At the continued Public Hearing ofthe Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals held at 1 :00
P.M., Friday, June 11,2004 in the Conference Room, Town Annex Building, 37 Washington
Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, 02554, and originally noticed and opened on September 12,
2002 and subsequently continued to November 15 and December 13,2002, then to May 9, July
11, October 17 and December 12,2003 and then to February 13, May 14 and then to June 11,
2004 for fmal resolution, to allow for the Nantucket Historic District approval of a set of plans
and to allow for a vote of the 2003 Annual Town Meeting on a warrant article that would directly
have affected this Application of KEVIN F. DALE, TRUSTEE OF TERRAPIN NOMINEE
TRUST of PO Box 659, Nantucket, Massachusetts, 02554, Board of Appeals No. 064-02, the
Board made the following Decision:
1. Applicant is seeking a SPECIAL PERMIT to demolish a partially constructed
"pole barn" with a ground cover of approximately 733:t square feet and to renovate and enlarge
the existing primary dwelling on the Premises. The Property has an area of 127,414:t square feet.
The existing buildings have an aggregate ground cover of6,539 square feet (5.13%). The
Property is located in the LUG-3 zoning district and is subject to a maximum allowable ground
cover of three (3%) percent. At the time Applicant purchased the Property in October 1999,
however, the maximum allowable ground cover ratio for this Property was seven (7%) percent
because the Property had the benefit ofthe following amendment set forth in Section 139-16 of
the By-law:
"Provided, however that all lots in this district in existence as of November
15, 1990 shall have the benefit of LUG-l intensity regulations."
This amendment was rescinded effective January 1, 2000. As of January I, 2000, the Property
was, therefore, non-conforming as to the maximum allowable ground cover ratio. In all other
respects, the Property conformed to the provisions of the By-Law.
The Premises is located at 22 BASSETT ROAD, Assessor's Map 26, Parcel 46, Land
Court Plan No. 37002-A, Owner's Certificate of Title No. 19132. The property is zoned LUG-3.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and the materials submitted with it,
and the testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing. There was no opposition to the
Application and no letters on file.
3. Applicant, through counsel, represented that after Applicant purchased the
property in October 1999, he filed an application for a building permit with the Nantucket
Building Department to construct a ''pole barn" on the Property with a ground cover of
approximately 733:t square feet. The ''pole barn" building permit was duly issued on December
13, 1999 and Applicant immediately poured the foundation footings for the pole barn. The
Nantucket Building Department inspected and approved the footings on December 21, 1999. On
January 1, 2000, the Property reverted from LUG-l to LUG-3 intensity regulations and became
nonconforming with respect to ground cover ratio ofthe existing buildings on the Property,
including the pole barn, whereas ground cover requirements had been met before. The existing
buildings exceed the new maximum allowable ground cover ratip of three (3%) percent by 2.13%.
The buildings have an aggregate ground cover of6,539:t square feet (5.13%). From December
1999 until August 9, 2002, Applicant worked to construct the pole barn pursuant to the duly
issued Building Permit No. 1268-99 (the Permit). On August 9, 2002, Applicant filed this
Application for Special Permit relief to demolish the partially constructed pole barn and transfer
the ground cover allocation to enlarge and renovate the existing primary single-family dwelling
on the Premises by approximately 693:t square feet, less that the square footage currently
allocated to the pole barn. Applicant argues that Special Permit relief is warranted under Section
139-33A(4)(a) of the By-law, which allows the extension or alteration ofa pre-existing,
nonconforming structure or use.
