Deed Ref: 660/194
At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals held at 1 P.M., on March
8, 2002, in the Conference Room, Town Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, MA
on the Application ofRPN, LLC of 14 Dave's Street, Nantucket, MA 02554, Board of Appeals
No. 026-02, the Board made the following Decision:
1. Applicant is seeking relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning By-Law
Section 139-33A (alteration/extension of a pre-existing nonconforming structure/use), and to the
extent necessary, a MODIFICATION of the Decisions in BOA File Nos. 114-92, and 012-98.
Applicant proposes to alter and extend a pre-existing nonconforming structure, a tavern, by
constructing an about 612 square-foot exterior, covered porch (surrounded by a solid board
fence) onto the southwesterly side of the structure, to provide an outdoor smoking area, due to
the passage at the 2001 Annual Town Meeting of the warrant article which prohibited smoking
in restaurants and bars. The deck would also provide a secondary means of access and egress for
the handicap. The existing primary access on Dave Street would continue to be maintained as
such. The current seating and occupancy capacity would not be increased. No further parking
spaces would be required with the construction of the deck. The unimproved parking lot
currently provides for forty-three (43) parking spaces, where eighty-four (84) are required under
the Zoning By-Law. The proposed deck would be constructed over four (4) of the existing
spaces. Therefore, Applicant is also seeking relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket
Zoning By-Law Section 139-18 to waive the four (4) aforementioned spaces. The Locus is
nonconforming as to parking, loading and setbacks.
The Premises is located at 12 & 16 DAVES STREET, Assessor's Map 55, Parcel 158,
Plan Book 19, Page 6, Lot 1, and Assessor's Map 55, Parcel 159, Plan Book 18, Page 33, Lot 3,
respectively. The property is zoned Residential-Commercial.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application, the materials accompanying the application,
as well as the testimony and evidence presented at the Hearing. The Planning Board
recommended that there be no loss of parking and that the parking be provided off-site to
mitigate the loss of parking spaces. There was one (1) letter on file that suggested several ideas
for mitigating the impact of the deck and the Chicken Box:in general.
3. The Applicant provided a detailed Major Commercial Development ('MCD") Analysis
and Parking information in this Application. The prior BOA decisions included one for
modification of existing bathrooms and construction of storage areas, which would have added
approximately 195 square feet of floor area. However, because no work was performed
following the decision, the special permit lapsed by operation ofthe By-Law. In addition, the
BOA granted approval to allow four (4) of Applicant's parking spaces to be leased as parking
during Applicant's off-peak hours to a neighboring property owner to meet his parking
requirements for operation of his restaurant. After analysis, the BOA determined that this prior
relief, and the current proposal do not exceed MCD thresholds as the addition ofthe deck would
not increase square footage of the existing structure, nor increase the current occupancy of the
Premises, nor require any increase in the parking requirements.
4. The Property has pre-existing nonconformities as to off-street parking. As previously
noted by this Board, the unimproved parking lot at the Premises provides for forty-three (43)
parking spaces, where eighty-four (84) are required by By-Law. The proposed deck, to be
situated on the southwesterly side of the structure, would occupy four (4) of the forty-three (43)
previously existing parking spaces related to Applicant's use. Applicant seeks to have the Board
waive these four (4) spaces. Applicant represented that every effort was made to enter into an
agreement with an abutter for off-site parking, but has been unable to do so. Applicant has
represented that it is willing to implement and enforce a policy of not allowing any of its
employees to park in the parking lot at the Premises to mitigate the effects of the elimination of
the four (4) parking spots by the deck.
5. The approximately 612 square-foot covered deck on the southwest end of the existing
building would be surrounded on one (1) side by the existing building and on the remaining three
(3) sides by a boarded fence wall with a lattice top. The deck and fence wall have Historic
District Commission approval issued in Certificate of Appropriateness No. 38,548. There will be
a handicap exit ramp off the deck. Applicant has further agreed that it has retained a landscaping
company to adorn the deck and surrounding areas of the Premises with appropriate greenery.
6. The purpose of the construction of the deck is to provide an outdoor defined area for
customers who wish to smoke. The April 2001 Town Meeting passed a By-Law banning all
smoking in public places effective as of September 1,2001. The Applicants do not propose to
add additional seating or increase the occupancy of300, as certified by the Building Department.
Rather, they wish to accommodate patrons who wish to smoke without having to go outside to
the street in front of the existing building to do so.
