DECISION:
Book 1410, Page 272
Plan Book 12, Page 50
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 do not increase its non - conforming nature.
2. The Applicant proposes to alter previously granted administrative relief in order
to allow demolition and re- construction of a portion of the pre- existing
nonconforming dwelling within the existing footprint. Prior relief, granted in ZA
Decision No. 18 -14, recorded in Book 1463, Page 145 with the Nantucket
Registry of Deeds, granted approval to elevate the entire structure, remove and
replace a failed foundation, and set the structure back down on the new
foundation without any change to the footprint. The proposed and approved work
included an approximate three (3) foot increase in roof ridge height of the
southern mass, resulting in a vertical extension of the southerly side yard setback
intrusion which will be no closer to the side yard lot lines than the existing
structure. The structure is sited within the side and rear yard setbacks. The
proposed alterations have been granted Historic District Commission approval by
virtue of Certificate of Appropriateness No. 62106.
3. In the process of performing the approved work, the walls of the southern mass,
which were to be vertically extended, proved to be structurally insufficient to
support the load due to rotten load- bearing studs, previously concealed by interior
and exterior sheathing. This unforeseen circumstance led to the unavoidable
demolition of the structurally unsound walls to allow for reconstructed walls
which would adequately support the additional height of this portion of the
dwelling. The overall result of the reconstruction remains unchanged from that
approved in the prior decision. However, the relief granted requires modification
to reflect the partial demolition and reconstruction as it pertains specifically to the
southern mass of the dwelling.
4. The Locus, as shown on plot plan entitled, "Mortgage Plot Plan; Nantucket, MA.;
IA Lily Street ", prepared by J. Marcklinger & Associates, Inc., dated September
17, 2013, a reduced copy of which is attached herewith as "Exhibit A ", is an
undersized lot of record in the Residential Old Historic zoning district. It is pre-
2
existing nonconforming with respect to lot area, having a lot size of 2,619 square
feet where the minimum required lot size is 5,000 square feet, and with respect to
frontage, having 18.65 feet of frontage where fifty (50) feet of frontage is
required. It contains a 516 square foot dwelling with a total ground cover ratio of
about 19.7 %, where 50% is allowed. The dwelling is sited as close as 1.9 feet
from the southwestern side yard lot line, 1.6 feet from the northern side yard lot
line, and 2.2 feet from the easterly rear yard lot line where the required side and
rear yard setbacks are five (5) feet. The premises contain one parking space
where one (1) is required. These nonconformities pre -exist the 1972 adoption of
Nantucket's Zoning By -law.
5. Although the height of the southern mass of the structure would increase within
the required five (5) foot setback area, it would come no closer to the southern
side yard lot line than the existing structure. Therefore, because the proposed
alterations, including demolition and reconstruction of a portion of the southern
mass, will not result in an increase to the pre- existing non - conforming side yard
setback, the Zoning Administrator finds that the proposed work will not increase
the pre- existing nonconforming nature of the Locus.
