TOWN OF NANTUCKET
NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554
DECISION:
At a Public Hearing of the BOARD OF APPEALS held on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY
7, 1986 1:30 p.m. and taken UNDER ADVISEMENT and decided at the MARCH 4,
1986 meeting, in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, in the matter of
the Application of RHODA H. WEINMAN (012 -86) address 48 Main Street, Nan-
tucket, MA 02554, the Board enters the following Decision and makes the
following findings:
1. Applicant here appeals from the action or decision of the Building
Inspector dated January 17, 1986 to retain two building permit applications
in the "cap line" where he had placed them pursuant to Zoning By -Law code
SECTION 139 -27C. Such appeal is taken pursuant to SECTION 139 -31.
2. The building permit applications were filed by owner MADAKET
REALTY, INC. ( "MRI ") for Lot 719 and Lot 387 (Land Court Cert. 12,127),
non - adjoining lots on the MADAKET ROAD, in the zoning district RESIDENTIAL -2.
Because the lots are in common ownership, were acted upon jointly by the
Building Inspector in response to Applicant's letter of January 7, 1986,
and involve a commonality of issues, we have proceeded with both in this
single Application.
3. Based upon the Application papers, documents received in the
record, testimony, representations, and briefs by counsel following our
hearing of February 7, 1986, we find that Lot 719 was created by an ANR
subdivision dated 5/14/79; hence, until 5/14/82, use of the premises was
governed by the Zoning By -Law as amended through April 3 and 4, 1979
(or, depending on subdivision date as the By -Law stood prior to any such
1979 amendment)., See Section 8H.6 corresponding to present 5139 -33H. Since
the lot has remained unimproved to this date, its "use" in the R -2 zone is
permitted as "preservation of a lot in its natural condition" (then 54A.e
now 5139 -7A (5)). On 11/6/81, a Declaration of Interval Ownership Covenant
( "Declaration ") was recorded at the Nantucket Registry District for the
(012 -86) -2-
Land Court, executed by the then owner of Lot 719 to which it applied. So
far as we are advised, no termination of that Declaration has been effected.
4. We find that such Declaration did not, itself, constitute a use
of Lot 719 which remained the permitted "preservation of a lot in its
natural state ". Our record shows no implementation of the Declaration, no
undertaking with other parties. The Declaration remained, nonetheless,
evidence of the owner's intent to effect a time - sharing, or time- interval-
ownership ( "Timesharing ") use if and when a dwelling unit or units were
constructed on the lot.
5. By adoption of Article14 effective April 7, 1982 at Annual Town
Meeting by 239 - 8 vote, the definitions section (now Section 139 -2A) was
amended to fist include Time - sharing or Time - Interval - Ownership Dwelling
Unit and to list that defined term in the disjunctive under "Transient
Residential Facilities" with hotels, motels, lodging or guest houses. For
the first time, Time - Sharing Dwelling Units became a permitted use, but
only in the Residential- Commercial district. In the R -2 zone involved here,
that use is not permitted ( §139 -6, 7 and 8). Much is in the record con-
cerning history underlying this amendment and the propriety of characteri-
zing Transient Residential Facilities (time - sharing or time- interval-
ownership dwelling units) as a "use" legally subject to zoning. Whatever
merit there may be in a contention that a lot in its natural state can pro-
perly be subjected to actual time sharing as a constitutionally protected
form of ownership, irrespective of zoning, we are called to apply the Zoning
By -Law as adopted by the Town and, with Attorney General approval, as
amended, concerning Transient Residential Facilities.
6. Pursuant to Section 139 -26A, "No (building or use) permit shall
be issued until such ... use, as proposed, shall comply in all respects
with the provisions of this (zoning) chapter." MRI cannot simply apply
for a permit to build what looks like a single- family residence and then,
in the R -2 zone, commence to use it as a Transient Residential Facility
after construction is completed, which use MRI intended from the start. The
intended use, whether shown on the Building Permit Application or in the
Registry of Deeds, must be a permitted use complying in all respects with
zoning in the given district.
(012 -86) -3-
7. Arguments of MRI based on "grandfathering" of a time - sharing use
and lawful expansion of that (non- conforming) use by construction of a
time - shared dwelling or residence are without merit. Without any actual
time - sharing of the open lot, there can be no use (assuming that would be
a "use "). Mere intent is insufficient to effect a use. Town of Bellerica
v. Quinn, 71NE2d235 (1947) without a pre- existing, non - conforming use,
grandfathering is not properly asserted ( §139 -33A). The argued legality
of expansion of use and abandonment of use has no basis.
8. Counsel for MRI would have us read the Zoning By -Law as if Time -
Sharing Transient Residential Facilities were permitted in every residential
zone if limited to a "dwelling" as distinguished from a multiple "dwelling
unit" use. Or, as put by counsel, MRI proposes to construct a Time - Shared
"dwelling" (presumably as a single- family residence permitted in the R -2
zone) without constructing a "dwelling unit" and thus without the result
constituting a "Transient Residential Facility" barred in R -2. Comparing
the definitions of "dwelling" and "dwelling unit ", such a "dwelling" would
necessarily not include within it a "room or enclosed floor space" ...
"forming a habitable unit for, one (1) family ..." Clearly, MRI strains in
asking consideration of such a misreading. "Dwelling unit" serves in count-
ing units in a single- or multi -unit "dwelling ". "Transient Residential
Facilities" can, by definition, include time - shared dwellings with one
or more dwelling units.
9. Counsel for MRI also argues that Applicant's appeal was not
timely filed (though presumably admitting that her filing January 19, 1986
was less than 30 days following the Building Inspector's letter of January
17, 1986, which first advised her of his decision not to undertake the
"enforcement action" requested in her January 7, 1986 letter). MRI would
have the 30 days run from about 11/6/85 when he put MRI's building permit
in the "building cap" line ( §139 -26D and 27C) for delayed but automatic
issuance about December, 1986..She was not, however, aggrieved by an in-
ability to obtain a permit but to obtain an enforcement action. January 17,
1986 marks that event and starts the 30 -day clock. See Vokes Et Al V.
Lowell, Inc., Mass. App. Ct. 471 (1984). That she truly sought an "enforce-
ment action" is clear from enforcement Section 139 -25 ( "No permit shall be
(012 -86) -4-
granted for a new building - which use would be in violation of this chap-
ter"). Enforcement should not be with ♦held until a certificate of occupancy
is sought, §139 -28 A(1) and (2), as counsel for MRI appeared to argue.
10. What has been written with respect to Lot 719 applies similarly
to Lot 387 ( formerly 848) giving account for its dating from ANR subdi-
vision on 5/14/84 and Declaration dated 10/10/81.
11. Accordingly, this Board by UNANIMOUS vote reverses the 1/17/86
decision of the Building Inspector and directs the Building Inspector (1)
not to grant the corresponding building permits unless and until they are
free of any recital of a Time - Sharing use and Declarations are terminated;
(2) not to retain the applications for such building permits in the "build-
ing cap" line (5139 -27C) unless the respective Declaration of Intent
terminations are effected within fourteen (14) days following the twenty -
day period during which this Decision may be appealed (5139 -31G).