7. Applicant represented, and submitted documentary evidence, that on November 7, 200 1
Applicant received approval from the Nantucket Board of Selectman and the Mass. Alcoholic
Beverages Control Commission to add the about 612 square-foot deck. The conditions imposed
were the following: that the door to the new deck should be kept closed at all times - not to be
propped open under any circumstances; that there be no wait staff provided to patrons on the
deck; and that the deck not be fitted with benches or seating of any type. In addition, Applicant
represents that the door on Dave Street will continue to be the main entrance and free access into
the bar from the street to the bar, via the deck, will not be allowed. Applicant has petitioned the
Board of Selectman to reconsider the condition that the deck not be fitted with benches or seating
of any type.
8. Therefore, the Board finds that Special Permit relief may be granted to allow the
Modification and allow construction ofthe approximately 612 square-foot covered deck, with
the ramp and wood board fence with the lattice top to allow patrons to circulate to the outside
deck with their beverages and/or snacks in order to smoke. The Board further finds that said
relief is necessary in light of the new Town By-Law to allow Applicant to meet the needs of its
patrons and to provide a secure outdoor area with minimum impact on neighbors, and would not
be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than existing nonconformities and would
not increase the certified occupancy, and be in harmony with the intent ofthe Zoning By-Laws
to promote the health, safety, convenience, morals and general welfare of its inhabitants.
In addition, the Board finds that the waiver of the four (4) on-site parking spaces would
be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-Law and would not be
contrary to the sound traffic and safety considerations, having little impact on the parking
situation in the neighborhood.
9. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote, this Board GRANTS the MODIFICATION and
SPECIAL PERMIT relief requested under Nantucket Zoning By-Law Sections 139-33A and
139-18B(1), (2) for the addition of the approximately 612 square-foot covered deck, ramp and
wood fence substantially in conformity with the reduced marked up site plan, attached hereto as
Exhibit A, to allow patrons to circulate to the outside deck, which may contain bench seating
without further relief from this Board, with their beverages and snacks for the purpose of
providing on-site spaces for smokers upon the following conditions:
a. No live entertainment, amplification or video games whatsoever shall be allowed
on the deck;
b. The occupancy shall not exceed the current certified occupancy number of300;
c. The covered deck and fence shall be constructed in substantial conformance with
the Certificate of Appropriateness No. 38,548 issued by the Historic District
Commission, as may be amended;
d. The rear doors onto the deck shall not be propped open during bar hours;
e. No employees be allowed to park in the Premises parking lot;
f. There shall be no service bar on the deck without further relief from this Board;
and
g. There shall be a noticed formal review of the subject Special Permit to take place
at the regularly scheduled meeting ofthis Board in October, 2002.
(026-02)
10. The Board waived the site plan review for the proposed project that is required under
Nantucket Zoning By-Law Section 139-23.

ADDENDUM
~5(}, -- G3?/' 33H-
Applicant seeks Special Permit Relief pursuant to Section 139-18B(1), (2) and/or
Modification of prior Special Permits in BOA File Nos, 114-92 and 012-98, Applicant proposes
to alter and/or extend the pre-existing nonconforming commercial tavern use on its Premises at 12
Dave Street, by constructing a deck - for use as a smoking area - onto the southwest end of the
building located on the Premises.
The deck is approximately 612 square feet, covered by a roof and surrounded by boarded
walls with a lattice top, The walls are approximately 8 feet tall, The deck will have a ramp and
provide a secondary means of access and egress for the handicap, The Historic Commission
approved the deck in September of2001 by Certificate of Appropriateness No, 38548,
On November 7, 2001 Applicant received approval from the Nantucket Board of
Selectman and the Massachusetts Alcohol Beverages Control Commission to add the 612 square
foot deck with the conditions that: the door to the new deck should be kept closed at all times -
not to be propped open under any circumstances; no wait staffbe provided to patrons on the
deck; and the deck not be fitted with benches or seating of any type, In addition, the door on
Dave Street will continue to be the main entrance and free access into the bar from the street to
the bar, via the deck, will not be allowed,
As reflected in the Nantucket Board of Selectmen's November 7,2001 Decision
approving applicant's Motion to Alter Premises, the deck is not intended to expand the current
seating or occupancy capacity. Rather, in view of the warrant article that was passed at the 2001
annual town meeting banning smoking in restaurants and bars, Applicant intends to construct the
deck to accommodate its existing patrons who smoke,
The Property has pre-existing non-conformities as to off-street parking and loading. As
previously noted by this Board, the unimproved parking lot provides for forty three (43) parking
spaces, where eighty-four (84) are required under the By-law, The proposed deck would be
constructed over four (4) of the forty-three previously-existing on-site parking spaces related to
Applicant's use. Applicant seeks to have this Board further waive these four on-site parking
spaces. Applicant has explored other options in siting the deck. However, due to the existing
siting of the structure, including available frontage as well as grade changes on the lot, the
proposed siting was the only feasible location in which a deck and exterior door could be placed,
As there would be no increase in occupancy, no additional parking spaces would be required,
The requested relief would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood
than the existing non-conformities and is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the
Zoning Bylaws to promote the health, safety, convenience, morals and general welfare of its
inhabitants. Granting relief in this instance would not be not contrary to sound traffic and safety
considerations and will have little impact on neighborhood parking.

