DECISION:
Book 1401, Page 307
No Plan
1. Upon review of the Application submitted by the Applicant, the Zoning
Administrator determined pursuant to Nantucket Zoning By -Law § 139 -
33.A(1)(b) that the proposed alteration, extension, and structural change to the
pre- existing non - conforming structure does not increase its non - conforming
nature.
2. The Applicant proposes to alter the pre- existing nonconforming structure by
demolishing a portion of the rear "ell" and by adding massing and shed dormers
to the portion of the structure that is outside the setbacks. The Applicant further
intends to raise the height of the structure from twenty -eight (28) feet to no higher
than thirty (30) feet, which is the maximum allowable height pursuant to Zoning
Bylaw Section 139 -17.A. The Applicant intends to construct a new porch on the
northeast side of the structure. This addition, while extending the rear setback
intrusion to the east, will be no closer to the rear lot line than the existing
structure. The proposed alterations have been granted Historic District
Commission approval by virtue of Certificate of Appropriateness No. 61829.
The proposed work consists of shifting the structure north and east on a new
foundation, a partial demolition of the rear of the structure, and an addition to the
portion of the structure that is outside of the setbacks. The alterations will bring
the dwelling's entire ground cover to 1,046 square feet, resulting in an increase in
ground cover ratio from 40.5% to 45.6% in a zoning district where a maximum
50% ground cover is allowed pursuant to the Section 139- 33.E(1)(a).
3. The Locus is an undersized lot of record, and is therefore pre- existing
nonconforming with respect to lot area, having a lot size of 2,292 square feet in
the ROH zoning district where minimum required lot size is 5,000 square feet,
and as to frontage, having 45.91 feet where frontage of 50 (fifty) feet is required.
The structure, a 929 square foot single - family dwelling, is pre - existing
nonconforming with respect to setbacks, being sited as close as 0.3 feet from the
northerly rear yard lot line and 0.5 feet from the westerly side yard lot line in a
zoning district that requires a five (5) foot side and rear yard setback.
4. Therefore, because the proposed alterations will not result in an increase to the
pre- existing non - conforming rear yard setback, the Zoning Administrator finds
that the proposed work will not increase the pre- existing nonconforming nature
of the Locus.
