MODIFICATION OF DECISION
This document shall clarify the decision regarding the above-referenced Locus, dated
June 10, 2011 and recorded with the Nantucket Registry of Deeds in Book 1285, Page
174, by deleting paragraphs 4 and 6 of said decision and replacing them with the
following paragraphs:
"4. Attorney Jessie M. Glidden represented the Applicants. 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) and
139-33.A.(9) (removal and reconstruction of any or all of the preexisting structure(s)
or any portion(s) thereof with ground cover in excess of the permitted ground cover) in
order to renovate the main house by lifting the building to reconstruct the foundation; due
to the condition of the back portion of the building (approximately 450 square feet in
ground cover) in order to lift the main house and renovate it in accordance with the
HDC approved plans submitted herewith, it will be necessary to demolish the back
portion of the main house, and then to re-construct the rear portion of the main house
as shown on said HDC approved plans. As part of such construction, The Applicant
proposes to put a 32 square foot addition (4 x 8 bay window) at the rear of the main
house. As a result of said work, the ground cover of the finished building will be
increased by no more than 32 square feet. Applicant has received HDC approval for
said renovations.
"The Applicant also proposes to renovate the cottage by lifting the building to reconstruct
the foundation. The existing ground cover of the cottage will be reduced by
approximately ten square feet in order to cure the existing encroachment onto the
neighbor to the southeast; the cottage will also be moved toward Centre Street so that it
will be in compliance with the rear setback requirement of five feet. The cottage as
proposed will continue to violate the sideline setbacks as it is proposed to be sited with a
0.5 foot setback from both side lot lines. Applicant has received HDC approval for said
renovation.
"The subject property is nonconforming as to lot size, having approximately + 3,291
square feet in a zoning district that requires a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet;
nonconforming as to frontage, having only 30.11 feet of frontage in a zoning district that
requires a minimum frontage of 50 feet; nonconforming as to rear and side yard setback
being sited as close as 4.3 feet from the rear yard lot line and zero feet from the side lot
lines in a zoning district that requires a rear and side yard setback of five feet; and,
nonconforming as to ground cover ratio having a ground cover ratio of 55.36% in a
zoning district with a maximum ground cover ratio of 50% (30% for undersized lots).
"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."
"6. Therefore, after a 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 lift the main house to repair and/or
reconstruct the foundation, to put a 32 square foot addition at the rear of the main house,
to demolish the back portion of the main house (approximately 450 square feet), to
reconstruct tlce back portion of the main house in accordance with the HDC approved
plans, and to renovate and relocate the existing cottage, all as shown on the HDC
approved plans submitted herewith, because the proposed alterations would not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformities on
the Locus."