Deed: Book 182, Page 279
At a public hearing of the ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS held at
1:00 p.m., December 14, 1992, in the Town and County Building,
Broad Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts on the Application of
Robert R. Reed d/b/a The Chicken Box Restaurant, Inc., of 12
Dave's Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554, Board of Appeals
File No. 114-92, the Board made the following DECISION:
1. The Applicant is seeking relief by Special Permit under
Section 139-33(A) and Sections 139-18(B)(2), 19 and 20 of the By-
Law to allow for the alteration and expansion of the pre-
existing, non-conforming commercial tavern use on the Premises to
provide access to interior bathrooms for the disabled and to
reconfigure the storage area without increasing off-street
parking spaces and other off-street parking requirements. The
Premises are located at 12 Dave's Street, Assessor's Map 55,
Parcel 158, shown as Lots 1 and 3 in Plan Book 18, Page 33 at the
Nantucket Registry of Deeds. The property is zoned Residential-
Commercial.
1
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and
materials submitted to the Board and the testimony and evidence
introduced at the hearing.
3. Applicant's Attorney presented evidence that the
property is non-conforming as to off-street parking requirements;
currently, the unimproved parking lot provides, at best,
forty-three (43) off-street parking spaces. Eighty-Four (84)
off-street parking spaces are required under the By-Law. The
aggregate lot area is 23,932~ square feet. Current ground cover
of the structures on the property is 5,784~ square feet (24.2%).
The proposed work would add approximately 295+ square feet of
ground cover (6,079~).
4. The specific alterations and renovations proposed by
the Applicant are as follows:
A. Renovation and expansion of interior bathrooms to
provide access to the disabled by adding 152~ square feet of
ground cover and relocating 14l~ square feet of storage area as
shown on the building location plan prepared by Hart-Blackwell
and Associates, Inc. as prepared for Robert R. Reed, dated
September 8, 1992;
B. Enclosing a roofed-over deck at the loading dock
to provide a new exitway for an increase in ground cover of 55+
square feet;
C. Removal of a free-standing storage shed for a
reduction in ground cover of approximately 82~ square feet;
D. Expansion of the current storage area so as to
2
increase ground cover by 170~ square feet; and
E. The provision of one (1) designated off-street
parking place for the disabled, thirteen feet by twenty feet,
paved, with appropriate signage.
All of this work is more specifically reflected on the
building plan.
5. The Board finds that the proposed work will not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the
current use of the property and will provide a specific benefit
to the Nantucket community by providing accessible bathrooms to
the handicapped where none now exist.
6. The Board, by UNANIMOUS VOTE, grants Applicant's
request for a Special Permit under Sections&33(A), 18(B)(2), 19
and 20 so as to allow for the alteration and expansion of the
premises to substantially in accordance with the plans filed with
this Application", and attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A".

At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals held
at 1:00 P.M., Friday, February ,13, 1998, in the Conference Room, at the
Town Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, on
the Application of CHICKEN BOX RESTAURANT CORPORATION, ROBERT REED
TRUSTEE, of P.O. Box 2122, Nantucket, MA 02584, Board of Appeals File No.
