Exhibit A
The applicants, Susan S. White and Lindsay White, Trustees of the Susan S. White
Revocable Trust, are requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning
Bylaw Section 139- 16.C.(2) and, to the extent necessary, Variance relief pursuant to
Section 139 -32 from the intensity regulations in Section 139 -16 in order to validate the
unintentional setback intrusion on the property.
Nonconformities
The Locus, 14 D Street, is an undersized lot of record, having approximately 14,842
square feet in a zoning district that requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.
The Locus is improved with an existing dwelling and bunk -house that was the subject of
Zoning Board of Appeals Special Permit No. 043 -00. The existing structures are
nonconforming with respect to rear yard setbacks and ground cover.
The primary dwelling is approximately 3.4 feet from the rear yard setback in a zoning
district that requires a ten (10) foot rear yard setback. However, this structure predates
the adoption of the Zoning Bylaw and is deemed a grandfathered structure as was
determined in Zoning Board of Appeals Special Permit No. 043 -00.
The bunk- house, which was originally approximately 2.67 feet from the southwesterly
setback received Special Permit relief in order to renovate and re -site the structure
outside of all setbacks (see condition 6 of said Special Permit decision). However, after
the new location of the bunk -house was staked and sited, a survey determined that the
structure is sited approximately 9.64 feet from the side yard setback in a zoning district
that requires a ten (10) foot rear yard setback.
The structures are also nonconforming with respect to ground cover ratio, having a
ground cover ratio of approximately 10.9% in a zoning district that requires a ground
cover ratio of approximately 10 %. However, at the time of the renovation and addition to
the bunk- house, the property was zoned R -2 which allowed for a ground cover ratio of
12.5 %. Therefore, the ground cover ratio is a preexisting nonconforming because the up-
zoning created this nonconformity when the property was rezoned to Village Residential
(VR).
Relief Requested
The applicants are requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket Zoning Bylaw
Section 139- 16.C.(2) to validate the siting of the bunk -house because the unintentional
setback intrusion was based upon a reasonably licensed survey after 1990 and is less than
five feet into the rear yard setback. Furthermore, as the structure was moved out further
from the lot line per Zoning Board of Appeals Decision No. 043 -00, the burden of
correcting this intrusion outweighs any benefit to an abutter of eliminating said intrusion.
In the alternative, the Applicants are requesting Variance relief pursuant to Section 139-
32 from the intensity regulations in Section 139 -16 to validate the siting of this existing
bunk- house.
Conclusion
The Applicants are requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Section 139- 16.C(2) in
order to validate the unintentional setback intrusion which is approximately 0.36 feet into
the ten (10) foot rear yard setback because the burden of correcting this de minimis
intrusion far outweighs any benefit to an abutter and because the relocation of the
structure was based upon a licensed survey after 1990. In the alternative, if the Board is
not inclined to grant the requested relief by Special Permit, the Applicants are requesting
Variance relief pursuant to Section 139 -32 from the intensity regulations in Section 139-
16 to validate the siting of this existing bunk- house.

Cert. of Title 18,283
At a Public Hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals
held at 1:00 P.M., Friday, June 9, 2000, in the Conference Room, Town
Annex Building, 37 Washington Street, Nantucket, Massachusetts, on the
Application of SUSAN D. WHITE; of 12 Blanchard Road, Nantucket, MA
02554, Board of Appeals File No. 043 -00, the Board made the following
Decision:
1. Applicant is seeking relief by SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket
Zoning Bylaw §139 -33A (alteration /expansion of a pre - existing
nonconforming use /structure). Applicant proposes to expand an existing
about 104 square -foot "bunk house" structure by constructing an
addition of about 316 square feet for a total ground cover of the new
bunk house to be about 420 square feet. The addition would expand the
one (1) small bedroom and add a bathroom without coming any closer to
the southwesterly side yard lot line than the existing structure, and
would be sited at about eight (8) feet from that lot line. The Locus is
nonconforming as to lot size with the Lot containing about 14,668
square feet of area in a district that requires a minimum lot size of
20,000 square feet; as to side yard setback with the single - family
dwelling being sited at about 3.4 feet at its closest point from the
westerly side yard lot line and with the bunk house being sited at
about 2.67 feet at its closest point from the southwesterly side yard
lot line in a district that requires a minimum side yard setback of ten
(10) feet.
