NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS 1 East Chestnut Street Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Assessor's Map 59.4, Parcels 294 & 295 53 Washington Avenue, Madaket Certificate of Title No. 6193 Land Court Plan 3092-D Block 138, Lots 21 & 22 Residential-2 DECISION: 1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals, on Friday, August 8, 2003, at 1:00 P.M., continued to Friday, October 17, 2003, at 1:00 P.M., in the Conference Room, in the Town Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, continued further to Thursday, October 30, 2003, at 6:00 P.M., in the Large Group Instruction Room, Nantucket High School, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following Decision on the amended application of HOWARD BARDSLEY III, as Owner, and RANDOLPH G. SHARP, JR., as Contract Purchaser, c/o Reade, Gullicksen, Hanley & Gifford, LLP, Post Office Box 2669, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02584, File No. 046-03: 2. The Applicant Sharp is seeking relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning By-law ~139-33.A (alteration or expansion of a pre-existing, nonconforming structure or use), and ~139- 16.C(1) (reduction of minimum side yard setback from ten feet to five feet). Sharp proposes that he will, after acquiring the Locus, demolish an existing single-family dwelling and reconstruct a new single-family dwelling, which would be less nonconforming than the existing structure. The existing dwelling is nonconforming as to front yard setback, being sited as close as about 9.2 feet from the front lot line, with the minimum front yard setback in this zoning district being 30 feet, and as to side yard setback, with the structure being sited with zero setback (actually encroaching upon the abutter's property) from the northeasterly lot line, with the minimum side yard setback in this zoning district being ten feet. The proposed new structure would be less nonconforming as to front and side yard setbacks, as it would be sited at about 20.3 feet from the front lot line and at about 5.3 feet from the northeasterly side lot line. In addition or in the alternative, Sharp requests relief by VARIANCE from the front yard setback requirement of 30 feet as established by ~139-16.A, to allow the new dwelling to be sited at about 20.3 feet from Washington Avenue. The subject property (the "Locus"), as improved with the new dwelling, would continue to meet ground cover, parking, and all other setback requirements. In addition, the Locus is nonconforming as to lot area, containing about 4,000 square feet, with minimum lot area in this zoning district being 20,000 square feet. The Locus is situated at 53 WASHINGTON AVENUE, MADAKET, Assessor's Map 59.4, Parcels 294 and 295, is shown on Land Court Plan 3092-0, Block 138, as Lots 21 and 22, and is situated in a Residential-2 zoning district. 3 . Our Decision is based upon the accompanying materials, and representations received at our public hearing. The recommendation was that no matter .of planning Application and and testimony Planning Board significance was presented. In addition to the presentation by the Applicants and their representatives, one neighbor spoke personally in favor of the Application, and another supported the Application through a presentation by counsel. These neighbors, in their support, spoke of their appreciation of Applicants' cooperation in revising the project to address their concerns. No other support or opposition was presented at the public hearing. 4. The Locus and the adjacent land shown as Lot 89 on Land Court Plan 3092-S ("Lot 89") are owned by the Applicant, Howard Bardsley III, by virtue of Certificate of Title No. 6193 at Nantucket Registry District. The Locus and Lot 89 are each improved with a single-family dwelling, and each dwelling pre- existed the 1972 adoption of the Nantucket Zoning By-law, as explained by the Applicant Bardsley of his own personal knowledge; the dwelling upon the Locus was moved to the site in 1963, and the dwelling upon Lot 89 was moved there in 1955. Accordingly, even though the Locus and Lot 89 are each undersized lots, they have not merged together for zoning purposes pursuant to the provision of the definition of "Lot" in Nantucket Zoning By-law ~139-2, which sets forth that adjacent parcels in common ownership, each of which has been lawfully improved with one or more dwellings conforming to all applicable zoning requirements at the time of construction and each of which parcels conformed with applicable area and frontage requirements at the time of construction, shall be considered as separate lots for all zoning purposes. Here, the dwellings on both the Locus and Lot 89 pre- existed all zoning requirements, and thus no merger occurred. 5. The Applicant Bardsley now proposes to sell the Locus to the Applicant Sharp, and to sell Lot 89 to another purchaser. Sharp wishes to demolish or remove the existing dwelling upon the Locus, and to construct a new dwelling, with ground cover of about 734 square feet (less than the 30%, or in this instance 1,200 square feet, allowed for lots of record containing less than 5,000 square feet). Sharp proposes to eliminate the existing encroachment upon the property of the northeasterly abutter, with proposed side yard setback to be about 5.3 feet from the northeasterly property line. Sharp further proposes to site the new dwelling with front yard setback from the line of Washington Avenue of about 20.3 feet, whereas the existing dwelling has a front yard setback of about 9.2 feet. 6. Although minimum side yard setback in this Residential-2 zoning district is ten feet, By-law ~139-16.C(1) empowers the Board of Appeals to issue a Special Permit reducing the required setback distance to five feet. In this case, the narrow width of the lot (50 feet) affects the Applicant's flexibility in the placement of the new dwelling. The Applicant's plan, as shown upon a plot plan by Blackwell & Associates, Inc., dated May 10, 2003, revised July 16, 2003, a reduced copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, is to maintain the required side yard setback of ten feet from the southwesterly lot line, respecting the interests of the southwesterly abutter whose dwelling is near that lot line, while requesting the reduction to five feet from the northeasterly lot line, where the existing dwelling is nonconforming and the dwelling of the northeasterly abutter is situated a considerable distance from the lot line. Both abutters expressed support for this siting at the public hearing. Accordingly, the Board of Appeals made the finding, by a UNANIMOUS vote, that the reduction of the northeasterly side yard setback from ten to five feet would in this instance be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-law and not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing structure, and by the same UNANIMOUS vote, GRANTED the requested SPECIAL PERMIT under zoning By-law ~139-16.C(1) for this reduction in side yard setback, subject to the conditions set forth in Paragraph 8 of this Decision. 