BOARD OF NANTUCKET TOWN OF NANTUCKET NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS 02554 DECISION: The BOARD OF APPEALS, at a Public Hearing held on FRIDAY, SEPTEM- BER 51 1986 at 1:30 p.m. in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, made the following Decision on the Application of NANCY A. MORRIS, OWNER FOR HERSELF AND BRUCE N. AND PAMELA K. HARRIS (CONTRACT PURCHASERS) (099 -86) of 14 Atlantic Avenue, Nantucket, MA 02554. 1. Applicant seek a VARIANCE from the 12 -foot spacing requirement between primary and secondary dwellings, zoning code SECTION 139 -7A (3). She also seeks a SPECIAL PERMIT pursuant to SECTION 139 -33A to alter and expand an existing non - conforming commercial building into a residential garage- apartment having an added second floor. The premises are located at 14 ATLANTIC AVENUE, Assessor's Parcels 55 -22 and 23 and zoned RESIDENTIAL -1. 2. Our findings are based upon the Application papers and viewings and HDC map and plans, Applicants' written statement of 9/3/86, testimony and representations received at our hearing. From these,it appears that Applicant proposes to sell Parcel 55 -22 (Lot 1) together with 22 (Lot 2). For tax purposes,.the lots are now treated as merged with 0.33 A area. The lots (or at least Lot 1) would be converted from a non - conforming commercial (plus conforming single - dwelling) use to residential use with secondary dwelling as well as primary single - family residence. The com- mercial building (garage /office and garage /shop of one -story each having a common side wall) would apparently be razed-and replaced by the 1 1/2 to 2 -story secondary dwelling within the same footprint and with centrally placed single -car garage. 3. In favor of relief, the commercial use in this residential district would be abandoned. The non - conforming rear of the building, said to be between 16" and 18" of the rear lot line, would not become even closer, i.e., not more non - conforming as to setback distance. Five feet is the minimum required in R -1. The building design is said to have (099 -86) -2- approval of the Historic District Commission. The Planning Board's recommendation was favorable with no reasons stated. 4. On the other side, the nearest abutter was strongly opposed to a residential (or otherwise active) use so proximate her backyard, also to prospective noise and intrusion upon privacy and blockage of her air and light by the added height and mass of the proposed dwelling. Her prevailing winds and sunset are from that direction. S. Additionally, we have had a firm policy of requiring the 12 -foot spacing front -to -rear between primary and secondary dwellings. Applicant offered no -tenable reason for an exception here. The building is appropri- ately usable as a residential garage and storage shed in conformity with zoning. No basis was laid for our making the findings required for a variance, e.g., uniqueness in the R -1 district, hardship ­, nor compati- bility with the public good, intent and purpose of the zoning provision. 6. Applicant's proposed structural expansion so close to her rear lot line is clearly more detrimental to the neighborhood as is the proposed intensified use. We are unable to find the required harmony with the purposes (e.g., lessening danger of congestion) and intent of the zoning chapter. 7. Accordingly, upon motion to grant the relief requested, this Board voted UNANIMOUSLY, in the NEGATIVE. Relief is DENIED. Dated: September 26, 1986 Nantucket, MA 02554 e � William R. Sher Dorothy D.
