State below or attach a separate addendum of specific special permits or variance relief applying for
The subject property consists of a 2 story house built long before 1972, with a total ground
cover of 883+ square feet, as shown on Existing Conditions Site Plan prepared by Island
Surveyors, LLC, dated August 10, 2011, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit A.
The subject property is located in the Sconset Old Historic District, which provides for a
minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet, minimum frontage of 50 feet, front yard setback of
zero feet, rear /sideline setback of 5 feet, and a ground cover ratio of 30% (since the Lot is
pre- existing, nonconforming, and under 5,000 s.£).
The subject property is nonconforming as to lot size as it has an area of 1,744+ s.£;
nonconforming as to rear /sideline setback, as shown on the plan attached hereto As Exhibit
A; nonconforming as to ground cover ratio with a current ratio of 50.63 %.
Applicant proposes to renovate the dwelling by lifting it, and placing it on piers in order to
lift the building slightly above grade. Over the years, the building has sunk and in order to
properly maintain the building it is advisable to lift it and place it on piers so that it remains
above grade.
At the time of this application, Applicant has applied to the HDC for said renovations, but
has not yet obtained a Certificate of Appropriateness. It is anticipated that Applicant will
have obtained said Certificate of Appropriateness from the HDC by the time this application
is heard by the ZBA. Applicant will provide a copy of such Certificate as well as the
approved plans to ZBA staff once same are available.
As a result of placing piers under the building, the height of the building will be increased by
no more than ten inches (10 "). Applicant proposes to place the building down in the same
location and does not intend to shift the building, as shown on Proposed Site Plan, prepared
by Island Surveyors, LLC, dated August 10, 2011, a copy of which is attached hereto as
Exhibit B. The dwelling currently leans into the adjacent property (2 Center Street) and
actually touches the neighboring building at one point. Pursuant to ZBA Application No.
011-11 (filed simultaneously herewith), the owners of the neighboring property propose to
move the dwelling which currently touches the building on Locus away from the shared
property line so that it will be easier to maintain both buildings going forward.
Applicants request relief by Special Permit under By -law §139 -33.A (4) and /or (5), for the
alteration of the house on Locus, nonconforming as to ground cover and side /rear setbacks,
to lift the building, place it on piers, and return it to its current location, as shown on Exhibit
B attached hereto.
In the alternative, Applicant requests variance relief pursuant to the intensity regulations set
forth in Section 139 -16 of the Nantucket Zoning By -Law.

