DECISION:
The BOARD OF APPEALS, at a Public Hearing held on FRIDAY, SEPTEM-
BER 5, 1986 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town and County Building, Nantucket,
made the following Decision upon the Application of AILEEN L. BARTH
(084 -86) of 12 West York Lane, Nantucket, MA 02554.
1. Applicant seeks relief by VARIANCE (a) from Zoning By -Law
SECTION 139 -8A(3) to allow construction of a duplex dwelling with access
to the two dwelling units by way of a common entry door at the side
rather than street front of the building, and (b) from SECTION 139 -18
and specifically 181 requiring at least one parking space for a proposed
office (in addition to the two off - street parking spaces which Applicant
is to provide for the two dwelling units of the duplex). The premises are
located at 12 WEST YORK LANE, Assessor's Parcel 55 -9.1, Lot 1. Plan Book
22 at Page 12, and zoned RESIDENTIAL -1.
2. Our findings are based upon the Application papers, correspond-
ence and viewings, and testimony at our hearing attended by about 15
neighbors and parties in interest.
3. Considering first the request for a Variance with respect to
entry door, Applicant would construct a duplex having a front facade with
formal entry door. That, however, provides access to only one (the "pri-
mary") dwelling unit. Because parking is down -slope at the rear of the
duplex, she would locate the common door on the north side, readily
reached by walking up (or down from the street) via the driveway. The
overall effect with these entry doors is outwardly comparable to 9-single-
family residence and thus consistent with intent and purpose of this
zoning provision. The Planning Board's recommendation was favorable, and
no opposition was heard.
4. Accordingly, we are able to make the requisite findings, namely,
that the front door relief sought may be granted without substantial
detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially
derogating from the intent or purpose of the By -Law provisions. Owing to
(084 -86) -2-
the topography not generally affecting the R -1 district, literal enforce-
ment of the common front door requirement would involve substantial
hardship, practical and to some extent financial.
5. Variance relief for a third off - street parking space is not
based upon such a hardship but rather Applicant's election to install her
168 SF architectural office or studio within her primary dwelling unit.
Such an office would be permitted if limited to a "Customary Home Occu-
pation". Sections 139 -2 (definition) and 139 -7A(4) with 8A(1). Paragraph
(1) of the definition limits such occupation to an activity conducted
within a single - family dwelling. We find no provision permitting such
occupations in duplexes. Nonetheless, at the hearing we considered the
requested parking relief for one space on its merits. Applicant does not
have an occupancy permit for the proposed office, the duplex still being
under construction.
6. Applicant argued that her architectural clients could readily
park in the entry driveway and not on West York Lane where on- street
parking is legally prohibited. They were said to come infrequently and
for relatively brief periods. Provision of a legally adequate third
off - street space was physically difficult, if not impossible, due to
topography and her siting of her sizable duplex on this 5042 SF lot.
7. Neighbors opposed introduction of the commercial activity and
cited severe difficulties with on- street parking and their problems with
having the parking ban enforced. The Assistant Fire Chief noted that West
York Lane narrowed to about 15 feet. Any parking would dangerously block
fire and ambulance vehicles. The Planning Board's recommendation on this
part of the Application was unfavorable..
8. We are unable to find the requisite hardship in Applicant's
proposal to have an office as well as two dwelling units on this small
residential lot and yet provide only two off - street parking spaces.
Relief would be detrimental to publc safety and convenience in the use of
West York Lane and contrary to the intent and purpose of the parking
(084 -86)
-3-
provisions. Denial of relief if consistent with our recent decisions.
9. Accordingly, by UNANIMOUS vote of this Board, VARIANCE relief
(a) for common side entry door (with oneunit front door) was GRANTED and
(b) for the third parking space required by proposed office use was
DENIED.