012-98, the Board made the following Decision:
1. Applicant is seeking a SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning
By-Law ~139-33A (alteration/expansion of a pre-existing non-conforming
structure/use). Applicant proposes to allocate four (4) on-site parking
spaces, for the hours between 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M., for use as
off-site parking spaces. This would enable a Lot, in the -vacinity
of the Locus at One Chin's Way, Assessor's Map 55, Parcel 163, and the
subject of the pending Application in BOA File No. 065-97, to meet the
parking requirement of eleven (11) spaces for the proposed restaurant
use. In BOA File No. 114-92 this Board established that the pre-existing
non-conforming tavern use on the Locus required eighty-four (84) parking
spaces. Forty-three (43) spaces were provided in the unimproved parking
area adjacent to the structure. See also companion case in BOA File No.
011-98.
The Premises is located at 12 - 16 DAVE STREET, Assessor's Map 55,
Parcels 158 and 159, shown as Lots 1 and 3 in Plan Book 18, Page 33. The
property is zoned Residential-Commercial.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and materials submitted
with it and the testimony and evidence presented at the Hearing. The
Planning Board made an unfavorable recommendation expressing concerns
about the intensity of use and parking issues. There were no letters in
the file. This matter was heard in conjunction with BOA File Nos. 065-97
and 011-98.
3. Applicant, through counsel, represents that he is willing to
allow use of four (4) of his existing parking spaces by the Applicants in
BOA File Nos. 065-97 and 011-98 to enable them to meet the parking
requirements for their proposed restaurant at One Chin's Way. Said
property is situated in close proximity to the Locus, though not directly
abutting the property. At a previous Hearing, this Board asked the
Applicants in th~other cases to find an alternative to a waiver of the
required parking spaces, i.e., submission of a revised site plan placing
all spaces on the Lat or an agreement indicating a neighbor's willingness
to provide off-site parking spaces. Applicant further represents that he
has entered into a twenty-year lease with the Applicants in BOA File Nos.
065-97 and 011-98 to use four (4) of his parking spaces. Applicant's
business is generally slower during the peak hours of operation for the
proposed new restaurant and stated that there would be little overlap of
the use of the subject spaces. Approximately forty-three (43) parking
spaces are provided in the unimproved parking area adjacent to the
building and there would be no general adverse impact on the parking
situation in the area with the leasing of the four (4) spaces.
4. Therefore, the Board finds that the grant of a Special Permit to
allow the use of four (4) off-site parking spaces on the Applicant's Lot
by the restaurant at One Chin's Way would be in harmony with the
general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-Law and would not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing
non-conforming parking situation. A grant of relief in this instance
would not be contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations. The
peak hours of operation for the proposed restaurant at One Chin's Way
would be generally at a different time from the peak hours of operation
of Applicant's tavern. Therefore, the Board further finds that the use of
the four (4) off-site parking spaces on Applicant's Lot, to help meet the
parking requirement for said restaurant, would have little impact on the
parking situation in the neighborhood.
5. Accordingly, by a unanimous vote, the Board GRANTS the requested
SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning By-Law ~139-33A, to allow the
modification of a pre-existing non-conforming off-street parking use so
as to allow the Applicant to provide four (4) parking spaces for the
non-exclusive use of the Applicants and their successors, in BOA File
Nos. 065-97 and 011-98, for the proposed new restaurant at One Chin's
Way, Assessor's Map 55, Parcel 163, upon the following condition:
The four (4) off-site parking spaces shall be available for
the use of the proposed restaurant at One Chin's Way between the hours of
6:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. on any given day when the restauraqt is in

At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals held
at 1:00 P.M., Friday, February 13, 1998, in the Conference Room, at the
Town Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, on
the Application of JOHN KEANE AND ALAN REED, AS OWNERS AND FOR JOHN KEANE,
of One Chin's Way, Nantucket, MA 02554, Board of Appeals File No. 011-98,
the Board made the following Decision:
1. Applicants are seeking to amend the pending Application in Board of
Appeals File No. 065-97, to inClude a request for SPECIAL PERMIT relief
under Nantucket Zoning By-Law ~139-18B(1) (Parking Requirements - off-site
parking spaces). Applicants propose to locate four (4) of the required
eleven (11) parking spaces, related to the proposed restaurant use,
off-site on land located in the vicinity of the Locus and shown at 12 Dave
Street, Assessor's Map 55, Parcels 158 and 159, or on a Lot proximate the
Locus and shown as 2 and 4 Chin's Way, Assessor's Map 55, Parcels 161 and
162. Seven (7) conforming spaces would be provided on-site. See also
companion case in BOA File No. 012-98.
