At a Public Hearing of the NANTUCKET ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS,
held on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1995, at 1:00 P.M., in the Selectmen's
Meeting Room, Town and County Building, Broad Street, Nantucket, MA,
on the Application of PHILLIP M. JEKANOWSKI AND ELIZABETH D. COLLIER*
of 3 Pond Drive, Nantucket, MA 02554, Board of Appeals File No _
056 -95, the Board made the following Decision: 4t &e. C> l
1. Applicants request a FINDING that a garage structure is
protected from enforcement action pursuant to M.G.L. ch 40A, §7 and
further seek relief by VARIANCE pursuant to Zoning By -Law- §139 -32
from the requirements of Zoning By -Law §139 -16A (Intensity
Regulations - front yard setback). Applicants propose to construct a
secondary single- family dwelling unit within an existing garage
structure that is sited 12+ feet from the front yard lot line in a
district that requires a minimum front yard setback of 30 feet.
The premises is located at 3 POND DRIVE, Assessor's Map 56,
Parcel 151.1, Land Court Plan 14870 -7, Lot 132. The property is zoned
Residential -2.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and materials
submitted with it, and testimony and evidence presented at the
Hearing. The Planning Board made an unfavorable recommendation. There
were two (2) letters and one (1) petition, signed by five (5)
abutters, on file supporting the proposed conversion of the second
floor of the garage into a dwelling unit. The Building Commissioner
also spoke in favor of the grant of relief.
3. The Applicants purchased this property in 1986 when there was
one (1) structure located on it, the subject garage, which was built
in 1980. At the time of construction of the garage the Locus had been
part of a larger lot and considered a use ancillary to the single
family dwelling and office contained therein. In 1984 the predecessor
in title subdivided the property into Lot 132 (the "Locus ") which
contained the garage and Lot 133 which contained the dwelling and
office. Lot 132 then measured its frontage along Pond Drive and Lot
133 maintained Hussey Farm Road as its frontage. When the two (2) lots
had been considered as one (1) the Lot met front yard setback
requirements from Hussey Farm Road and further, met the 10 -foot side
yard setback requirement for the garage from Pond Drive. When the Lots
were subdivided, the lot with the garage on it became non - complying as
to front yard setback being sited 12 feet from its front yard lot line
as measured from Pond Drive rather than the required 30 feet.
vi
0'71'70'7
However, no enforcement action was ever taken and the garage has
remained in the same location from the date of the 1984 subdivision
until the present. Applicants subsequently received a Building Permit
and Certificate of Occupancy to construct a single family dwelling at
the rear of the Lot that met all dimensional requirements and in 1990
received a Building Permit to construct a deck onto the house.
Applicants now propose to renovate the two -car garage
structure and convert second floor space into a garage apartment.
There would be no increase in the footprint of the structure and any
additions that will be made to accommodate exterior stairway access
and placement of shed dormers on the structure would be made outside
of the 30 -foot setback area. Applicants would be allowed to convert
said space and have a secondary dwelling unit on the premises as a
matter of right were the garage sited outside of the setback area. Any
alteration to a non - complying structure would have to be made by
Variance.
Applicants represent that moving the structure would be
difficult and cause extreme financial difficulty, costing several
thousand dollars. The placement of the existing septic system and
leaching field would severely hamper relocation to a point outside of
the required setbacks while still maintaining the required 12 -foot
distance from the principal dwelling. Applicants stated that the
nearest abutter, at 5 Pond Drive, preferred that the garage remain in
its present location to minimize infringement on his privacy which
would occur should the garage be relocated. The abutter at 10 Hussey
Farm Road also expressed the same concern and preference. However,
both supported the addition of the garage apartment. It was also noted
that Applicants had been before this Board in 1986 (BOA File No.
132 -86) asking for similar relief but the Application was withdrawn
without prejudice.
4. The Board finds that the garage structure is protected by the
10 -year curative statute from any enforcement action. The Board
further finds that due to the facts as presented in this case, and the
overwhelming neighborhood support for the proposal, and owing to the
unique location of the structure and difficulty relocating it,
conditions especially affecting the Locus but not affecting generally
the zoning district in which the Locus is situated, a literal
enforcement of the provisions of the By -Law would involve substantial
hardship, financial and otherwise, to the Applicants (in that they had
purchased a lot in good faith with a non - complying structure on it)
and the desirable relief 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.
