KILLEN (041 -86) 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. �Cl William R. Sherman, Chairman BOARD OF APPEALS BOARD OF APPEALS TOWN OF NANTUCKET NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554 DECISION: At a Public Hearing of the BOARD OF APPEALS held on FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1986 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, in the matter of the Application of ANN S. KILLEN (041 -86), address Easy Street, Nantucket, MA 02554, the Board enters the following Decision and makes the following findings: 1. Applicant seeks a SPECIAL PERMIT under Zoning By -Law SECTION 139 -18G for relief from the parking requirements arising from a new retail use. The premises are located at ONE OLD NORTH WHARF AT THE EASY STREET CORNER, in the RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL zoning district. 2. Based upon the Application papers and viewing, correspondence, testimony and representations, we find that Applicant has leased the premises to Barbara Irion dba the Nantucket Woolgatherer. Not more than 400 SF will be used in the retailing of knitted woolen items. She will be producing such items as a customary home occupation, the remaining area of this small cottage serving as her single - family dwelling. There will be no retail shop employees. 3. The off - street parking requirement for the proposed retail store use is, accordingly, 2 spaces and presumably no greater as a custom- ary home occupation per Section 139 -18J. Relief requires our finding (a) that the granting of such releif is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the Zoning By -Law, and (b) that the required park- ing spaces are physically impossible to provide, otherwise would have a significant and adverse effect on the scenic and historic integrity of the neighborhood. The parking space for the dwelling is provided on Old North Wharf but, if not actually available off the lot of Applicant, the requirement is met by grandfathering. 4. The two spaces for retail purposes cannot both be provided on the premises and even one would mar the settled scenic environment of this historic area. We therefore make finding (b). (041 -86) -2- 5. As Applicant notes in her letter of April 21, 1986, traffic has increased and heavy vehicles have been re- routed on Easy Street. But, contrary to her assertion, a custom has not been established to waive parking requirements in the older buildings in the center of Town. To the contrary. We are persuaded to make finding (a), then, only upon imposition of the following conditions: A. The Special Permit shall be personal to Barbara Irion, leasee we are told under a 5 -year lease with right of _1 - renewal. B. Use shall be restricted to her retail sale of knitted woolen goods and related production of such goods in the nature of a customary home occupation. C. No employees shall work on the premises. 6. Testimony supported the very limited occasions that patrons of the Nantucket Woolgatherer would need parking; rather, they customarily come by foot as tourists or incidental to other in -town activity. A use more intensive in its impact on parking or traffic could not be condoned on Easy Street without strict zoning compliance. 7. Accordingly, having made the requisite findings, the Board by UNANIMOUS vote GRANTS to Applicant the requested SPECIAL PERMIT under SECTION 139 -18G upon the three conditions A -C noted above.

BOARD'S DECISION 1 Application submitted to Board �0 Advertising dates Hearing date(s) Decision of Board Decision filed with the Town Clerk This application to the Board of Appeals for the waiver of three parking spaces by Ann Killen for her 1 Old North Wharf house is based on the small size and type of business to operate there and the desire to keep one of the last vestiges of green space in this section in tact. The 'Nantucket Woolgatherer', a yarn shop which was previously on Centre Street, will be operating in just under 400 square feet of actual retail space (half the size of the former shop space) with the owner as sole year round employee.
