the Town and County Buildin~, Nantucket, MA 02554
The meetinF was called to order by Chairman Bill Sherman at
1:08p.m. All repular members of the Board were present as well
as alternate member, David Le~~ett. Linda Williams noted that
Michael O'Mara had a conflict of interest with several of the
applications, They were numbers 16-90,17-90, and 23-90.
Chairman Sherman also stated that Attorney David Moretti asked
that application 24-90 be continued until the next meeting as he
was unexpectedly called off island.
~FJ1~~!iQn 027-901 ~own of Nantu~ke~- Space Needs Com~itte~/
E;!!I~_r:~!1cy_ !~~lA~_f was a request to allow the Buildin~ Commissioner
to issue a Temporary permit for nonconforminF structure. ~he
criterion the Board uses for doinF this comes under "promot~nf
proper development of the community., Town Code #139-26H. The
building requested for Town office space is situated on Assessor's'
Map 42.Lt.2, parcel number 70, near the corner of Oak Street and
South Beach Street. Bernie Grossman spoke on behalf of the Space
Needs Committee describinF the building and adjoininF lot, parcel
#27, which would allow for parking. Chairman Sherman asked
Building Commissioner, ~nn Santos, if he had seen the parkin~ plan.
He replied that he had looked at it briefly and that the plan would
allow for 10 leval parking spaces but could actually fit 16 usuable
~
parkinp- spaces. Dale Waine asked Mr. Grossman what the cost would
be to renovnte the building. He said there were no cost estimates
as yet. The Buiding Department, Wiring Department, Health, Conser-
vation Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals would be housed in
this building with the possibility of expansion. Dale Waine asked
about the lease. Mr. Grossman said it was a lon~ term lease with
option up to 5 years. Chairman Sherman said that there would be
conditions upon approval'of a temporary permit. The building would

be for Inunicipal use only and that a formal request for a Special
Permit to validate under Zoning the plans to convert the building
for Town use be submitted by the June hearing. Spencer Cowan,
70ninp Board Administrator, questioned whether or not a Temporary
Permit should be granted today or not since the Town had to
come back anyway with a formal request. He said it would allow
the Board time to research the proposal and the Space Needs Committee
time to provide details requested by the Board. ~r. Grossman
said the Space Peeds Committee waG unwilling to po ahead with the
expe~Ee of a renovation atudy without at least n Temporary Perrelt.
Chairman Sherman reminded the Board that the risk is always on
the applicant and that the main concern should be if the proposed
plan has a negative effect on zonin~. If it does not have a nepative
effect on 7.oning", then the question is does the plan "promote
proper development of the community"? Linda Williams voiced concern
over the traffic flow and the other applicants in the neighborhood
who had had requests denied. Mr. Grossman said that the congestion
caused by the proposed Town office building would be far less
than what is now caused by several hundred mopeds. He outlined
the traffic route. Nichael O'Mara asked Ron Santos what the
restrictions would be on the parking spaces. He answered that
the parlcing- would be for municipal employ.ees who worked,'at the
building and for To\~ vehicles over the weekend. Votion was made
by Dale ~aine to approve the Temporary Permit with the following
conditions:
1. The Temporary Permit is restricted to ~unicipal
use of the building and parking area.
2. Temporary Permit is pood for two months when
application is filed for a formal hearing. At
that time the Temporary Fermit is extended until
the June Board of Appeals hearing.
Motion was seconded, and voted approved.
Peter Dooley joined the Board at 1:J8p.m. The Board then
consisted of Peter Dooley, Bill Sherman, Michael O'Mara, David Leggett,

was continued from the March 9,1990 meeting. Arthur Reade,Esq.
represented the applicants. He made several sug~estions to modify
the request for a Special Permit. The request for convertin~ the
~arage space into additional bedrooms for dormitory use was w:th-
drawn. ~r. Reade asked that the existin~ seven bedrooms in the
main building 'te confirmed for dormitory USE:, and that the limitatjon
of ten occupants be removed. He also persisted with the request
that the Special Permit not be personal to Mr. Glidden as it is now.
The use of the premises now is contin{!ent upon r,~:r. Glidden ownin,e-
the property and he would like to sell it. A detailed parking plan
was provided. There would be eipht parkin{! spaces. ~r. Reade
maintained that there would be a responsible on island manager
present at all times when the property is occupied as employer
dormitor~T. A request was made to convert the ~ara{!e into a sinple-
family dwelling not to be used by employees. The dwelling would
be used by the mana{!er or a family and hopefully would avert any
situation ar:i~dnp" in the employee dormitory because of the close
proximity of the two. The single parking space that foes with
the sin~le-family dwelling would not be prohibited from backing out
on Salros Roa.d.
rh'lirl1lRTl Sherman questioned Mr. Reade on the septic requirements
and recognized that the plem for the sinp"le-family dwelling was
approved by the Board of Health and the Board had received a letter
from ), irhard hay. Linda vJilliams commented that if the single-family
dwelJinF waS allowed three bedrooms the total number of bedroo~s
would te tack up to ten and there would be eroployees living in the
sinple-family dwellinf. ~r. Reade said he would have no problem
with a restrjction on the single-family dwellinf to family members,
with no more than two unrelated persons. Chairman Sherman asked
if there were anymore people to speak in favor of the applicntion.
~here heinf none, he asked if anyone was present to speak in opposition.