7. With regard to the request for relief by Variance from the front yard setback requirement of thirty feet, the Applicants candidly admitted that there was no impediment to moving the proposed footprint away from Washington Avenue and complying with the front yard setback requirement. However, both abutters urged the Board to grant the requested Variance relief, on the basis that their existing dwellings would be adversely affected by placement of the proposed Sharp dwelling over thirty feet from Washington Avenue. Furthermore, these abutters and the Applicants pointed out that many existing dwellings in the area are sited in close proximity to Washington Avenue, with front yard setback for these dwellings in several instances being maintained from other streets or ways and side or rear yard setback being maintained from Washington Avenue. Under these circumstances, and with particular importance being given to the concerns of the abutters, the Board of Appeals, by UNANIMOUS vote, made the finding wi th respect to the proposed Variance relief from the front yard setback requirement, to enable the new dwelling to be sited as shown upon Exhibit A, that owing to circumstances relating to the soil conditions, shape or topography of the Locus (specifically, the placement of structures on the adjacent parcels) and especially affecting the Locus but not affecting generally the zoning district in which the Locus is situated, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning By-law would involve substantial hardship to the Applicants (specifically, the adverse effect upon their neighbors), and that desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the Zoning By-law. Accordingly, by the same UNANIMOUS vote, the Board of Appeals GRANTED relief by VARIANCE from the requirement of By-law ~139-16 .A, that front yard setback be a minimum of thirty feet, to enable the new dwelling to be constructed substantially as shown upon Exhibit A. 8. The relief granted is based upon the following conditions: (a) The construction hereby authorized shall be done in substantial conformity with the location envelope of the new dwelling as shown upon Exhibit A; and (b) No exterior construction work shall be performed during the period between June 1 and September 15 in any calendar year.

The existing dwelling is nonconforming as to front yard setback, with setback of about 9.2 feet, in a district where minimum front yard setback is 30 feet, and northeasterly side yard setback of zero feet (the existing structure actually encroaching on the abutter's land), with minimum side yard setback being 10 feet in this district. The locus has lot area of about 4,000 square feet, with minimum lot area in this district being 20,000 square feet. The proposed new dwelling will have front yard setback of about 20.3 feet, and northeasterly side yard setback of about 5.3 feet. The applicable ground cover ratio of 30% for a pre-existing lot of record with area less than 5,000 square feet will not be exceeded, and all other applicable zoning requirements will be met. In the alternative, the applicant requests relief by Variance from the front yard setback requirement of 30 feet under By-law ~139-l6 .A, to allow the new dwelling to be sited about 20.3 feet from Washington Avenue. Although the locus has been in common ownership with adjacent land, it is considered as a separate lot for all purposes under the Zoning By-law by virtue of the definition of "Lot" in By-law ~139-2, because each of the locus and the adjacent parcel was lawfully improved with a dwelling conforming to applicable zoning requirements (that is, none) prior to adoption of the Zoning By-law, and each lot complied with applicable zoning requirements (that is, none) at the time of construction. The applicant also requests a Special Permit under By-law ~139-l6.C(1), to reduce the side yard setback distance to 5 feet, in order to approve the proposed siting of the new dwelling.

The existing dwelling is nonconforming as to front yard setback, with setback of about 9.2 feet, in a district where minimum front yard setback is 30 feet, and northeasterly side yard setback of zero feet (the existing structure actually encroaching on the abutter's land), with minimum side yard setback being 10 feet in this district. The locus has lot area of about 4,000 square feet, with minimum lot area in this district being 20,000 square feet. The proposed new dwelling will have front yard setback of about 20.3 feet, and northeasterly side yard setback of about 5.3 feet. The applicable ground cover ratio of 30% for a pre-existing lot of record with area less than 5,000 square feet will not be exceeded, and all other applicable zoning requirements will be met. Al though the locus has been in common ownership with adjacent land, it is considered as a separate lot for all purposes under the Zoning By-law by virtue of the definition of "Lot" in By-law ~139-2, because each of the locus and the adjacent parcel was lawfully improved with a dwelling conforming to applicable zoning requirements (that is, none) prior to adoption of the Zoning By-law, and each lot complied with applicable zoning requirements (that is, none) at the time of construction. The applicant also requests a Special Permit under By-law ~139-l6.C(1), to reduce the side yard setback distance to 5 feet, in order to approve the proposed siting of the new dwelling.
