance be reduced from 5 feet to 4.9 feet; and b) All work shall be in compliance with the plan entitled "As-Built Plot Plan in Nantucket, Massachusetts" prepared by Emack Surveying dated March 31,2008.