Mr. Allen of Nobska Way asked the Board to require a resident
mana~er to be on the property for the whole season and that there
be one commercial owner and his employees. Linda Williams asked
how this would be monitored to assure there was only one employer
and his employees. Mr. Reade said it would be specified in the
decision. Ms. Williams said she would like to see a limit on the
number of occupa~cy. Richard Berthelet was present and asked the
Board to l00k into this npplieation more before comin~ to a decision
becaus€ the building was not up to code a;-ld haci fire v5..ulations.
Mr. Glidden said he would be willin~ to fix everything that was in
violation. Ron Santos, Building Commissioner, said he had been
through the building and that if the buildin~ were a new building
it could not operate as it is now but it carne under the 'frandfathering'
provision. Anne Balas said she would like to see the building
subject to inspection and licensin~. Chairman Sherman asked for a
consensus from the Board. Michael C'Mara made the motion that
the Special Permit be approved with the following stipulations:
1. Resident manaper over the ape of 21 who would be an employee
of the owner and listed with the Nantucket Police Department.
2. Limit the number of occupancy to 14 persons.
J. Transferability of the Special Permit approved so that the

requiLements or determination that no zoning relief is required.
Nan~ucket Zoning By-Law Section 1J9-16.A requires a minimum lot
size of 80,000 sq'llal'e feet and frontage of 150 feet for building
purposes. Application 015-90, rtonald Bamber, Lot 5 of Land Court

Planninp Board as not requiring approval under the Subdivision
Control Law in accordance with General Laws, Chapter 41, Section SlF,
on March 17,1972, in File No. 992. No zoning requirements were

Limited Use General Zoning District with a minimum lot size of
50,000 square feet and minimum frontaFe of 200 feet by the approval
of the initial Nantucket Zoning By-Law which became effective on
July 27,1972. In 197J the lots were placed in a Limited Use General-2

~,g_~j.JJ'9-E9~.!~Ly,evin Dale,Esq. was continued from the IVlarch 9,1990
meeting. The request was for modification of a previously
Franted Variance to allow increase in ground cover on an undersized
lot. The property is located at 22 Willard Street, Assessor's
Parcel 29-79. Kevin Dale,Esq. presented the Board with a new
plan that eliminated the entire second story that had been pro-
posed at the earlier meetinf. The new plan would add a ten foot
by fourteen foot bedroom which would add 144 sq. ft. of ~round
cover to the existing p-round cover. A twelve by seventeen foot
deck was also proposed but that was not considered fround cover.

Brant Point Association, and with Rhoda Weinman who represented
an a~butter, Andrea Dobbs, in an effort to work out an acceptable
paan. He also added that there would be a restriction on the
relief that limited construction until after Labor Day,1990.
Plannin~ Board recommendation was favorable. Rhoda Weinman,Esq.
stated that the plan was acceptable to her client with the
condition that no construction be started until after September 15,1990
and finished before June 15,199~. Mr. Dale added that the relief
should include construction of a chimney that raised the ground
cover sli~htly. Peter Dooley made the motion to ~rant the relief

until September 15,1990 and no construction after June 15,1991.
Michael O'Mara seconded the motion. All were in favor.
~lication o26-9Q{Richard Arnol~inn Lane/Ted Tillotson,EsQ~
was a request for a Special Permit to allow the placement and stora~e
use of an P' by 40' box-like container on the premises at 14 Winn
Lane, Assessor's Parcel 56-204, Lot 12. Furthermore, in the
alternative, the Applicant appeals from the decision of the
Buildinp Commissioner that the storage container use on his vacant
lot is not a use permitted under the zoning code,e.~. Section 1J9-SA,
-17 or -20D. Attorney Tillotson argued that if the container
were put on wheels, it could be left in front of the lot on the
street. He asked that the container be allowed on the other lot
owned by ~lr. Arnold. Chairman Sherman said that the container
was not a trailer and ~ii not have a permitted use. The applicant
has a building permit for 8 Winn Street and wants this permit to
apply to a container located at 14 Winn Street. A building permit
is only valid for uses on the lot for which it was issued. The
container is not on the same lot as construction and Chairman Sherman

