Sherman, Chairman cc: Building Commissioner Planning Board Town Clerk NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS NANTUCKET, MA 02554 At a public hearing on Friday, February 10, 1989, at 1:00 p.m. in the Town and County Building, Nantucket, on the Application (004 -89) of RICHARD GREEN and DENISON BUCKLEY having an address at Box 354, Siasconset, MA 02564, the Nantucket zoning Board of Appeals made the following DECISION: 1. Applicants seek a Special Permit under Section 139 -33A of the zoning Bylaw to alter and extend three nonconforming structures, combining them into one single - family dwelling with ground cover increased by 181 SF to 1,518 SF on their 3,606 SF lot. The premises are at 19 Bank Street, Codfish Park, Siasconset, Assessor's Parcel 73.1.3 -060, Plan Book 303, Page 14, zoned Residential -1. 2. Our findings are based upon the Aplication papers including ANR plan of the lot and a 3 -sheet set of drawings (our Exhibit "A") showing proposed alterations on a site plan, floor plans and elevations, also correspondence and representations and testimony received at our hearing. 3. Applicants' lot was created, or its bounds clarified, by 11/13/87 Planning Board endorsement of a plan of the land "approval under the Subdivision Control Law not required ". As shown on that plan, their lot is a corner lot on Bank Street between Jackson Street to the south and Jefferson Street to the north. As noted during the hearing, the very densely settled Codfish Park is subject to a Town claim of paramount title. We act upon this request for relief, therefore, upon Applicants' representation of ownership, without attempting to resolve any title issue. 4. On the lot now are two single- story, single- family dwellings, a garage /shed and a small storage shed. Only the main dwelling is sited outside the required setbacks. The two dwellings are nonconforming in their relative placement. Each of the buildings is represented as pre- dating 1972 zoning; hence, relief by Special Permit under Section 139 -33A is appropriate. 5. Applicants propose to link up the main dwelling with the little house by 38 -SF connector and with the garage by 95 -SF connector. These with a proposed lean -to type 48 -SF greenhouse off the kitchen, make up the 181 -SF total of added ground cover. Ground cover ratio will be increased File No. 004 -89 from 37% to 42 %, a ratio of 30% being allowed. A partial second floor is to be added to the main house. Of the added structure, only the little -house connector will extend into a setback, but here the extension is less than setback intrusion of the existing little house. One off - street parking space will be added. 6. Neighbors who expressed their views were supportive of Applicants' proposed upgrading of the premises. No opposition was heard. We find that the alterations will not be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood. Rather, the relief asked will be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the zoning Bylaw. 7. Accordingly, by unanimous vote, this Board grants to Applicants the requested Special Permit under Section 139 -33A to combine the two dwellings and the garage into a single - family dwelling in substantial conformity with Exhibit "A ".

The 4 buildings on the 3,606 SF lot are sited within the required front, side or rear yard setbacks. The only new construction proposed within a setback is the connecting portion between the dwellings, but its intrusion is to a lesser extent. In connecting the 3 buildings to form one larger single - family dwelling (a portion of which will be 2- story), the present 1,337 SF ground cover (37% GCR) will be increased by 181 SF to 1,518 SF (42% GCR), 30% being the allowable ground cover ratio. Relief by Variance from Section 139 -16A is also requested to the extent it may be needed to validate the premises with the proposed changes. The premises are at 19 Bank Street, Codfish Park, Siasconset, Assessor's Parcel 73.1.3 -060, Plan Book 303, Page 14, zoned Residential -1. i William R.

We are a family of five and have been living in the house in Codfish Park for 13 years.We have finally been able to purchase the property and now wish to expand our use of the existing buildings. Until now we have been using the central building as our dwelling, with the three children sleeping together in the larger room at the front, the two adults in the smaller one, with living and eating in the kitchen. The garage we use for the washer /dryer, play area,closets and storage.The smaller building to the South was rented by the owner to someone else. Now we would like to change the property as showm on the accompanying plans to provide separate bedrooms for the family members. There would be a bedroom and sitting area for the parents in the small Southerly portion, now connected as shown to the central portion, which contains living and dining areas where the bedrooms were, and a small room each for the girls with a shared bathroom upstairs. The kitchen remains where it is, with a greenhouse added on the South side to provide solar gain in the winter and to accomodate our love of plants and gardening. The kitchen would connect via a breakfast area cum entrance area to the Northerly portion, which would provide storage at the front, a room for our son in the middle, and a laundry and bathroom at the rear. The passageway on the South side also acts as a solar green- house with its' glass doors. I have designed these improvements very carefully in order to solve our problems of space with a minimum of additional ground cover and impact on the neighbourhood, keeping everything as low and compact as possible consistant. with the Building Code. Page 2 As I say, we have been living here inthis house for 13 years, our children are growing up here; it is our home, not a spec. house, vacation house or investment property. We love our neighbourhood and wish to preserve its' unique character, and we feel that the changes presented here will be an improvement to the neighbourhood, and will have no negative impact whatsoever on any of our neighbours. Thank you for your consideration, Yours sincerely, -,c, ",\ 11-� Richard Green.
