Addendum to Zoning Board Application
Richard E. Norton and Valerie G. B. Norton
4 Tawpoot Road, Nantucket
The Applicant requests a Special Permit pursuant to Section 139-33C(2) of the
Nantucket Zoning By-law so as to validate an unintentional intrusion into the
front yard setback as shown on the enclosed plan. A surveying firm had been
involved in staking out the foundation for the new studio/ shop in the northwest
corner of the property prior to construction, however, when the as built plan was
prepared, the building was found to be situated 31.8 feet from Tawpoot Road at
its closest point instead of the required 35 foot setback.
This property is located in a rural area at the end of a little-traveled road with
ample vegetation to screen the building. Relocating the building would involve
significant expense. Because the violation was unintentional and resulted in an
intrusion into the setback of less than five feet, special permit relief to validate
the siting is available. Given the location, "the burden of correcting the intrusion
substantially outweighs any benefit to an abutter of eliminating the intrusion."

DECISION:
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals on
Friday, August 8, 2008, at 12:00 P.M., at 2 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket,
Massachusetts, the Board made the following Decision on the Application in
Zoning Board of Appeals File No. 050-08 of Richard E. Norton and Valerie G.B.
Norton of 4 Tawpoot Road, Nantucket, MA 02554.
2. The Applicant is requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to
Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16(C)(2) (unintentional setback intrusion)
to validate the unintentional setback intrusion into the front yard. The
studio/ shop is located 31.8 feet from Tawpoot Road in a zoning district that
requires a 35 foot front yard setback.
The site is located at 4 Tawpoot Road, is shown on Nantucket Tax
Assessor's Map 54 as Parcel 112, and is registered at the Nantucket County
Registry of Deeds in Book 770, Page 223.
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. No abutter comment was received either
in favor of or against the Application.
4. Applicant, through counsel, represented that the studio/shop
building in the northwest corner of the lot as shown on the Building Location
Plan dated June 13, 2008 prepared by Charles W. Hart & Associates, Inc., was
sited 31.8 feet from Tawpoot Road due to a surveying error in staking the
location of the foundation. The error was not discovered until the as-built plan
was prepared after construction of the building had been completed. The aerial
photograph from the Town's GIS website was also submitted to illustrate the
heavily vegetated and rural character of the surrounding parcels. Given that the
violation was unintentional and resulted in an intrusion into the setback of less
than five (5) feet, special permit relief is available to validate the intrusion.
5. The Board finds that the burden of correcting the intrusion
substantially outweighs any benefit to an abutter of eliminating the intrusion,
and that the intrusion occurred even though the applicant relied on a licensed
survey firm. The Board also finds that the issuance of a special permit to validate
the siting of the studio/ shop under these circumstances is in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-law.
8. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote (5-0), the Board of Appeals
decided to GRANT the requested relief by SPECIAL PERMIT pursuant to
Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-16(C)(2) to validate the siting of the
studio/ shop as shown on the plan attached as Exhibit A, with the following
condition:
(a) No further alteration to the portion of the structure that is situated
within the setback shall take place without further relief from this Board.
