Cumbie, requests Special Permit relief pursuant to Section 139- 33(9) of the Nantucket Zoning By-Law ("By-Law") for his property located at I Lowell Place (hereinafter "the Property"). The Property is shown on a Plan recorded in Plan Book 14, Page 20 at the Nantucket Registry of Deeds, is also shown as Parcel 511 on Tax Map 41 and is shown on a Plan drawn by Weller and Associates dated August 3, 2010, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (hereinafter the "Plan"). The Property is located in the R-l Zoning District and has an area of 2,027+/- square feet. See Plan. A maximum ground cover ratio of thirty (30%) percent is permitted in the R-l Zoning District. The total ground cover permitted for the Property is 608 square feet. As shown on the Plan, there is a pre-existing non-conforming garage on the Property which has an area of 680 square feet, exceeding the allowable ground cover in the R-l zoning district by approximately seventy-two (72) square feet. The garage is also nonconforming as to the side yard set back requirements in the R-l zoning district. As noted on the Plan, the garage was built in 1961 and is therefore a pre-existing non-conforming structure with respect to current zoning intensity regulations. The applic~t seeks permission to demolish the existing garage on the Property and replace it with a new cottage with an equivalent footprint of 680 square feet. The proposed cottage is shown on a plan prepared by Nantucket Architecture Group, dated July 30, 2010, attached hereto as Exhibit "B". Unlike the existing garage, the proposed cottage will fully confonn with set back requirements in the R-I Zoning District. Under Section 139-33 (9) of the By Law: If the preexisting nonconfonning structure(s) upon any lot exceed the permitted ground cover ratio, the special permit granting authority may grant a special permit to authorize the removal and reconstruction of any or all of the preexisting structure(s), or any portiones) thereof, with ground cover in excess of the permitted ground cover ratio, provided that: (a) Such a special permit shall have been issued prior to the removal of the preexisting nonconfonning structure(s), or any portiones) thereof; (b) Complete or partial removal and reconstruction of a structure shall not result in an increase in the ground cover of that structure nor of any other structure; and two or more structures that are reconstructed shall remain separate from each other; (c) All reconstructed structure(s) or portiones) thereof, shall confonn to' all applicable front rear and side yard set back requirements; unless relief therefrom is granted under separate provisions of this chapter; and (d) The special permit granting authority shall have made the fmding thatthe result of the proposed removal and reconstruction shall not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconforming structure and/or use ' Accordingly, the applicant seeks Special Permit relief under Section 139-33(9) of the By- Law to remove the preexisting, non-conforming garage on the Property and to replace it with the proposed cottage. As required under the By-Law, the proposed cottage will have the same footprint and ground cover as the existing garage and therefore will not result in an increase in 'ground cover on the Property. Additionally, the proposed cottage will be compliant with the set back requirements in the R-l zoning district, curing the existing side yard set back violations on the Property. The proposed cottage will be an attractive addition to the Lowell Place neighborhood and will replace an unsightly garage. For these reasons, the proposed removal and reconstruction will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing non-conforming garage but rather will serve to enhance the neighborhood with an improved and more conforming structure. Under these circumstances, the applicant respectfully requests the Board of Appeals to grant the requested Special Permit under Section 139-33(9) to allow the demolition or removal of the existing garage and the construction of the proposed cottage. /- 2 Town of Nantucket Web GIS - Map Page Addltlonallnfo Page 1 of 1 Town of Nantucket Web GIS .,aa__ Parcels ___~ Zoom In . ::. :.: ~ ~..

At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals, on Thursday, September 9, 2010, at 1:00 P.M., at 2 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following decision on the application of RICHARD L. CUMBIE, c/o Vaughan, Dale, Hunter, Stetina, and Beaudette, P.C., PO Box 659, Nantucket, MA 02554, File No. 051-10: 2. Applicant is requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-33. A. (9) (reconstruction of preexisting, nonconforming structures) in order to demolish the existing garage on the Locus and replace, it with a new cottage wi th the equivalent footprint of 680 square feet. The Locus is nonconforming as to lot size, having about 2027 square feet in a zoning district that requires a minimum lot size of 5000 square feet; and nonconforming as to setbacks being sited in the five foot side yard setback. The proposed cottage will be compliant with the setback requirements of the R-1 zoning district. There will be no change in ground cover as a result of this project. The site is located at 1 Lowell Place, is shown on Nantucket Tax Assessor's Map 41 as Parcel 511, is shown in Plan Book 14, Page 20, and is recorded at the Nantucket County Registry of Deeds in Book 1220, Page 41. The site is zoned Residential - 1. 3. Our accompanying recei ved at decision is based upon the materials, and representations our public hearing. There was no application and and testimony Planning Board 1 recommendation, on the basis that no matters of planning concern were presented. There was no abutter comment in favor or in opposition to the Application. 4. Attorney 0' Elia represented the Applicant. Attorney O'Elia informed the Board that the Applicant is requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-33.A. (9) (reconstruction of preexisting, nonconforming structures) in order to demolish the existing garage on the Locus and replace it with a new cottage with the equivalent footprint of 680 square feet. At the hearing it was stated that the Locus is undersized for the R-1 zoning district, having a lot size of 2,027 +/- square feet in a zoning district that requires a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. Accordingly, a maximum ground cover ratio of 30% is allowed for the Locus. The total ground cover permitted for the Locus is 608 square feet. Attorney O'Elia presented a plan to the Board prepared by Weller & Associates, dated August 3, 2010, which shows a pre-existing, nonconforming garage on the Locus that has an area of approximately 680 square feet. The 680 square feet of ground cover exceeds the allowable ground cover as allowed under the Zoning Bylaw for the Locus by about 72 square feet. The garage is also nonconforming as to side yard setback requirements in the R-1 district. Attorney O'Elia also produced an aerial photograph showing that the structure has existed in its current location and configuration with no material external change since 1957 and is therefore pre-existing, nonconforming with respect to current intensity regulations. f Attorney O'Elia explained to the sitting Board that the Applicant requests permission to demolish the existing garage on the Locus and replace it with a new cottage with an equivalent footprint of 680 square feet, as allowed pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-33.A. (9) . Unlike the existing garage, the proposed cottage will fully conform to the setback requirements in the R-1 zoning district. 5. Therefore, after a discussion with the Applicant and Counsel for the Applicant, the Board finds that such a Special Permit may be granted to approve the reconstruction of the preexisting nonconforming structure as the setback nonconformity will be cured and the newly constructed cottage will have the same ground cover as the preexisting nonconforming garage currently on the Locus. In light of this, the Board determined that this reconstruction would not be substantially more 2 detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformity on the Locus. 6. Accordingly, by a unanimous vote of the sitting Board, the Board of Appeals made the finding that the proposed reconstruction of the preexisting nonconforming garage to a new cottage would not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformity and duly allowed the proposed reconstruction of a cottage, and that said cottage will subsequently retain the preexisting nonconforming status with respect to the intensity regulation of ground cover that benefited the existing garage, with the condition that all work shall be done in substantial compliance with the site plan entitled "New Dwelling for 1 Lowell Place", prepared by Nantucket Architecture Group, dated July 30, 2010, attached hereto as "Exhibit "A". ,SIGNATURE PAGE TO FOLLOW 3 Dated: jrJo/ur elf:; , 2010 COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Nantucket, ss.