The Premises is located at 14 "D" STREET, MADAKET, Assessor's
Map 60.2.1, Parcel 1, Land Court Plan 3092 -T, Lot 87A, including Parcel
18,-and Land Court Plan 3092 -R, Lot 104. The property is zoned
Residential -2.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and material
submitted with it and the testimony and evidence presented at the
hearing. The Planning Board made no recommendation as the matter was
not of planning concern. There was one (1) letter on file from a
predecessor -in -title (Applicant's mother) of,the subject property which
stated that she had bought the property in May of 1975. At that time,
there was a principal single -- family dwelling and a "small cottage ... had
electricity but no plumbing" which they "continued to use ... as a bedroom
090317 _
for guests and grandchildren ". There was no opposition expressed at the
hearing.
3. Applicant represented that she has continued to use the bunk
house consistently as a bedroom for overflow guests since the time the
title passed to her. Applicant further represented that through
discussions with a previous owner of the property, it was learned that
the bunk house was constructed in 1968 for use as an extra bedroom for
guests at a point about 2.67 feet from the southwesterly side.yard lot
line, during a time that pre -dated the enactment of the Zoning Bylaw,
thus the structure is validly grandfathered as to use and location.
Applicant proposes to construct an addition onto the bunk house that
would be no closer to the southwesterly side yard lot line that the
existing structure, but begin at a point that is about eight (8) feet
from the southwesterly side yard lot line and would extend in a
northeasterly direction away from that lot line. As part of the
renovation, a new foundation would be constructed under the existing
portion of the bunk house, thus raising the roof ridge height within
the setback area, while keeping that part of the structure intact. The
structure would continue to contain one (1) bedroom, but a bathroom and
siting area would be added, with no kitchen facilities. Though
Applicant is arguably allowed to have a secondary dwelling on the
Premises, which would require placement of a kitchen facilities, she
prefers to leave it as a guest bedroom only.
4. The Board expressed concern about the placement of the bunk
house, especially in light of the fact that the structure would have to
be raised up to put the foundation under it. The issue was raised as to
-what would prohibit the structure from being moved entirely out of the
required ten -foot side yard setback area to allow the existing bunk
house and addition to meet the requirements. Applicant agreed to move
the bunkhouse outside of the setback area to a point northeasterly of
the current location.
5. Therefore, the Board finds that the construction of the addition
onto the pre - existing nonconforming bunk house would not be
substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing
nonconforming structure, provided that the structure be moved entirely
outside of the required ten -foot side yard setback area. There would be
a benefit to the neighborhood in that the structure would then meet the
setback requirements and provide more separation between the subject
structure from the structure located on the lot immediately adjacent to
it to the east.
6. Accordingly, upon a UNANIMOUS VOTE, the Board GRANTS the
requested SPECIAL PERMIT under Nantucket Zoning Bylaw §139 -33A to allow
the expansion of a bunk house structure from about 104 square feet to a
total of about 420 square feet upon the following condition:
- The bunk house shall meet all setback requirements, i.e.,
be moved entirely outside of the southeasterly required ten -foot side
yard setback area.

