BOARD OF APPEALS
TOWN OF NANTUCKET
NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554
DECISION:
The BOARD OF APPEALS, at a Public Hearing held on FRIDAY, JULY
11, 1986 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, made
the following Decision upon the Application of NANTUCKET ROOST ASSO-
CIATES (046 -86) address c/o Glidden and Glidden, 37 Centre Street,
Nantucket, MA 02554.
1. Applicant appeals from the Decision of the Building Inspector,
being aggrieved by inability to obtain a building permit. Applicant
seeks a building permit for restructuring stairways and partitions of
the "Cliff House" to put two rentable rooms into regular use with
egress provisions complying with the Massachusetts Building Code. The
premises are located at 9 CLIFF ROAD, Assessor's Parcel 42.4.4 -59 and
zoned RESIDENTIAL -1.
2. Our findings are based upon the Application papers, the
record before the Building Inspector here consisting of letters dated
February 11 and March 12, 21 and 27, 1986 (an extra set of the proposed
floor plans enclosed with the 2/11/86 letter being marked to show pro-
posed changes), viewing, and testimony, representations and counsel's
memorandum. This matter was continued from our initial hearing of May
309 1986 to June 27, 1986, then to July 11, 1986, having received
counsel's letter of June 27, 1986 waiving constructive grant rights
until August 1,1986.
3. According to testimony of Mrs. Lynch, Applicant's predecessor,
the first floor of the structure contained the manager's apartment
plus one guest room. On the second floor were 4 guest rooms and , on
the third, 6, for a total of 11. These predated mid -1972 zoning. In
1980, one room on the second floor and one on the third floor were
required, for compliance with the Mass. Building Code (and Fire Code)
il
(046 =86) -2-
to be used as common areas or passages so that the remaining rooms
would have dual egress through common areas or passageways to ground
level for safety. From that time, the guest house was licensed for use
of 9, not 11, rooms.
4. We are told by counsel, however, that the two rooms in ques-
tion were,in fact, used on a spradic basis to meet exceptional over-
flow conditions arising since 1980. AccornWated thus were occasional
overbookings, guests overstaying a reservation, children of guests
and unexpected late -boat arrivals. Beds were available for such uses.
5. Alternatively, Applicant's predecessor might have installed
an exterior staircase (but anticipated opposition to this from the
Historic District Commission), undertaken the partition and stair-
case renovations Applicant here proposes (evidently not thought of),
challenged the 1980 ruling (administratively or in court, e.g., on
grounds set forth in counsel's memorandum for our July 11, 1986 meeting)
or simply conformed to the license limitation. In any event, our record
shows no effort by the Town authorities to enforce the limitation to
9 guest rooms nor any evidence contradicting the asserted continuance
of a sporadic use. On this record, we have no final determination of
illegality nor bad faith in challenging the ruling by non - compliance.
6. Where Applicant asserts that the off - street parking spaces
required by the Zoning By -Law have always been available on the pre-
mises, no question is presented of a claim to grandfathering of any
non - conformity in this respect. Applicant will presumably comply with
the parking requirement corresponding to 11 rental guest rooms.
7. We are persuaded by counsel's memorandum that continuance of
the pre- existing, non- conforming use of the two guest rooms is not
barred by the 1980 ruling. While an open challenge or strict compliance
would be far more commendable, and the Building Inspector properly put
Applicant to a proof of asserted rights under zoning, we are constrained
(046 -86) -3-
to hold for Applicant.
8. Upon motion to reverse the Building Inspector's position in
this matter, the vote of this Board was UNANIMOUS. Accordingly, the
Decision is REVERSED.

Re: No. 9 Cliff Road

In response to your letter of March 21, 1986, I offer the following:
1. The Cliff Lodge owners were told to cease renting
the two rooms in 1980 because guests in the other
rooms had to pass through them to get to the exits
in case of emergency.
2. Mr. and Mrs. Lynch chose not to modify their build-
ing at that time to be able to continue renting
the rooms. For example, they could have done what
is now proposed or they could have made another
kind of modification to meet the Building Code
requirements for proper exits.
3. Therefore use of those two rooms was abandoned in
1980 and the owners now have to go to the Board of
Appeals under Zoning Code 139 -33 to expand a non-
conforming use.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call or

Re: No. 9 Cliff Road, Lodging House
Called "Cliff Lodge"
Dear Mr. Borchert:
We have reviewed your letter of March 12, 1986 (copy
enclosed) in which you state that before a building permit could
issue to convert two "common areas" to rentable rooms in the
Cliff Lodge Guest House, the applicant must obtain a Special
Permit from the Board of Appeals.
As you know, the two "common areas" you refer to were
rentable rooms prior to the enactment of the Nantucket Zoning
By -Law and were used by Mr. and Mrs. Lynch as guest house rooms ;
continuously after the effective date of the Zoning By -Law. In
1980, the guest house license restricted.,the two rooms from use
as guest house rooms because they did not comply with the
Massachusetts Fire Code and /or Building Code. Is it your
position that Mr. and Mrs. Lynch legally abandoned the prior,
non - confirming commercial use of the guest house rooms at issue
based upon the restriction in their guest house license and,
O
Mr. Carl F. Borchert

therefore, such rooms reverted to "common areas "? If so, please
confirm your position in writing to us.
If this is not your position, please clarify in writing why
you have decided that the two guest house rooms are "common
areas."
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Tames Glidd Fsg ire

Dear Messrs. Glidden and Daler
March 12, 1986
Re: No. 9 Cliff Road
Lodging House
Called "Cliff Lodge"
In response to your letter of February 25, 1986, I find that your
application to convert two "common areas" to rooms, in one case
by reversing a stairway from 2nd to 3rd floor, and in the other
case by adding a wall and door on the second floor, constitutes
an expansion of a non- conforming use.
The non - conformity may be parking, use, ground cover, set backs,
etc.
Therefore before I could issue a Building Permit to in effect add
two rentable rooms, you would have to obtain a Special Permit from
the Board of Appeals under Zoning Chapter 139 -33 and maybe other
sections.
It seems like you would be licensed for about 14 rooms and apart-
ment together.
Thank you.