RH ®DA H. WEINMAN
Allorney al Law
January 19, 1986
54 Hancock Street
Lexington, MA 02173
(617) 862 -8017
I have been aggrieved by reason of the Building Inspector's denial of
my request (see attached letter from me to the Building Inspector
dated January 7, 1986 and his letter to me dated January 17, 1986) to
enforce the Zoning By -Laws and remove from the building cap Lots 719
and 387 located on the Madaket Road and owned by Lindsey R. Perry, Jr.
and Madaket Realty Inc. respectively. Both of these lots are located
in the R -2 district. I am an abuttor on both sides of Lot 719 - my
primary residence located on lot 625 abuts Lot 719 as does Lot 720,
which is a vacant lot that I also own. Thus, I am appealing to the
Board of Appeals under Section 139- 29D(b) for the following reasons:
(1) Both lots 719 and 387 have noted on their respective
Certificates of Title a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions of
Interval Ownership. Since the proposed use of interval ownership is
an extension of a pre -- existing, non - conforming use requiring a Special
Permit (see attached letter from Building Inspector's office dated
October 8, 1985) these lots should not be placed under the cap until
there is a public hearing. Since the building of a dwelling dedicated
to interval ownership is a substantial expansion of the non- conformity
and clearly much more detrimental to the neighborhood, the Board
should not grant a special permit under Section 139 -33A.
Additionally, under Section 139- 33(C), the non - conforming use
i.e, interval ownership has been abandoned since it has'been more than
three years since the Declaration of Covenants was filed at the
Nantucket Registry District.
(2) At the Town Meeting held on April 7, 1982, Article 14
relative to ZONING: TIME SHARING as recommended by the Planning Board
was adopted as written (see enclosed certified copy) by a vote of 239
to 8. This article clearly states that interval ownership /time
sharing is to be limited to residential /commercial and limited
commercial areas and that it is clearly prohibited in the R -2
district.
In light of the above, I