The Premises is located at ONE CHIN'S WAY, Assessor's Map 55,
Parcel 163, Plan File 33A, Lot 4A. The property is zoned
Residential-Commercial.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and the materials
submitted with it and the testimony and evidence presented at the Hearing.
The Planning Board made an unfavorable recommendation stating that the
site could not support the proposed use. There were no letters on file in
support or opposition.
3. Applicants are before this Board in BOA Application No. 065-97 in
which Applicants are seeking relief by Special Permit to operate a
thirty-six (36) seat restaurant with one (1) dwelling unit on the second
floor in an existing structure. Eleven (11) off-street parking spaces are
required. Initially Applicant sought a waiver of four (4) off-street
parking spaces with eight (8) being provided on site. At the previous
hearings the Board expressed concern about traffic congestion and adequate
parking for the proposed restaurant use especially during the busy summer
season, and asked the Applicants to revise the Site Plan to include the
required green space and indicate the location of some parking spaces
off-site. Applicants submitted a Special Permit Application, BOA File No.
01L-98, to allow four (4) off-street parking spaces to be located off-site
on the property owned by the Chicken Box Restaurant Corporation at 12 - 16
Dave street, Assessor's Map 55, Parcels 158 and 159, which relief the
Board of Appeals granted by a unanimous vote. Applicants offered to limit
the use of the four (4) off-site parking spaces to employees and the
occupant(s) of the second floor residential use on the Premises, reduce
the number of on-site spaces to seven (7) by reducing the number of
restaurant seats from thirty-six (36) to thirty-two (32), in order to
provide the spaces on-site for restaurant patrons. Applicants represented,
through counsel, that there was no possibility at this time of being able
to locate the four (4) off-site spaces on the immediately abutting
property at 2 and 4 Chin's Way and that the Owner of the property at
12 - 16 Dave Street has agreed to enter into a long-term lease
agreement to allow use of four (4) spaces on said property. The relief
granted in BOA File No. 01.-98 was conditioned upon the spaces being
available for the use of the proposed restaurant at One Chin's Way between
the hours of 6:00 A.M. and 9:00 P.M. on any given day when the restaurant
is in operation.
4. Therefore, the Board finds that the grant of Special Permit relief
to allow four (4) parking spaces to be located off-site as described
above, would be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Zoning By-Law and would not be contrary to sound traffic and safety
considerations. The spaces would be located within the same block, in
walking distance, as the Locus and Applicants have entered into a twenty
(20) year lease with the Chicken Box Restaurant Corporation to use the
four (4) off-site parking spaces.
5. Accordingly, by a unanimous vote, the Board GRANTS the requested
relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning By-Law g139-18B(1) to
allow the Applicants to locate four (4) of the required eleven (11)
parking spaces required by the proposed restaurant and one (1) dwelling
unit, off-site on land owned by the ChicJcen Box Restaurant Corporation,

PROPOSED FINDINGS
TOWN OF NANTUCKET
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
37 WASHINGTON STREET
NANTUCKET, MA 02554
Assessor's Map 55
Parcels 158 and 159
Residential - Commercial
12 and 16 Dave Street
Applicant: RPN, LLC
At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals held at 1 P.M" on March
8,2002 in the Conference Room, Town Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, MA
on the Application ofRPN, LLC of 14 Dave Street, Nantucket, MA 02554, Board of Appeals
No, _, the Board made the following Decision:
1. Applicant is seeking relief by Special Permit under Section 139-18B(I), (2) and/or
Modification of prior Special Permits in BOA File Nos, 114-92 and 012-98, Applicant
proposes to alter and/or extend the pre-existing nonconforming commercial tavern use
known as the "Chicken Box" by the addition of a six hundred and twelve (612) square
foot deck on the southwest end of the existing building for use as an outside smoking area,
There would be no increase in occupancy and there would be no outside live
entertainment provided,
The Premises are located at 12 and 16 Dave Street, Assessor's Map 55, Parcels 158 and
159, Plan Book 19/ Page 6, Plan Book 18 / Page 33, The Property is zoned Residential-
Commercial.
2, The Decision is based upon the Application, the materials accompanying the application,
as well as the testimony and evidence presented at the Hearing.
