EVANS (064 -84) Enclosed, please find notice of a decision of the BOARD OF APPEALS which has this day been filed with the Town Clerk. Any appeal from this action shall be made pursuant to Section 17 of Chapter 40A of the General Laws, and shall be filed within twenty (20) days after this date. BOARD OF APPEALS William R. Sherman, Acting Chairman TOWN OF NANTUCKET BOARD OF APPEALS NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554 DECISION: At a Meeting of the BOARD OF APPEALS held on November 2, 1984 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, the Board made the following decision in the Application of BRUCE E. EVANS AND JILL M. EVANS (064 -84), address One Thurstons Way, Nan- tucket: 1. This is an Application for a VARIANCE under Zoning By -Law SECTION 139 -16 (formerly 5), intensity regulations, PARAGRAPH A, ground cover ratio. If granted, Applicants would be able to build a detached garage and so exceed the 1500 square feet ground cover max- imum permitted them in the RESIDENTIAL -2 District. The premises are located at ONE THURSTONS WAY, LOT 239 TAX MAP 66, PARCEL 31. 2. From a review of the Application, testimony, representations and maps and plans submitted, the Board finds that the garage, as pro- posed, together with the existing 2 bedroom house, would have a ground cover of 1740 sq. ft. When the house was purchased in 1979, it was zoned for a minimum 5,000 sq. ft.lot size, it has been rezoned since then to 20,000 sq. ft. The lot, at a corner, is 10, 208 sq. ft.; is of a generally trapezoidal shape, with a driveway from Thurstons Way ex- tending too close to the rear lot line for a garage to be sited at its end. The house lacks basement, attic or like storage as well as any l laundry space. The heating apparatus is also located in the kitchen due to the lack of space. 3. Applicants' proposed garage, according to HDC- approved drawings, consists of a 24' by 26' principal space plus a 6' by 10' laundry space, together with the deck, steps etc., not of concern in determining ground cover ratio (139 -2). After continuances to Nov- ember 2, 1984, the Applicants undertook to limit the added cover to 24' by 26', or 624 sq. ft., sufficient for their vehicle and miscel- laneous storage requirements plus toilet space. Applicants, represented (064 -84) -2- By their attorney, affirmed that no living space (dwelling unit) was intended or asked for. 4. The Planning Board recommendation was favorable. No abutter or other objection was received. 5. The shape of the lot and the size and placement of the house relative to the road intersection corner are circumstances unique to Applicants' lot, not affecting, generally, the R -2 Zoning District. A literal enforcement of the 1500 sq. ft. maximum ground cover would in- volve substantial hardship and likely encourage unsightly outdoor ex- posure of items otherwise to be stored in the garage. 6. Accordingly, the Board, by UNANIMOUS vote, GRANTS the re- quested VARIANCE limited, however, to an added 624 sq. ft. for a total 1680 sq. ft. of ground cover. Such relief is granted without substantial detriment to the Public Good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent and purpose of said By -Law.