4. At the September 2002 hearing on this Application, the Board asked the Applicant
to have the Nantucket Building Inspector determine whether the December 13, 1999 Building
Permit No. 1268-99 to construct the pole barn was duly issued and activated and the Board
continued the hearing. By letter of December 2, 2002, Nantucket Building Commissioner Bernard
Bartlett confirmed in writing that Building Permit No. 1268-99 was duly issued and activated by
the Applicant prior to January 1, 2000. From January 2003 to May 2004, the Board continued its
hearing on this Application a number of times to determine whether the 2003 Nantucket Town
Meeting would vote to amend the By-law to provide relief for matters like this and to afford the
Applicant additional time to obtain Nantucket Historic District Commission (HOC) approval for
the primary dwelling renovation. The Town Meeting voters amended the original warrant article,
limiting relief solely for structures that were to be demolished and reconstructed and did not allow
the reallocation of the ground cover in order to add onto another structure on a property. The
HOC issued Certificate of Appropriateness No. 43,684 for the primary dwelling renovation in
April 2004. At the continued hearing on this matter in May 2004, the Board asked the Applicant
to have the Nantucket Building Commissioner confIrm that Building Permit No. 1268-99 had not
been "abandoned", nor had it "lapsed" by non-use from December 1999 to August 9, 2002 when
this Application for Special Permit reliefwas filed. By letter of June 9, 2004, Applicant wrote to
the Board and stated he had met with Building Commissioner Bartlett who confirmed that
Building Permit No. 1268-99 was "active" and "alive" from December 13, 1999 to August 9,
2002, the filing date of this Application. At the continued hearing on this matter on June 11,2004,
Building Commissioner Bartlett was present and stated this fact directly to the Board. Applicant
contended further that Building Permit No. 1268-99 remained "active" and "alive" from the date
of the filing ofthis Application, August 9, 2002, until the date ofthe Board's decision because the
filing ofthis Special Permit application effectively placed the Permit "on-hold" until the time of
the Board's decision. The time period to construct the pole barn under the Permit, therefore, is
"tolled" while this matter is pending before the Board because this Special Permit application
directly addresses whether the pole barn ground cover allowed under the Permit may be relocated
and attached to the primary dwelling on the Property.
5. The Applicant argues that Special Permit Relief is appropriate in this case because
Section 139-33(4) provides that ''pre-existing, nonconforming structures or uses may be extended
or altered" as long as the extension or alteration is not "substantially more detrimental than the
existing, nonconforming use to the neighborhood." Applicant further argues that the ground cover
ratio, in excess of 3%, is nonconforming, having been conforming prior to the change in the
zoning for the district from LUG-l to LUG-2, and the Applicant proposes to "alter" this non-
conforming pole barn ground cover by demolishing it, not abandoning it, in order to relocate the
ground cover allotment and attach it to the primary dwelling. The Board. acknowledges, however,
that when the pole barn is demolished, the ground cover nonconformity will be temporarily
eliminated. Even so, the majority of the Board rejects the practice of leaving "one stick standing"
to preserve the nonconformity and relies on its precedent to find that Special Permit relief is
appropriate in this case. Moreover, Section 139-33A(9) of the By-law now clarifies this issue and
provides that Special Permit relief is appropriate to authorize the construction of a new structure
after removal ofthe pre-existing, nonconforming structure, in certain circumstances. Although
Section 139-33A(9) excludes Special Permit relief for "relocation" of pre-existing, excess ground
cover, like this case, the Board finds that this Application predates the enactment of Section 139-
33A(9) ofthe By-law and is not subject to its provisions. The Board finds further that the design
for the enlarged primary dwelling on the Property has been approved by the HDC in Certificate of
Appropriateness No. 43,684.
6. Based upon the foregoing, the Board finds that the issuance of a Special Permit to
demolish the existing pole barn and to enlarge and renovate the existing primary dwelling is
warranted in this case and such demolition and renovation would not be substantially more
detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing structures on the Property. The Board notes this
Application was filed prior to the effective date of Section 139-33A-4(9) of the By-law, an
amendment that expressly provides for Special Permit relief to allow the demolition and
reconstruction of a pre-existing, nonconforming structure with a ground cover ratio in excess of
the permitted ground cover ratio, as long as the new ground cover ratio remains the same and is
not relocated or attached to another building. Prior to this amendment, the Board notes further
there were different interpretations as to whether a Variance or Special Permit was required for
such demolition and relocation of ground cover. Here, the rescission of the LUG-l intensity
regulation amendment rendered the Property nonconforming as to the maximum permitted ground
cover ratio. In all other respects, the Property conforms to current Nantucket Zoning By-law
provisions. Special Permit relief is appropriate in this matter pursuant to the provisions of Section
139-33A(4) ofthe By-law and the Board finds the pole barn allowed by Building Permit No. 128-
99 is duly issued and active. The Applicant is entitled to the issuance of a new Building Permit for
the primary dwelling enlargement and renovation, and this renovation would not be substantially
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing uses and structures on the Applicant's
property and would not create any new nonconformities.