3. The Applicant provided a detailed Major Commercial Development ('MCD") Analysis and
Parking information in this Application, The prior BOA decisions included one for
modification of existing bathrooms and construction of storage areas, which would have
added approximately 195 square feet offloor area. However, because no work was
performed following the decision, the special permit lapsed by operation of the By-Laws
In addition, the BOA granted approval to allow four of Applicant's parking spaces to be
leased as parking during Applicant's off-peak hours to a neighboring property owner to
meet his parking requirements for operation of his restaurant. After analysis, the BOA
determined that this prior relief, and the current proposal do not exceed MCD thresholds
as the addition of the deck would not increase square footage of the existing structure nor
increase the current occupancy of the Premises.
4. The Property has pre-existing non-conformities as to off-street parking. As previously
noted by this Board, the unimproved parking lot at the Premises provides for forty three
(43) parking spaces, where eighty-four (84) are required by By-Law. The proposed deck
would occupy four (4) of the forty-three previously existing parking spaces related to
Applicant's use. Applicant seeks to have this board waive these four spaces. Applicant
represented that every effort was made to enter into an agreement with abutters for off-
site parking, but has been unable to do so.
5. Allowing Applicant requested relief is not substantially more detrimental to the
neighborhood than the existing non-conformities and is in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the Zoning Bylaws to promote the health, safety, convenience,
morals and general welfare of its inhabitants. A grant of relief under these circumstances
is not contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations and would have little impact on
the parking situation in the neighborhood.
6. The approximately 612 square foot covered deck on the southwest end of the existing
building on the Premises would be surrounded on one side by the existing building and on
remaining three sides by a boarded fence wall - approximately 8 feet tall - with a lattice
top. The deck and fence wall have Historic District Commission approval issued in
Certificate of Appropriateness No. 38548. There will be a handicap exit ramp off the
deck.
7. The purpose of the construction of the deck is to provide an outdoor defined area for
customers who wish to smoke. The April 2001 Town Meeting passed a by-law banning
all smoking in public places effective as of September 1, 2001.
8. The Applicants do not propose to add additional seating or increase the occupancy of300
certified by the Building department. Rather, they wish to accommodate patrons who
wish to smoke without having to go outside to the street in front of the existing building
to do so.
9. Applicant represented and submitted documentary evidence that on November 7, 2001
Applicant received approval from the Nantucket Board of Selectman and the Mass.
Alcohol Beverages Control Commission to add the 612 square foot deck with the
conditions that the door to the new deck should be kept closed at all times - not to be
propped open under any circumstances; no wait staffbe provided to patrons on the deck;
and the deck not be fitted with benches or seating of any type. In addition, Applicant
represents that the door on Dave Street will continue to be the main entrance and free
access into the bar from the street to the bar, via the deck, will not be allowed.
10. Therefore, the Board finds that Special Permit relief may be granted to allow the
modification and allow construction of the addition of an approximately 612 square foot
covered deck with the ramp and wood board fence with the lattice top to allow patrons to
circulate to the outside deck with their beverages and/or snacks in order to smoke. The
Board further finds that said relief is necessary in light ofthe new town By-law to allow
Applicant to meet the needs of its patrons and to provide a secure outdoor area with
minimum impact on neighbors, and having this Board waive the four parking spots would
not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than existing nonconformities
and would not increase the certified occupancy. In addition, the Board finds that the
waiver of the four on-site parking spaces would be in harmony with the general purpose
and intent of the Zoning By-Law and would not be contrary to the sound traffic and safety
considerations.
11. Accordingly by a(n) vote, this Board GRANTS the MODIFICATION AND
SPECIAL PERMIT relief requested under Nantucket Zoning By-Law Section 139-
18B( 1), (2) for the addition of the approximately 612 square foot covered deck, ramp and
wood fence substantially in conformity with the reduced site plan, attached hereto as
Exhibit A, to allow patrons to circulate to the outside deck with their beverages and
snacks for the purpose of providing on-site spaces for smokers upon the following
conditions:
a. No live entertainment, amplification or video games whatsoever be allowed on the
deck; and
b. The occupancy shall not exceed the current certified occupancy number of300;
c. The covered deck and fence shall be constructed in substantial conformance with
the Certificate of Appropriateness NO.38548 issued by the Historic District
commission, as may be amended;
d. The rear doors onto the deck shall not be propped open during bar hours; and
e. There shall be no service bar on the deck without further relief from this Board.
12. The Board waived the site plan review for the proposed project that required under
Nantucket Zoning By-Law Section 139-23..
