Upon review of the Application submitted by the Applicant, the Zoning Administrator determined pursuant to Nantucket Zoning By -Law Section 139 - 33.A(1)(b) that the proposed alteration and structural change to the pre - existing non - conforming structure do not increase its non - conforming nature. 2. The Applicant proposes to alter the pre- existing nonconforming garage within the existing footprint. The structure is sited within the westerly rear yard setback. The work consists of raising the structure to remove and replace a failed rubble foundation. The structure will be set back down on a new concrete slab foundation without any change to the footprint or the height. This alteration will be no closer to the rear yard lot line than the existing structure. The proposed alterations have been granted Historic District Commission approval by virtue of Certificate of Appropriateness No. 62974. 3. The Locus, as shown on plan entitled, "Existing Conditions Plan in Nantucket, Massachusetts ", dated May 26, 2014, prepared by Bracken Engineering, Inc. and attached herewith as "Exhibit A ", has a lot area of approximately 5,986 square feet in the Sconset Residential 1 ( "SR -1 ") zoning district which requires a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet. The property abuts Lincoln Street to the west, King Street to the south, and West Sankaty Avenue (sometimes known as West Sankaty "Road ") to the east. Due to the triple- frontage, the required rear yard setback distance for this lot is ten (10) feet. Pursuant to Bylaw Section 139 - 16.C(3), structures on a lot in the SR -1 zoning district abutting two or more streets or ways, whether constructed or not, must maintain the minimum ten (10) foot setback from each street or way. 4. The lot contains two pre- existing nonconforming structures with an existing ground cover ratio of 24% where a maximum of 30% is allowed. The 1,198 square foot dwelling structure is pre- existing nonconforming as to front yard setback, being sited as close as 2.1 feet from the easterly front yard lot line, abutting West Sankaty Avenue, where a ten (10) foot front yard setback is required. The proposed alterations to the dwelling consist of repositioning it on the lot such that the easterly front yard setback nonconformity will be cured. Once relocated, an addition will be built to increase the existing footprint of the 2 dwelling from 1,198 square feet to approximately 1,376 square feet. This addition will not result in an overage of allowable ground cover. The 240 square foot garage is pre- existing nonconforming as to setbacks, being sited .04 feet over the westerly rear yard lot line, abutting Lincoln Street, where a ten (10) foot setback distance must be maintained pursuant to Section 139 - 16.C(3). The two structures on the lot are said to pre -exist the local adoption of the zoning by -law in 1972. The proposed alterations will not increase the front or rear yard setback intrusions. 5. Therefore, because the proposed alterations to the garage 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.
