BOARD OF APPEALS
TOWN OF NANTUCKET
NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554
DECISION:
At a Public Hearing of the BOARD OF APPEALS held on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY
28, 1986 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, in the
matter of the Application of LOIS K. SHAPIRO (024 -86) address 168 Valley
Road, Watchung, NJ 07060, the Board enters the following Decision and makes
the following findings:
1. Applicant seeks a SPECIAL PERMIT under Zoning By -Law SECTION
139 -33A to continue an existing retail store or service use, non - conforming
in not meeting the parking requirements of SECTION 139 -18, and to alter the
use by adding a take -out food establishment, and further seeks a SPECIAL
PERMIT under SECTION 139 -18G affording relief from the parking requirements,
also a VARIANCE from the SECTION 139 -19 requirement of off - street loading
facilities. The premises are located at 18 BROAD STREET, Assessor's Parcel
42.4.2 -32 and zoned RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL.
2. Based upon the Application papers, viewings, correspondence,
testimony and representations, we find that Applicant provides neither off -
street parking nor loading facilities, these being physically impossible
to provide given the existing improvements upon the property. Prior to
zoning, the use of the premises is understood to have been residential.
Since then, a variety of uses have been undertaken: retail stores, real
estate and professional services and in the last two years, take -out food
establishments in the rear of the premises.
3. While alteration of uses, non- confrpming in their failure to
meet the parking requirement, requires prior obtention of a Special Permit,
none was ever sought, much less obtained. Counsel for Applicant stated that
one Building Permit No. 1125 -79 had been issued 5/2/79 and carried a state-
ment of then uses which since 5/2/85 are protected by the 6 -year Statute
of Limitations. That Building Permit was not offered in evidence before
the hearing was closed. Noetheless in fairness to Applicants, we take4judi-
cial notice" of its contents as a matter of public record. (The Building
(024 -86) -2-
Permit No. 4455 -85 of 11/13/85 affords no statutory protection for current
or proposed uses but may have an arguable bearing on any question of good
faith.)
4. Since off - street loading facilities were required in 1979 (Section
6D, now 139 -19), we find that no variance is required, that lack being
protected by the Statute of Limitations. Otherwise, we would be unable to
find all of the requisites to grant the requested variance (139 -32), and
such request would have to be denied.
5. Turning specifically to the matter of off - street parking which
is physically impossible to provide (139 -18G (b)), relief from the parking
requirement would not be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of
the Zoning By -Law. Applicant must, therefore, limit use of the premises to
those for which the total off- street parking space requirement does not
exceed the total grandfathered. We have since early summer 1985, been
consistent in this respect following the urgings of the Board of Selectmen,
Planning Board and Planning and Economic Development Commission. According
to the 1979 Building Permit, the following were the uses then and the
current off - street parking space requirment correspondingly grandfathered:
1st Floor - Windslow
1st and 2nd Floors -
2nd Floor - Beauty Sl
Ground Floor (rear)
3 sets of employees
Co. 256 ± SF = 1
one dwelling unit = 1
16p 298 ± SF = 1
Brant Point Marine 256 SF = 1
3
7 Total
6. We find, therefore, that those proposed retail store and service
uses, and associated number of employees, for which the total parking
space requirement is not greater than 7, being protected by the Statute of
Limitations, are not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood
than prior lawful uses. To the contrary, we find that a take -out food esta-
blishment would be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood. The
By -Law Section 139 -18I mandates 5 spaces for the one take -out seAice station
which Applicant proposes, Plus 1 for each 4 seats in the patio (for which
the proposed number of seats is not of record). This is clearly an unduly

BUILDING, FEDERAL AND BROAD STREETS, NANTUCKET, on the Application

139 -18 and 139 -33A for continued non - conforming use of the existing

second floors and take -out food establishment in first floor rear
and uncovered patio, plus a VARIANCE from off - street loading