DECISION:
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals, on Thursday
September 8, 2011 and Thursday October 13, 2011, at 1:00 P.M., at 4 Fairgrounds Road,
Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following decision on the application of Jessie M.
Glidden, Trustee of Sconset House Realty Trust under document of trust dated July 21, 2011,
and recorded with the Nantucket Registry of Deeds in Book 1292, Page 197, with a mailing
address c/o Glidden & Glidden, P.C., 37 Center Street, Post Office Box 1079, Nantucket,
Massachusetts 02554, File No. 058 -11:
2. The Locus is situated at 6 Center Street, Sconset, is shown on Nantucket Tax
Assessor's Map 73.3.1 73.1.3 as Parcel 31, and title is recorded at the Nantucket County Registry
of Deeds in Book 1292, Page 195. There is no record plan for Locus. Locus is zoned Sconset
Old Historic.
3. Applicant is requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw
Section 139- 33.A.(4) (alteration of preexisting nonconforming structures) in order to renovate
the existing dwelling by lifting the building to construct a crawlspace thereunder. As a result of
placing a crawlspace beneath the building and to lift the building out of the ground, the ridge -
height of the main dwelling will be increased by not more than ten (10) inches. Applicant has
obtained approval from the Historic Districts Commission for the proposed renovation (see
Certificate of Appropriateness Number 56997).
4. The current location of the dwelling is shown on plan entitled "Proposed Site Plan
of Land in Nantucket, Mass. dated August 10, 2011, Revised October 6, 2011 ", prepared by
Island Surveyors, LLC, and attached hereto as Exhibit A.
5. 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 matter of planning concern was presented. The Board of
Appeals received several letters from abutters some in support and others in opposition to
Applicant's proposal; several abutters appeared at the public hearing to voice their concerns
regarding the project.
6. Attorney Jessie M. Glidden represented the Applicant. Attorney Glidden stated
that the Applicant is requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw
Section 139- 33.A.(4) (alteration of preexisting nonconforming structures) in order to renovate
the existing dwelling by lifting the building to get the building out of the ground, since the
1
building has sunk over the years. As a result of lifting the building out of the ground and placing
a crawlspace foundation underneath the building, the ridge- height of the dwelling will be
increased by not more than ten (10) inches. Applicant has obtained approval from the Historic
Districts Commission for the proposed renovation (see Certificate of Appropriateness Number
56997)
7. Attorney Glidden stated that Locus is nonconforming as to lot size, having
approximately 1,744+ square feet in a zoning district that requires a minimum lot size of 5,000
square feet; nonconforming as to side and rear setbacks, being sited as close as 0.1 feet from the
side yard lot line and 1.7 feet from the rear lot line in a zoning district that requires a minimum
of 5 feet; and nonconforming as to ground cover ratio having a ground cover ratio of 50.63% in a
zoning district with a maximum ground cover ratio of 50% (30% for undersized lots). Locus is
conforming as to front yard setback inasmuch as the zoning district allows for a setback of zero
(0) feet.
8. In the alternative, Attorney Glidden informed the Board that the Applicant is
requesting Variance relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139 -32 (variances) from
the intensity regulations in Section 139 -16 (intensity regulations) for the work proposed.
9. There was public comment from abutters at both the hearing in September and
again at the October hearing. These comments expressed general dissatisfaction with the
proposed renovations as well as concerns including construction noise, protection of the
surrounding roads (Center Street and Shell Street), storage of construction materials and tools
during the renovation, parking of construction vehicles, and maintaining the historic street -scape
of Sconset. The Board expressed concern regarding the construction methodology, especially
with regard to the work to construct the crawlspace foundation underneath the dwelling in its
proximity to the surrounding roads.
10. Therefore, after discussion with Counsel for the Applicant, the Board finds that
such a Special Permit may be granted to approve the alteration of the preexisting nonconforming
structure in order to place a crawlspace foundation beneath the building, resulting in a ridge
height increase of not more than 10 inches, as the proposed alterations would not be substantially
more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformities on the Locus.
11. Accordingly, by a unanimous vote of the board, the Board of Appeals made the
finding that the proposed alterations would not be substantially more detrimental to the
neighborhood than the existing nonconformities and allowed the proposed alterations, with the
following conditions:
a. The renovation shall be done substantially in conformance with Historic Districts
Commission Certificates of Appropriateness No. 56997;
b. No exterior construction to be performed between May 15th and October 1" and
there shall be no work performed on Sundays during any year. It is the intention of the Board
that this restriction on exterior construction be interpreted to mean that exterior "work- stations"
and exterior use of power tools shall also be prohibited.;
P
C. Applicant shall have the siting of the foundation surveyed once completed, prior
to placing the dwelling on the foundation in order to confirm the siting of the dwelling and to
alleviate the need for coming back to the Board to request further relief to address errors in
siting.
d. Applicant shall work with a licensed structural engineer to be sure that Applicant
is taking the necessary precautions regarding safeguarding the roads surrounding Locus in the
course of construction; said engineer's report to be filed with the Building Department prior to
the issuance of a Building Permit for such work;
e. Applicant shall perform the work in accordance with the construction
methodology attached hereto as Exhibit B; and
£ Applicant shall not use vibrated driven steel in the project, but shall use drilled,
pile driven steel in order to lessen the impact on the surrounding roads and on the property of the
surrounding neighbors.

From: John B. Brescher, ZBA Administrator
Re: ZBA Decision 058 -11 — Glidden, Tr. — Typographical error
Dear Catherine,
Attached please find the corrected first page to ZBA Decision No. 058 -11. After recording said decision,
it was noticed that the Nantucket Tax Assessor's Map number was inadvertently transposed. The Map
number should read: 73.1.3, not 73.3.1.
This is a technical correction that will not restart the appeal period.
Sincerely,

Re: ZBA Decisions 057 -11; 058 -11 — Douglas J. Hepworth and Cecilia L. Hepworth; Jessie TN1.
Glidden, Trustee of Sconset House Realty Trust
Dear Catherine,
At the April 12th 2012 monthly meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals, by a vote of 4 -0, the Board
found that the Applicant's request to modify the construction methodology as described in "Exhibit B"
of Zoning Board of Appeals Decision Nos. 057 -11 and 058 -11 is a technical amendment that does not
require public hearing or new public notice because said amendment doest not constitute a substantive
change to said decisions. The Board found that the order in which the proposed work is completed is
not a substantive aspect of said decisions.
This is a technical correction that will not restart the appeal period.
Sincerely,