7. Accordingly, by a vote of four in favor (Sevrens, Toole, Wiley and Murphy) and
one opposed (Loftin), the Board GRANTS the requested SPECIAL PERMIT relief under
Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-33A to allow the demolition of the partially constructed
pole barn on the Property and reallocation of the ground cover associated with that structure to
allow the enlargement and renovation of the existing primary single-family dwelling on the Locus
upon the following conditions:
a) The renovation and enlargement ofthe existing primary single-
family dwelling shall conform substantially to the design plans
approved by the Nantucket Historic District Commission in April
2004, Certificate of Appropriateness No. 43,684, as may be
amended from time to time; and
b) The structures shall be substantially as shown upon the "Site Plan",
done by Applicant's contractor, Twig Perkins Inc., dated
7/24/2000, a reduced copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

NOTICE
A Public Hearing of the NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS will
be held at 1:00 P.M., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2002, IN THE CONFERENCE
ROOM, TOWN ANNEX BUILDING, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket,
Massachusetts, on the Application of the following:
TERRAPIN NOMINEE TRUST
BOARD OF APPEALS FILE NO. 064-02
Applicant is seeking relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning By-
Law Section 139-33A (alteration/extension of a pre-existing nonconforming
structure/use). In the alternative, Applicant is seeking relief by VARIANCE under
Nantucket Zoning By-law Section 139-16A to complete the project as proposed.
Applicant proposes to eliminate a "pole barn" foundation, with a ground cover of about
733 square feet, and enlarge the existing primary single-family dwelling, by a maximum
of733 square feet. The existing dwelling has a ground cover of about 1,411 square feet
and after construction of the addition it would have a total ground cover of about 2,126
square feet. The Locus also contains a secondary dwelling and a separate barn. The
Locus is conforming as to lot size with the Lot containing about 127,414 square feet of
area in a district that requires a minimum lot size of 120,000 square feet. However, the
Locus is nonconforming as to ground cover ratio, with the Lot containing about 5.13%
ground cover ratio in a district that allows a maximum ground cover ratio of3%, and as

ADDENDUM "A"
Terrapin Nominee Trust (the "Trust") is the owner ofthe improved real estate located at
22 Bassett Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, 02554 and shown as Parcel 46 on Tax Map 26. The
property has an area of 127,414 square feet and is located in the LU G- 3 zoning district. The
aggregate ground cover of buildings on the property is 6,539 square feet (5.13%). The property is
non-conforming as to ground cover because a maximum ground cover ratio of three (3%) percent
is permitted in the LUG-3 zoning district.
By way of background, the property was subject to a seven (7%) percent maximum
ground cover requirement until January 1,2000 pursuant to the provisions of Section 139-16 of
the Zoning By-law. The following amendment applied to the Trust property:
"Provided, however that all lots in this district in existence as of November 15, 1990 shall
have the benefit of LUG-1 intensity regulations."
LUG-1 intensity regulations provide for a maximum ground cover ratio of seven (7%)
(8,919:t sq. ft.) and a side and rear set back minimum distance often (10') feet.
All of the Trust buildings were existing or under construction prior to January 1, 2000,
the rescission date ofthe LUG-l intensity amendment. At this time, the Trust property complies
with the current zoning by-law except for maximum ground cover requirements.
The Trust wishes to eliminate the pole barn foundation (733:!:: sq. ft.) and renovate and
enlarge the existing primary dwelling by adding approximately 7l5:!:: square feet of ground
cover. The existing primary dwelling has a ground cover of 1,411 square feet. The renovated
dwelling will have a ground cover of 2, 126:t square feet for a net ground cover increase of 715
square feet.
The proposed addition to the primary dwelling will not be substantially more detrimental
to the neighborhood than the existing structures on the Trust property and Terrapin Nominee
Trust asks the Board of Appeals to grant this Special Permit.
