Re: ZBA Decision 086 -11 — Lawrason — Typographical error
Dear Catherine,
Attached please find the corrected first page to ZBA Decision No. 086 -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,
John B. Brescher
Zoning Board of Appeals Administrator

DECISION:
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals, on Thursday
December 8, 2011, at 1:00 P.M., at 4 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board
made the following decision on the application of Jock D. Lawrason, with a mailing address 43

43� i . -3, 2. T e Locus is situated at 14 Center Street, Sconset, is shown on Nantucket Tax
Assessor's Map as Parcel 104, and title is recorded at the Nantucket County Registry of
Deeds in Book 676, Page 280 and Book 877 Page 177. 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 full basement thereunder and to return
the building to its current location. No change in ridge height is requested. Applicant obtained a
Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Districts Commission for the proposed work
(Cert. No. 56993). The site plan attached as Exhibit A indicates a current threshold elevation of
37.2' and also indicates the location of a benchmark at 37.00' so that the elevation upon
completion can be confirmed (as required by the HDC approval).
4. The current location of the dwelling is shown on plan entitled "Plan of Land in
Nantucket, MA," prepared by Blackwell & Associates, Inc., dated August 16, 2011, and is
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 a few letters from abutters, primarily concerned with the imposition of certain
time restrictions for exterior work at Locus, with protecting the roads and with minimizing the
impact of the work on the neighbors. There was also one letter on file in support of the
application.
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 place a full basement underneath and to return the
building to its current location. No increase in ridge height is requested as part of this
