SIBLEY and JOAN L. SIBLEY (087 -85), at a meeting of the BOARD OF APPEALS held at 1:30 P.M. on Friday, November 8, 1985, at the Town and County Building, Nantucket, the Board enters the following Decision and makes the following findings: 1. This is an application for a SPECIAL PERMIT granting relief from the requirements of Nantucket Code, SECTION 139 -16.A (Intensity Regulations - Ground Cover Ratio) , a portion of the Zoning By -Law, on the basis of expansion of a preexisting nonconforming structure pursuant to SECTION 139 -33. If granted, the Applicants would be permitted to construct an addition to their existing dwelling, which would then exceed the permitted ground cover ratio of 30 %. The subject premises consist of the property approximately shown on Assessor's Map 42.3.1 as Parcel 101, are located at 9 UNION STREET, and are zoned as RESIDENTIAL -OLD HISTORIC. 2. Based upon the application and the materials and testimony presented at the public hearing, the Board finds that the subject premises consist of a parcel of land containing about 3,600 square feet, containingapYe-existing dwelling, which, although a permitted use, is not in conformity with the required setback requirement of five feet from its side boundary along Stone Alley. The present ground cover ratio of the existing structure is 27.40; the proposed addition would increase that ratio to 33.5°x. The Page 1 of 3 permitted ground cover ratio in the district is 40%, but because the lot contains less than 5,000 square feet, the maximum permitted (under Section 139 -16.A, Notes) is 300. 3. This Board finds that the proposed addition (which represents a substantial reduction from the proposal as contained in the original application) will not be substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming structure to the neighborhood in that there will be no significant visibility of the addition from any street or nearby parcels of land. The Applicants' structure is a relatively small, historic house, and the addition will enhance the utility of the living space in the house. Many other nearby parcels contain structures with substantially greater size and ground cover ratios. The Board further finds, for the same reason, that the proposed addition is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Act and the Nantucket Zoning By -Law. 4. The relief granted hereby is upon the condition that the proposed addition shall not increase the ground cover ratio of the subject premises above 33.5%, and that it shall be constructed upon the southerly side of the present structure as shown upon the revised plans submitted to this Board at the continued public hearing. 5. For the reasons and upon the condition set forth, the J3QARD Off' APPEALS hereby GRANTS the Applicants relief from the Zoning By -Law, Nantucket Code, Section 139 -16.A, increasing the permitted ground cover ratio to 33.50, by a SPECIAL PERMIT, by a UNANIMOUS VOTE.

SIBLEY (087 -85), upon request by the Applicants, the Decision of the BOARD OF APPEALS filed on November 22, 1985, granting a Special Permit., is hereby amended and modified as follows: (a) The present ground cover ratio is found to be 26.4°x, and the maximum ground cover for the premises after construction of the proposed addition shall be 34.3 %. (b) The proposed addition should be built in accordance with the revised plan submitted to the Board, a copy of a portion of which, reduced in scale, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