asked if it was used for construction or commercial use. {'
Richard Arnold said it was not used for commercial use. Linda Williams
commented that the house had been under construction for ten
years and asked how long the container had been on the property.
She expressed concern that it could be a fire hazard. Chairman
Sherman said that unless it could be shown how the container had
a permitted use, relief could not be granted. Mr. Tillotson
maintained thatllo relief was necessary because the container is
not defined in Zoninf" By-Laws. Paul I,ei~htontEsq. was present
representing Richard Fite of 15 Winn's Lane in opposition to }~r. Arnold.
Mr. Fite bou~ht in this residential area and is adamantly opposed
to havinv the L}O' container remain at 14 Winn's Lane. He maintained
that property values have declined because the container is an
eyesore and that it can be seen from hif"her ground such as Prospect
Cemetery. };s. Shelia DeBurren was present with pictures of the
container. She said that there was an awful lot of activity
in the early hours with lumber and build~ng supplies being taken
from the container weekly and sometimes daily. She maintained that
the container was used for commercial purposes. John Becker was
also present and spoke in opposition. He said .the container was
used for commercial purposes and had witnessed lumber corning and
goinv from the container. Richard Arnold denied that the container
was used for commercial use. Chairman Sherman asked Mr. Arnold why
lumber was coming and goinF from the container and Mr. Arnold replied
that he had viven it to someone. Mr. Sherman noted that there were
many letters in opposition and that the Planning Board Recommendation
was unfavorable. Motion was made by Dale Waine to grant relief.
Motion was seconded. All opposed.

property is located at 256 Polpis aoad, Assessor's Parcel 25-025,
Lot 2 of Land Court Plan 13443-F. Chairman Sherman asked if
there was any opposition to this because of its historic value.
Attorney Reade said that the shed had marginal utility at best
and it had been ~ranted a demolition permit by the HDC.
I,inda Williams said the Board should not allow people to ~o over
the p-round cover. r.hairman Sherman sUFP-ested that reli..ef be
Franted conditional on the removal of the shed. Anne Balas said

Existing groundcover is 1330 SF, which is 232 SF over the 1098 SF
allowed on the 3659 SF lot. The groundcover is said to predate
zoning. The addition would bring groundcover to 1379 SF, or
37% groundcover. There would be two off-street parking spaces
and the Planning Board Recommendation is favorable. Mr. Miklos
represented himseLf and said he had a Purchase and Sale Agreerrent
from the current owners. He showed the site plan and saiB he
use space in t~e garage as a GUmnler room. Robert Leichter asked
if the garage was a two car garaFe. Mr. Mik~os said that the
garage space was for storage and the summer room, but that additional
parkin~ space could be provided. He provided two perspective
sketches. Shairman Sherman asked what the loss in structure space
would be with the staircase. Mr. Miklos said the loss would be
50 SF on each floor. Robert Leichter asked why the relief of
49 SF couldn't be taken out of the ~arage. Mr. Miklos said that
he needed the garage for outside storage and he would rather not
tear it sown. Chairman Sherman said that normally the Board ~ants
pToundcover to cover cars, but N:r. Miklos was aSking to push the
cars into the street. Spencer Cowan, Esq. said he questioned the
Residential-Old Historic restrictions and did not think this
could be used as a two-family dwellinR. Arthur Reade, Esq.
represented Mr. McGallister in opposition. Mr. McGallister
resides at 51 Union St. Mr. Reade said that Dover Street is a
very narrow one-way street that cars cannot turn back out on.
It is a heavily traveled street which has had many accidents
already. r.1r. Reade showed the street plan of Dover Street. He
said that in three years there has been no active two-family
dwelling and Mr. McGallister would like to see it remain a single-
family dwelling. Vehicles would be a problem and to have a
two-family dwelling would not be in the best interest of the
neighborhood. David LegFett said it would be a detriment to
the neighborhood. Melissa Philbrick,Esq. commented that two

families have two cars so the traffic situation is not changed that
much. Chairman Sherman asked if leases could be produced to
prove proof of occupancy. non Santos, Building Commissioner,
said that there was a letter on file that showed the e~istence
of a two-family dwelling. It is a duplax now and it could still
receive a permit as such. The stairway could be put inside if
there is no tenant in there. Chairman Sherman saic. there was a
question of abandonment of use. Linda williams said that it was
rented. Robert ~eichter said the Board should ask for a continuance
so that proof could be provided. Chairman Sherman said the Board
did not want to encoura~e non-conformin~ use. Robert Leichter
said that the Bo&rd should require the proof and look for an
alternative to the 49 SF. Motion was made by Robert Leichter
to continue the application until the May 4,1990 meetinr.
Linda Williams seconded. All in favor.

the environment would be protected from hazardous waste. Mr. Kelley
would like to move his business from 14 Nancy Ann Lane to

Siasconset. Rachel Hobart, Esq. represented herself and her
h~sband, Edward Toole. She presented the Board with plans
for the proposed construction stating that her hus~and owns the