Section 139- 16.C(2) or, in the alternative, relief by Variance pursuant to 139 -32 from the
side yard setback requirement in Section 139 -16, in order to validate the unintentional
setback intrusion of an existing bunkhouse sited approximately 9.64 feet from the rear
yard lot line in a zoning district which requires a ten (10) foot rear yard setback. The
Locus is an undersized lot of record, having approximately 14,742 square feet of lot area
in a zoning district that requires a minimum lot area of 20,000 square feet. Locus is pre-
existing nonconforming as to ground cover ratio, having 10.9% where a maximum of
10% is allowed, as to frontage having 50.52 feet of frontage where 100 feet of frontage is
required, and as to rear yard setbacks with the bunkhouse being sited as stated above and
the main dwelling being sited 3.4 feet from the rear yard lot line where a ten (10) foot
setback is required. The Locus is situated at 14 D Street, is shown on Nantucket Tax
Assessor's Map 60.2.1 as Parcel 1, as Lot 104 on Land Court Plan 3092 -R and as Lot 87-
A on Land Court Plan 3092 -T. Evidence of owner's title is registered as Certificate of
Title No. 21705 in the Nantucket County District of the Land Court. The site is zoned
Village Residential (VR).
3. Our Decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials and
representations and testimony received at the public hearing. There was no Planning
Board recommendation on the basis that no matters of planning concern were presented.
There was no opposition, written or oral, to the application.

4. Attorney John B. Brescher represented the applicant. Attorney Brescher
explained that the Applicants are requesting Special Permit relief in order to validate the
unintentional setback intrusion on the property.
The Locus, 14 D Street, is an undersized lot of record, having approximately 14,842
square feet in a zoning district that requires a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet.
The Locus is improved with an existing dwelling and bunk -house that was the subject of
Zoning Board of Appeals Special Permit No. 043 -00. The existing structures are
nonconforming with respect to rear yard setbacks and ground cover.
The primary dwelling is approximately 3.4 feet from the rear yard setback in a zoning
district that requires a ten (10) foot rear yard setback. However, this structure predates
the adoption of the Zoning Bylaw and is deemed a grandfathered structure as was
determined in Zoning Board of Appeals Special Permit No. 043 -00.
The bunk- house, which was originally approximately 2.67 feet from the southwesterly
setback received Special Permit relief in order to renovate and re -site the structure
outside of all setbacks (see condition 6 of said Special Permit decision). However, after
the new location of the bunk -house was staked and sited, a survey determined that the
structure is sited approximately 9.64 feet from the side yard setback in a zoning district
that requires a ten (10) foot rear yard setback.
The structures are also nonconforming with respect to ground cover ratio, having a
ground cover ratio of approximately 10.9% in a zoning district that requires a ground
cover ratio of approximately 10 %. However, at the time of the renovation and addition to
the bunk- house, the property was zoned R -2 which allowed for a ground cover ratio of
12.5 %. Therefore, the ground cover ratio is a preexisting nonconforming because the up-
zoning created this nonconformity when the property was rezoned to Village Residential
(VR).
Accordingly, the applicants are requesting Special Permit relief pursuant to Nantucket
Zoning Bylaw Section 139- 16.C.(2) to validate the siting of the bunk -house because the
unintentional setback intrusion was based upon a reasonably licensed survey after 1990
and is less than five feet into the rear yard setback. Furthermore, as the structure was
moved out further from the lot line per Zoning Board of Appeals Decision No. 043 -00,
the burden of correcting this intrusion outweighs any benefit to an abutter of eliminating
said intrusion.
In the alternative, the Applicants are requesting Variance relief pursuant to Section 139-
32 from the intensity regulations in Section 139 -16 to validate the siting of this existing
bunk- house.
5. Therefore, because said intrusion was based upon a reasonably licensed survey
after 1990 and is greater than five (5) feet from the rear yard setback, granting relief
would be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning bylaw and, furthermore,
3
the burden of correcting said intrusion outweighs any benefit to an abutter because the
intrusion may be considered de minimis.
6. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote of the sitting Board, the Board GRANTS
Special Permit relief pursuant to Bylaw Section 139- 16.C(2) for the unintentional setback
intrusion of the as -built bunk house as shown on a plan entitled, "Plot Plan of Land in
Nantucket, MA ", dated March 31, 2000, prepared by John J. Shugrue, Inc. and further
certified by Paul J. Santos, PLS on June 11, 2014, attached herewith as "Exhibit A ".