Dear Rhoda,

In response to your letter of January 7, 1986, I have obtained a
written opinion from Town Counsel (see enclosed). It is the opinion of
Counsel., that Tots 71.9 and 387 arc, protected under. 1.39 -33, the grand-
father provisions of the zoning by -law and are therefor_ enLiLl.ed to a
building permit wlien their "cap date" arrives.
Acting upon this opinion I have left the applications of Mr. Lindsey
Perry, Jr.. and Mr. Ken L-insey, Madaket Realty Trust, i n the "cap line . "
Permits will be issued when due on December 5, 1986 and December 12, 1986
respectively.
Please be advised that this action of the Building Inspector may be
appealed to the Board of Appeals.
Sincerely,
Carl Borchert

MEMORANDUM FOR BUILDING INSPECTOR
On or about November 6, 1985, I gave you an informal
opinion in .respect of the time sharing of Lot 719 (Land
Court Certificate 12,127) and Lot 387 (Certificate 10,382)
belonging to Lindsey Perry and located on the Madaket
Road. I told you at that time that the zoning by -law did
nest, in my view, embrace time sharing of single family
residences.. In doing so I agreed with an argument made by
Attorney Ted Tillotson. Mr. Tillotson also'argued in the
alternative, that the time - share status of the Lots was
grandfathered because they were time- shared prior to the
change in the zoning by -.law prohibiting them in all zones
except R -C and L -C districts.
. I note that Lots 719 and 387 are located in a
Residential District.
As a result of my opinion and on November 6, 1985, you
put Lots 719 and 387 in the "cap ", that is, in line for
building permits which are now scheduled to issue on
December 5, 1986, as to Lot '719 and December 12, 1986, as
to Lot 387.
Building Inspector
January 16, 198.6
page Two
As a result of further research and in particular based
upon what I regard as the legislative history of the zoning
change as found in the recommendation of the Nantucket
Planning Board (Article 14, Annual Town Meeting 4/7/82), it
is my formal opinion that a single family residence outside
R -C and L -C zones may not be time shared.
The question then becomes: what status do Lots 719 and
387 have, if any. In my opinion time sharing of the real
estate embraces the construction of a time sharing single
family residence on the land. There is no logical cut -off
between the two actions and therefore I view them as one.
The land and its use are protected by the grandfathering
and therefore the lots should continue to have their slot
in the cap.

Dear Carl:
I recently learned that Mr. Lindsey R. Perry, Jr. applied for building permits for
his -lots numbered 719 and 387 located on the Madaket Road. I subsequenC 1_31 l_esrne ci
that despite the letter from your office dated October 8, 1985 advising Mr. ['errs;
that he would have to go to the Board of Appeals because his proposed use of in tee
Val ownership was considered to be an expansion of a non - conforming use requiring;
a special permit, and, additionally, that interval ownership /time sharing is a
prohibited use in the R =2 district, these two lots have since been placed in the
building cap.
I enclose herewith a copy of Article 14 duly certified by Madeline G. Perry, `].'own
Clerk, relative to ZONING: TII`'E SHARING as recommended by the Planning Board and
adopted as written by a vote of 239 to 8 at the Town Meeting held on April 7, 1_982.
This article clearly states that interval ownership /time sharing is to be limited
to residential commercial and - .=i.m :i_ted commercial districts.
Since Mr. Perry's lots numbered 719 and 387 are both located in an area zoned ar.:
R -2, interval ownership/ time sharing is clearly not a permitted use -i_n tli:i.s
Thor.efore, I rospectful.ly roquest that these two -lots he removed From 1--ho rrip i,nr;cri! i
aLely, and that Mr. Perry be notified accordingly.
:I: would like to :further remind you during the month of December, 1985 various
members of the Perry family put on record Declaration of Covenants and Restr:i_cl.i.on :-3
of Interval Ownership on the :following lots owned by them:
