Re: ZBA Decision 061-11 —Edward F. Ahnemann
Dear Catherine,
Attached please find the corrected first and second page to ZBA Decision No. 061-11. After recording
said decision,it was noticed that the ground cover ratio was incorrectly calculated. The correct ground
cover ratio should be 5.67%, not 5.36%.
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, October 13, 2011, at 1: 00 P.M. , in the
Public Safety Facility Community Room at 4 Fairgrounds Road,
Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following decision
on the application of EDWARD F. AHNEMANN, c/o Nancy Drahzal of
Structures Unlimited, 2 Greglen Avenue, Post Office Box 64,
Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554, File No. 061-11 :
2 . The locus consists of a nonconforming lot, which
contains one single-family dwelling, with ground cover of 1496
square feet, or 4 . 57% . The owners wish to construct a 240 square
foot garage on the site, thus increasing the ground cover ratio
from 4 . 57% to 5. 36 5 . 67% in a zoning district that allows a
maximum ground cover ratio of 3% . Accordingly, the applicant
seeks relief by Special Permit under By-law §139-33 .A (4)
(alteration of preexisting nonconforming structures and lots)
for the addition of a 240 square foot garage to the Locus . The
Locus is situated at 26 SESAPANA ROAD, Nantucket Assessor' s Map
68, Parcel 98, is shown on Land Court Plan No. 14664-C, and is
registered as Certificate of Title No. 14 , 619 in the Nantucket
County Registry District of the Land Court . The property is
zoned Limited Use General - 3 .
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 matter of planning concern
was presented. The Board of Appeals received no written
communications from neighboring property owners in opposition to
or in favor of the granting of relief.
4 . Ms . Drahzal explained to the Board that the Applicant
is requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning
Bylaw Section 139-33 .A. (4) in order to alter the preexisting
nonconforming lot by adding a 240 square foot garage to the
Locus .
1
As a result of said alteration, the preexisting nonconforming
ground cover ratio will be increased from 4 . 57% to 5. 36 5 . 67% in
a zoning district that allows a maximum ground cover ratio of
3% .
Such pre-existing nonconformities are common in this area, with
numerous similar permits granted by the Board for this
neighborhood, as evidenced by the decision in Files Nos . 067-89
(authorization for a 2, 485 SF structure) , 110-92 (Special Permit
to validate existing addition and for increase of ground cover
to 1, 988 SF) , 026-97 (Special Permit to increase ground cover to
2, 893 SF) , 046-99 as modified by 058-02 (Special Permit to
increase ground cover to 2, 222 SF) , and 089-01 (Special Permit
to add full basement and increase in ground cover to 2, 334 SF) .
These decisions repeat that, subject to Special Permit relief,
the Board of Appeals and the Building Inspector (who was
previously also the Zoning Officer) has treated these lots as
being subject to the requirements of the R-2 zoning district,
which allows 12 . 5% ground cover.
6. Based upon the foregoing analysis, the Board of Appeals,
by a vote of five members in favor (Waine, Koseatac, Poor,
McCarthy, and Angelastro) , made the finding that the proposed
construction of a 240 square foot garage upon the locus, such
that the ground cover ratio will be increased from 4 . 57% to 5 . 35
5 . 67%, would not increase the existing nonconformity nor create
any new nonconformities, and accordingly granted the requested
Special Permit under By-law §139-33 .A for such alterations as
shown on the attached site plan as modified by Nancy Drazahl,
entitled, "Exhibit A - 26 Sesapana Road. "
