DECISION:
The BOARD OF APPEALS, at Public Hearing held on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY
5, 1988 at 1:30 p.m.in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, made the
following decision dpon the Application of JOHN MAURY AND THERESA MAURY
(006 -88) address c/o Glidden and Glidden, 37 Centre Street, Nantucket,
MA 02554.
1. Applicants seek a SPECIAL PERMIT pursuant to SECTION 139 -33A
of the Zoning By -Law to alter and extend their existing commercial
building and its use, without reaching the level of a Major Commercial
Development ( "MCD "). Relief by VARIANCES, and SPECIAL PERMIT pursuant to
SECTION 139 -18E, is also sought to allow the required off - street loading
area and 12 parking spaces to be located on-the lot and partly on an
abutting lot, having less than full dimentiohal conformity with Sections
139 -19 and -18. A SPECIAL PERMIT under SECTIONS 139- 9B(3)(a), (b) and (c)
is also sought to the extent necessary to allow a tradesman's shop in
the building.
2. The premi; es are located at 5 WINDY WAY, Assessor's Parcel
67- 118.2, Plan Book 20, Page 65, Lot 6 and zoned RESIDENTIAL - COMMERCIAL -2.
The abutting lot upon which 7 of the parking spaces are to be located
is owned, by Applicants' son,Chri,stopher L. Mauryjand is at 3 Windy Way,
Assessor's Parcel 67- 118.3, Plan Book 20, Page 65, Lot 7. See Maury
Special Permit 069 -87 dated 6/12/87, as revised 7/17/87.
3. Our notice of the relief sought differed from that as46d ;in
the Application diapers, on the basis of a 1/11/88 telephone conversation
with Applicant,Theresa Maury,by omitting reference to a commercial office
area on the second floor. Such omission was understood to be necessary
to keep the propsed ddvelopment below the 4000 SF MCD threshold, Section
139- 9B(4)(a)[1][b). Applicants assume the risk for adequacy of notice to
suppprt;.the relief given.
4. Our findings are based upon the Application papers, viewing and
(006 -8'8) -2-
plans, representations and testimony received at our hearings of 1/29 and
2/5/88, including site and floor plans marked "Exhibit A ".
5. At the time in 1982 when Applicants' building was constructed
per Building Permit 2265 -82, the subdivision zoning freeze-per Section
139 -33G still applied to the premises. With expiration of the freeze,
zoning has gone from RC to RC -2 and the development became subject to the
MCD regulation, as well as the uses -by- exception By -Law Section 139- 9B(3).
Pre - existing non - conformities accordingly include intrusion into the
20 -foot front yard, MCD status of the warehouse use exceeding 4000 SF
of gross floor areayless than 100 -foot spacing of driveways and lack of
the Section 139- 9B(3)(b) Special Permit for the warehouse use. With
discontinuance of Appli.dants' Emporium business on Main Street, they pro-
pose conversion-of the building to three new uses. Because the present
MCD will no longer be an MCD with these uses, this Board and not the
Planning Board, has jurisdiction.
6. On the second floor (top), a two - apartment duplex will use 1800
SF, and the 400 SF gross floor area balance will serve for an office an-
cillary to the first -floor tradesman shop use (825 SF)of gross floor
area).,Tha balance of the first floor (1862 SF of gross floor area) is
for 6ffice use,;namely, a surveyor's office. Ancillary to that office
is 464 SF of commercial storage area in the basement. The basement also
accommodates 403 SF of interior vehicle parking area (not for Section
139- 9B(3)(g) storage) and the remainder, mechanical building equipment
and owners' personal storage, not ancillary to any commercial use. Total
gross floor area of commercial use will then be 3551 SF, i.e., below the
MCD 4000 SF lelvel. Applicants will conform with Section 139 -20A barring
noxious incidents to the proposed uses.
7. Applicants undertake thatifor such uses, only 12 parking spaces
are requiied,l and so no waiver is asked. Relief here and the permit from
the Building Commissioner will necessarily reflect this. Seven of the
spaces are on the abutting 3 Windy Way lot, as shown on Exhibit "A" (site
plan revised 2/5/88). They can be accommodated on {hat lot, we are told,
without zoning non - conformity, open area to remain at least 20 % and com-
pliance with the Section 139 -18F screening requirements for both lots
to be maintained. An easement for such Section 139 -18E parking will be
(006 -88) -3-
made of record in the Registry of Deeds against title to Lot 7 in support
of the requested Special Permit relief. Given the constraints of building
topography on these lots and hardship, we make the necessary findings for
variance from Section 139 -18C as to the full 24 -foot aisle width to
allow 20 feet behind the seven space§.
8. For Section 139 -19 off - street loading area, Applicants under-
take to maintain the interior parking area to receive trucks of less than
12 -foot width, larger trucks to be off - loaded in the westerly parking lot
aisle. To the extent the interior space is below the Section 139 -19C
requirements, we make the necessary findings for variance relief.
9. In addition to the above -noted undertakings, Applicants will
subject one of the second -floor apartments to the conditions for year -
round occupancy set forth in Section 139 -7C(g) (there applicable to
Accessory Apartments). Fdrther to insure that the relief sought will be
in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the zoning chapter,
and not substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood, we specify
the following conditions:
(1) the Section 139 -18E recorded easement for the 7 parking
spaces on Lot 7 will remain effective for the benefit of Applicants'
Lot 6; otherwise;the relief granted here shall lapse;
(2) the 403 SF interior basement parking area shall be for
ancillary loading and parking and not any commercial use;
(3) the 464 SF of commercial basement area shall be used only
for storage ancillary to the 1862 SF office area use on the first floor;
(4) the 400 SF of second -floor commercial office area shall
be used only ancillary to the 825 SF tradesman's shop area on the first
floor;
(5) 12 parking spaces shall be provided in substantial con-
formity to the Exhibit "A" site plan;
(006 -88) -4-
(6) vegetative screening shall be provided between the ease-
ment parking spaces and the 3 Lot 7 spaces (otherwise screening to be
per Section 139 -18F (1)(b) and (d) and as shown on-the Exhibit "A" site
plan);
(7) at least 20'/,,open area will be maintained on Lot 6 (Lot
7 per Section 139 -bf) ; and
(8) ground cover will not be increased except for the proposed
handicapped -- access ramp.
10. Based upon the foregoing findings, undertakings and listed
conditions, and with no opposition heard, this Board QRANTS to Applicants
by UNANIMOUS vote the requested SPECIAL PERMIT under SECTIONS 139 -33A,
139- 9B(3)(d), (b) and (c), and 139 -18E and VARIANCES from SECTIONS 139 -18C
and 139 -19C to the extent and for the alterations set forth above and
substantially conforming with Exhibit "A ".
