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. William R. Sherman, Chairman BOARD OF APPEALS BOARD OF APPEALS TOWN OF NANTUCKET NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554 DECISION: The BOARD OF APPEALS, at a Public Hearing held on FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1985 at 1:30 p.m in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, rendered the following decision in the Application of TWENTY FOUR BROAD STREET /DBA LE LANGUEDOC (042 -85) of 24 Broad Street, Nantucket 02554. 1. Applicant seeks relief by SPECIAL PERMIT to allow interior struc- tural modification of an existing building and altered or intensified use. Relief is asked from the parking requirements of Zoning By -Law SECTION 6B (codified as Section 139 -18) and pursuant to SECTION 7I (codified as Section 139 -33) concerning alteration or expansion of pre- existing non - conforming uses or structures. The property is located at 34 CENTRE STREET, Par- cel 120, Map 42.3.1 in the RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL Zoning District. 2. Through counsel, Applicant claims a pre- existing, non - conforming use of the building with 3 apartments distributed between the first and second floors. The basement is and will be restricted to storage use. Pro- posed interior modification shown on floor.plans of record, would transform the five rooms on each of the first and second floors from use as three apartments into the following: First Floor: one single bedroom apartment plus three guest bedrooms; Second Floor: one single bedroom apartment plus two guest bedrooms. 3. As evidence that two, not three, apartments each limited to one bedroom, along with five new guest bedrooms would not increase actual park- ing demands, the May 22, 1985 letter of Nantucket Accomodations was cited. Short stays in guest rooms, without children and in the face of obstacles to bringing personal autos, are indicated by a 1984 survey as minimizing parking requirements of guests. No contraverting evidence was offered nor survey results for apartment use. ..(042 -85) 1 -2- 4. Under the off - street parking requirements By -Law section, as amended at the April 1985 Annual Town Meeting, Applicant would have to pro- vide 3 parking spaces plus 1 for each 3 guest rental units over 2, plus 1 for each apartment, less three spaces "grandfathered" for the three pre- existing apartments. (Section 139 -18A requires enlargement of a building to bar grandfathering.) By this reckoning, Applicant should provide 3 spaces but cannot physically do so without modifying the historic structure. 5. Criteria for grant of a Special Permit are set and in Section 139- 18 G, as amended by Article 16, April 1985 ATM. Critical is our determina- tion that granting relief would be in harmony with the spirit and purpose of the By -Law chapter. 6. Other favorable letters were received from guest house operators (3), other abuttors (2) plus the Nantucket Chamber of Commerce and Infor- mation Bureau. Besides commending the quality of Applicant's related oper- ations, remarks were to the effect of minimal parking and traffic impact. Opposed on parking grounds were letters from 4 residents of India Street, next south of the locus. At 17 India Street, the Nantucket Hospital Thrift Shop (joined by its Hospital "parent ") cites a previous denial of relief to Applicant's predecessor. Since then, however, the By -Law has been amended to loosen (but not to give up) the parking space requirements. The Planning Board's recommendation was unfavorable on grounds of too dense a use. 7. We remain strongly mindful of the public's parking in Town. Nevertheless, Applicant has met the right to special permit relief and in particular has teration not to be substantially more detrimental to to the contrary, in harmony with the general purpose By -Law chapter as amended. We so find. concern for adequate burden of showing its shown its proposed al- the neighborhood but, and intent of the Zoning 8. By UNANIMOUS vote, the Board GRANTS to Applicant a SPECIAL PERMIT waiving the By -Law requirement for 3 off - street parking spaces conditioned upon Applicant's use of the building as set forth above, specifically with no more than 2 single - bedroom apartments.
