Plan No. 2015 -55
DECISION:
1. Upon review of the Application submitted by the Applicant, the Zoning
Administrator determined pursuant to Nantucket Zoning By -Law Section 139 -
33.A(1)(b) that the proposed alteration to and partial demolition of the pre-
existing, nonconforming structure on the pre- existing nonconforming lot will
reduce the nonconformities of the structure, will not increase the nonconforming
nature of the structure or the lot, and will not create any new nonconformities.
2. The Applicant proposes to demolish 394 square feet of the approximately 594
square foot pre- existing nonconforming garage /shed, while retaining a said to be
historic 200 square foot portion of said structure. As so altered, the remaining 200
square foot structure will serve as a shed and will remain sited no closer than
three (3.0) feet from the westerly and southwesterly lot lines than the existing
nonconforming structure, all in accordance with Certificates of Appropriateness
No.s 64069 and 65444 issued by the Nantucket Historic District Commission, as
the same may be amended from time to time.
3. The Locus is nonconforming as to lot area, containing approximately 13,260
square feet in the Residential 20 (R -20) zoning district which requires a minimum
lot area of 20,000 square feet. The lot is a pre - existing nonconforming lot
pursuant to Zoning By -law Section 139- 33.A(3), having been created pursuant to
Massachusetts Generat Laws ( "M.G.L. ") Chapter 41, Section 81P, based upon the
exception in the clause of M.G.L. Chapter 41, Section 8 1 L for lots containing two
or more structures that predate the local adoption of subdivision control in the
Town of Nantucket.
4. The subject garage /shed structure on the Locus is pre- existing nonconforming as
to side yard setbacks, being as close as approximately three (3) feet to the west
and southwest side yard lot lines, where a ten (10) foot side yard setback distance
is required. As proposed, the downsized structure will continue to encroach into
said side yard setbacks but will come no closer than the existing distances to the
lot lines. The removal of the larger northern section of the building will reduce the
massing within the ten (10) foot westerly side yard setback, thus decreasing the
nonconformity.

5. A new 1,637 square foot dwelling will be built on the southern part of the Locus.
This dwelling will be dimensionally compliant and does not require relief.
Pursuant to the definition of Ground Cover in Section 139 -2 of the By -Law, the
altered 200 square foot accessory detached shed will not contribute to ground
cover. Therefore, the Locus, with the proposed dwelling, will have a conforming
ground cover ratio of approximately 12.4% where 12.5% is allowed.
6. Based upon the submitted site plans showing both existing and proposed
conditions on the Locus, the Zoning Administrator finds that the proposed work
will decrease the massing of the nonconforming structure within the westerly side
yard setback area, will not increase the nonconforming nature of the lot or
structure, and will not create any new nonconformities and hereby issues the
permit as requested.
