ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Minutes of the Meeting of November 14, 1989
The meeting was opened at 4:00 P. M. for the consideration
of old business with William Sherman, Robert Leichter, Michael
O'Mara, David Leggett, and Linda Williams sitting.
Application 060 -89: Robert & Gayle Greenhill, Hoicks Hollow Road
The hearing was continued to permit the Planning Board time
to clarify its concerns about this application. The Planning
Board's response was to specify the following areas as potential
problems:
Was the access adequate to support the proposed development;
Was an employer dormitory possible when there were already
two dwellings on the lot;
Did "employer dormitories" include housing for personal
domestic employees.
Attorney Philbrick, for the Applicant, stated that the
proposed dormitory was integral to the existing compound, that
there was no kitchen in the dormitory, and that the isolated
location of the property meant that the employees would need cars
to come and go from work unless housing was provided on site.
Williams pointed out that the dormitory did not fit the
usual concept of a "dwelling" in that it had no kitchen.
Ms. Linda Holland, of the Nantucket Land Council, Inc., spoke in
opposition to the allowance of the application on the basis that
the use was not specifically permitted for the area, and that
unless specifically permitted, the use should be prohibited.
Sherman stated that such a use was permitted by special permit,
which is what the applicant was seeking. O'Mara stated that the
site was well over the zoning requirements for the area, would be
impractical to develop intensively, and that the access road was
well - defined, but of limited width. Leggett moved the permit be
granted as requested, and the motion was approved unanimously.
