NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 1 East Chestnut Street Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Assessor's Map 49, Parcel 13 45 Baxter Road, Siasconset Sconset Residential-2 Plan Book 19, Page 24 Lot 39 Deed, Book 928, Page 88 DECISION: 1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals, scheduled on Friday, November 18, 2005, continued without opening to December 13, 2005, and continued again without opening to January 6, 2006, at 1:00 P.M., at which time it was heard, in the Conference Room, in the Town Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following decision on the application of ARTHUR I. READE, JR., as Trustee of 45 BAXTER ROAD NOMINEE TRUST, c/o Reade, Gullicksen, Hanley & Gifford, LLP, Post Office Box 2669, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02584, File No. 082-05: 2. The Applicant is seeking relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning By-law 5139-33.A(1) (alteration and expansion of a pre-existing, nonconforming structure)and 5139-33.A(9) (removal and reconstruction of part of a structure exceeding the permitted ground cover ratio). The Applicant proposes to construct a new foundation under the single-family dwelling upon the locus, wi thout coming any closer to the lot lines as to which the dwelling is nonconforming than the existing structure now is sited. The structure is proposed to be moved farther away from the northerly and southerly side lot lines as well as from the front lot line along Baxter Road, reducing the nonconforming setback intrusions although not eliminating them. Portions of the rear part of the structure toward Baxter Road and a southerly portion of the house would be removed and reconstructed substantially in the same locations, and the resulting ground cover ratio would not exceed the pre-existing ground cover ratio of about 27.46% (or about 2,354 square feet of ground cover). There would be an increase in the elevation of the structure as a result of the construction of the new foundation, but the elevation would not exceed the maximum of 30 feet above mean grade. In addition or in the al ternati ve, the Applicant is seeking relief by VARIANCE from the provisions of By-law 5139- 16.A (Intensity Regulations) to complete the project as proposed. The locus is nonconforming as to lot area. containing about 8,569 square feet, with the minimum lot area in this zoning district being 20,000 square feet; as to front yard setback, with the structure being sited as close as about 10.8 feet to the front lot line along Baxter Road, with 30 feet being the minimum required; as to side yard setback, with the structure being sited 1 as close as about 9.0 feet from the northerly side lot line as measured from the unconstructed "Way" abutting the locus to the north (with overhangs and a gas tank sited closer), with minimum side yard setback in this district being ten feet; and as to ground cover ratio, being about 27.47 % at present, with the maximum in this zoning district being the greater of 12.5 % or 1,500 square feet, whichever is greater. (Reference is made to Board of Appeals File No. 067-88, which allowed earlier changes to the dwelling.) The locus is situated at 45 BAXTER ROAD, SIASCONSET, Assessor's Map 49, Parcel 13, is shown upon plan recorded with Nantucket Deeds in Plan Book 19, Page 24, as Lot 39, and is within a Sconset Residential-2 zoning district. 3. Our Decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials, and representations and testimony recei ved at our public hearing. There was no Planning Board recommendation, on the basis that no matter of planning concern was presented. Except for the presentation by the Applicant's representatives, there was no support or opposition presented at the public hearing. (The Applicant represented that efforts had been made to address concerns of one neighbor, and that as a result of changes made to the project by the Applicant that neighbor no longer desired to object; this was confirmed by counsel for the neighbor at the public hearing.) 4. As presented by the Applicant, the proposed alterations to the existing dwelling, described in Paragraph 2, would result in ground cover not being increased and nonconforming setbacks also not being increased. The overall increase in the ridge height would be limited to one foot in the absolute elevation of the highest roof ridge line, in response to concerns expressed by the neighbor and the Nantucket Historic District Commission ("HDC") . The HDC has approved the proposed changes. The existing and proposed site plan for the locus are shown upon a plan by Charles W. Hart and Associates, Inc., dated December 22, 2005, a reduced copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 5. Based upon the foregoing, the Board of Appeals, by a vote of four members (Waine, O'Mara, Loftin and Murphy) in favor and one (Sevrens) opposed, made the finding that the proposed alterations to the dwelling upon the locus, subject to the condi tions herein set forth, would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformities, and by the same vote of four members in favor and one opposed, GRANTED relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning By-law 5139-33.A(1) and (9), to allow the alteration, including partial demolition and reconstruction, of the pre- existing, nonconforming dwelling as requested by the Applicant, subject to the following conditions: 2 . .. (a) All work shall be done in substantial conformity with the plans filed with the HDC and approved under its Certificate of Appropriateness No. 47,384, as may be amended from time to time; (b) All work shall be done In substantial conformity with the Exhibit A plan; (c) The absolute elevation of the ridge upon the structure as altered shall not be increased by more than one foot above its present elevation; (d) Maximum ground cover of the structure as altered shall not exceed 2,354 square feet; and (e) No setback distance which is now conforming shall be made nonconforming, and no setback distance which is now nonconforming shall be reduced.

The locus now has ground cover of about 2,354 square feet, and the locus contains about 8,569 square feet in ground cover, for a ground cover ratio of about 27.47%; maximum permitted ground cover in this Sconset Residential-2 zoning district is 12.5%, or 1,500 square feet, for a pre-existing, undersized lot of record having area of at least 5,000 square feet under ~139-33.E(2) (a).

The structure as resited and altered will continue to be within these setbacks, but the nonconforming setbacks will be reduced. Ground cover will continue to be about 2,354 square feet; no new nonconformities will be created. To the extent necessary and in the alternative, relief by Variance from the Intensity Regulations contained in By-law ~139-16.A is also requested.
