■ 076 -11 Nantucket Housing Authority Surfside Road Singer
Action Deadline June 14, 2012.
Attorney Andrew Singer represented the Applicant at the hearing.
Attorney Singer discussed the materials he had previously submitted to the Board and
some of the concerns the Applicant has had. One such concern was the amount for the
peer review.
Michael O'Mara asked the Applicant to discuss his interpretation of the Amesbury case
and what constitutes an uneconomic factor.
Attorney Singer explained that Amesbury is useful in understanding the purview of the
ZBA during a 40B hearing and what aspects of a 40B project the ZBA should review.
The Board and the Applicant then analyzed the proposed site plan.
Brian Sullivan, a member of the public, asked about the access issue off of South Shore
Road and questioned whether or not the traffic studies were done in the off - season.
Ed Marchant, the technical consultant for the ZBA, explained that the focus is on access
and line of sight and that the proposed design is the preferred configuration.
Kerim Koseatac mentioned that he still has issues with how this project will impact public
and traffic safety.

Lisa Botticelli explained that she didn't think any access off South Shore Road would be
feasible.
Andrew Singer and Chairman Toole agreed that there will be appropriate signage at the
bike path, as well an interior sidewalk for the community.
The Board came to a consensus on the access and determined that the access off Surfside
Road is the most practical.
The Board and the Applicant then had a discussion regarding the materials for the
sidewalks and curbing. After a lengthy discussion regarding pricing and configurations,
the Board asked the Applicant to use concrete sidewalks and concrete curbings.
A recess was called at 1:00 pm. The hearing was reconvened at 1:07 pm.
The Board and the Applicant then discussed the landscaping plan and how it would fit
with the Homeowners Association documents. The Board reviewed the landscaping plan
and had no issues with it.
The Board then discussed the possibility of basement expansion and the density issue.
The Board was split on this matter, with some members thinking basement expansion
was reasonable, while others felt the basement expansion would lead to additional
bedroom units.
Ed Marchant suggested that whatever driveway waivers may be needed, these waivers
should be requested on a per -lot basis.
Will Willauer, an abutter, asked if the Board realized the Applicants would be going to
CPC for additional funding. Mr. Willauer further asked whether or not any of the money
allocated at Annual Town Meeting has been spent yet.
A motion was made ( Botticelli) and duly seconded to continue the matter to June 14th at
noon. The vote was 5 -0 in favor.

feet from the lot line.
A motion was made (Botticelh) and duly seconded to approve the requested relief. The
vote was 5 -0 in favor (Toole, O'Mara, Botticelli, Koseatac, McCarthy).

Action Deadline August 8, 2012
190 Cliff Road
Attorney Arthur Reade represented the Applicant.
Reade
Attorney Reade explained the application to the Board and suggested that the increase in
ground cover would be allowable because the property was recently rezoned and made
nonconforming as to ground cover ratio. Attorney Reade also asked for the Board to
overturn the decision of the Zoning Enforcement Officer and make the finding that only
the enclosed area shall be counted for ground cover ratio.
A motion was made ( Botticelli) and duly seconded to sustain the appeal and make the
determination that only the enclosed areas shall count towards ground cover ratio. The
vote was 5 -0 in favor (Toole, O'Mara, Botticelli, Koseatac, McCarthy).
