F:\1IpD\Dmm:r\ZBA appU.caUon foz: May 2010.docx
State below or attach a separate addendum of specific special permits or variance relief applying for:
The app1icants wish to divide their existing 10t, containing a
pr~ry dwe11ing and a secondary dwe11ing, into two 10ts, each
containing one of the dwellings, in order to facili tate a
property settlement in divorce proceedings. Although the
locus is a parallelogram 200' x 100', it contains about 18,209
square feet because of the angle between the street lines and
the side lines; min~ lot area in this Residential-10 zoning
district is 10,000 square feet. The applicants propose to
divide the locus so that the principal dwelling will be on a
lot, containing 10,000 square feet and fronting on Hooper Far.m
Road, conforming with all dimensional requirements of the
Nantucket Zoning By-law. The secondary dwelling would be on a
lot containing about 8,209 square feet and fronting on Hull
Lane; it would confor.m with all dimensional requirements of
the Zoning By-law except for lot area and front yard setback;
the secondary dwelling is sited about 11.5 feet from Hull Lane
at the closest point, with min~ front yard setback being 20
feet. Each dwelling already has its own driveway, with the
driveway for the principal dwelling coming in from Hooper Far.m
Road and the driveway for the secondary dwelling coming in
from Hull Lane; the result of dividing the lot would be to
eliminate the present nonconforming situation of there being
two driveway entrances. Accordingly, the applicants request
relief by variance from Zoning By-law ~ l39-l6.A (Intensity
Regulations), to allow the lot containing the present
secondary dwelling to have lot area reduced to about 8,209
square feet, and to have front yard setback reduced to about
11.5 feet in order to accommodate the existing dwelling.
I certify that the information contained herein is substantially complete and true to the
best of my knowledge, under the pains and penalties of perjury.

DECISION:
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of
Appeals, on Thursday, May 13, 2010, at 1:00 P.M., at 2
Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the
following decision on the application of JOSEPH A. DEMBY and JILL
H. ARAUJO DEMBY, c/o Reade, Gullicksen, Hanley & Gifford, LLP,
Post Office Box 2669, Nantucket, Massachusetts 02584, File No.
030-10:
2. The applicants wish to divide their existing lot
containing a primary dwelling and a secondary dwelling into two
lots, each of which would contain one of the dwellings. The
locus is situated in the Residential-10 zoning district, in which
the minimum lot area is 10,000 square feet. Although the lot's
dimensions are 100' x 200', it is in the shape of a parallelogram
rather than a rectangle, and as a result the lot area is about
18,209 square feet. At present, the primary dwelling receives
its access by a driveway entrance from Hooper Farm Road, while
the secondary dwelling's access is by a driveway from Hull Lane,
which runs parallel to Hooper Farm Road. This arrangement pre-
exists, and is nonconforming with, the present limitation of each
lot to a single driveway access under Nantucket Zoning By-law
~139-20.1. The applicants propose to divide their property into
two lots, one of which would front on Hooper Farm Road and
contain the primary dwelling, would be 10,000 square feet in area
and would conform to all dimensional zoning requirements, and the
other of which would contain about 8,209 square feet and the
secondary dwelling; it would thus be nonconforming in lot area,
and also would be nonconforming as to front yard setback, being
1
sited about 11.5 feet from Hull Lane at the closest point, with
minimum front yard setback in this district being 20 feet. The
present conditions upon the locus, and the approximate lines of
proposed division, are shown upon a sketch plan attached hereto
as Exhibit A, which shows the Hooper Farm Road lot as Lot 1 and
the Hull Lane lot as Lot 2. The applicants accordingly request
relied from By-law ~139-16.A (Intensity Regulations: Lot Area and
Front Yard Setback) with regard to Lot 2 in order to divide the
property as proposed. The locus is situated at 40 Hooper Farm
Road, Assessor's Parcel 67-272, is shown upon plan recorded with
Nantucket Deeds in Plan Book 15, Page 95, and is situated in a
Residential-10 zoning district.
3. Our decision is based upon the application and
accompanying materials, and representations and testimony
received at our public hearing. There was no Planning Board
recommendation, on the basis that no matters of planning concern
were presented. The applicants' counsel read fourteen letters
from neighbors in support of the application into the record; no
opposition was presented at the public hearing.
4. The Board of Appeals is mindful of the rigorous
standards for the granting of variances under applicable law, and
recognizes that variances are to be "sparingly granted". The
applicants represented that they were motivated to seek relief by
their pending divorce proceedings, but acknowledged that this was
not in itself a basis for the granting of variance relief. In
the absence of any basis for the statutory findings that are
necessary to support variance relief, the Board of Appeals would
be powerless to grant such relief. However, the applicants
argued that in the present case facts were presented that would
justify the grant of relief. Specifically, they suggested that
the shape of the locus, being a parallelogram, meets the
requirement that a variance be based upon soil conditions, shape
or topography which distinguishes it from other lots in the same
zoning district; that the division of the locus into two lots
would eliminate a zoning nonconformity because each of the
resultant lots would have a single driveway, and thus that the
requested relief would not derogate from the purpose and intent
of the Zoning By-law; that the strong expression of support from
neighbors, with the absence of opposition, demonstrates the
desirability of the relief to be granted; and that the financial
hardship of having the locus as a single lot, rather than two
lots, is evident.
5. On the basis of this presentation, a majority consisting
of four of the members sitting (Waine, Koseatac, Botticelli and
McCarthy), with one (Toole) opposed, voted to make the finding
that the proposed relief, for the reasons advanced by the
applicants as set forth above, that owing to circumstances
2
relating to the shape of the locus and the structures thereon,
and especially affecting the locus but not generally affecting
lots in the same zoning district, a literal application of the
provisions of the By-law would result in a substantial financial
hardship to the applicants, and that desirable relief may be
granted as requested by the applicants without derogating from
the purpose and intent of the By-law; and accordingly to grant
the requested relief by variance from lot area and front yard
setback for the lot to be created approximately as shown as Lot 2
on Exhibit A; subject to the following conditions:
(a) No additional ground cover shall be placed upon
either of the lots to be created by the division of the locus
without further relief from this Board; and
(b) No secondary dwellings shall be permitted upon
either of such lots.