5. Accordingly, by a vote of four (4) in favor (O'Mara, Williams,
Leichter and Waine) and one (1) abstaining (Batas), the Board GRANTS
the requested relief by VARIANCE under zoning By- Law. §139 -16A to
allow conversion of the second floor garage space into a secondary
dwelling unit and further makes the finding that the garage structure
is protected from enforcement action by the curative statute subject
w
071'7'07
to the following conditions:
a. The apartment shall be limited to year -round occupancy;
and
b. The footprint of the garage structure shall remain
substantially unchanged, and that any additions to allow for second
floor access and dormers shall be made outside of the 30 -foot setback
area.

Lot 132, C.O.T. No. 20,876
At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals, on Friday, December 12,
2003 at 1:00 P.M., in the Conference Room, in the Town Annex Building, 37 Washington Street,
Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the following Decision on the Application of DAVID
CLOUGH AND JANE B. CLOUGH, do Vaughan, Dale and Hunter, P.C., Whaler's Lane, P.O.
Boa 659, Nantucket, MA 02554, on Board of Appeals File No. 087 -03;
Applicants are seeking a MODIFICATION of previously granted VARIANCE
relief in the Decision in Board of Appeals File No. 056-95 that allowed the construction Lion of a
second floor over an existing garage structure to provide a secondary dwelling. The garage was
sited within the required 30 -foot front yard setback area in 1980. Applicants are now proposing
to expand the living space into the first floor area of the garage space, while maintaining a single
garage space. Entry steps added on the westerly side of the structure within the required 30 -foot
setback area would be removed and access would be provided outside of the 30 -foot setback
area. The Premises is located at 3 POND ROAD, Assessor's Map 56, Parcel 151.1, Land Court
Plan 14830 -7, Lot 132. The property is zone Residential -2.
2. The Decision is based upon the Application and materials submitted with it and
testimony and evidence presented at the Public Hearing. The Planning Board made no
recommendation in this matter as the matter was not of planning concern Thee was one letter
in support of the Application presented at the Public Hearing.
Applicants, through counsel, represented that the Locus was a portion of a bigger
corner lot that had been subdivided into two parcels in 1984. Upon subdivision newly created
Lot No. 133, abutting the Locus to the east, was benefited by and subject to a font yard setback
taken from Hussey Farm Road and side yard setback from Pond Road. However, upon
subdivision, newly created Lot 132, the Locus, which until then had been subject to a ten -foot
side yard setback, now took frontage off of Pond Road and was therefore benefited by and
C►UO`r., ?�l
106203
subject to the thirty- foot front yard setback required in the zoning district. Consequently, the
subdivision left the Loans with a garage, originally sited outside of the tea -foot side yard setback
prior to subdivision, now sited within the thirty-foot front yard setback area
Applicants explained that in 1995 Applicants' predecessors--in-interest applied to
the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals for a Variance to ratify the siting of the existing
nonconforming garage within the thirty -foot front yard setback area and for permission to
convert the second floor of the garage into a secondary dwelling. The Board in the Decision in
BOA File No. 056 -95 granted the requested relief provided that there was no expansion of the
footprint within said setback area and that the apartment be limited to year -round occupancy
4. Applicants are now requesting a Modification to that Variance to include the
highlighted portion of the following text: "...conversion of the second floor garage space U wen
as a oortious of the first Boor == spgee into a secondary dwelling." Applicants stated that
the planned conversion of a portion of the first floor garage space would include living area as
well as kitchen facilities, while leaving one conforming parking bay for use as a garage on the
first floor. There would be no expansion of the footprint or any further intrusion into the required
30 -foot front yard setback area.
S. Therefore. based upon the foregoing, the Board finds that the requested
Modification of the conditions in the Variance granted in the Decision in BOA File No. 056-95
to now allow alteration of the interior first floor space to allow an expansion of the living space,
Without expansion of the footprint within the required 30 -foot front yawl setback area, woWd not
be substantially more detrimental to the neighborhood than the existing nonconformity and
further reaffirms the Variance related findings made in said Decision.
Accordingly, by an UNANIMOUS vote, the Board GRANTS the requested
MODIFICATION of the VARIANCE granted in the Decision in Zoning Board of Appeals File
No. 056 -95, under Nantucket Zoning By -law 139 -16A, to allow the conversion of the expansion
of the second floor living space of the secondary dwelling into a portion of the first floor garage
space, while maintaining a one-bay garage space for parking, subject to the following conditions
(which incorporates the conditions contained in the previous Decision):
106203
n o 225 (a) The shall be Waited to year round occupmcy,
(b) The footprint ofthe garage structure shall remain substantially unchanged,
and any additions to allow for second Boor access and dormers shall be
made outside ofthe 30-foot setback area; and
(c) The apartment shaft be limited to a single bedroom.

DECISION:
Lot 132
1. At a public hearing of the Nantucket Zoning Board of Appeals, on Thursday, June 9,
2016, at 1:00 P.M., at 4 Fairgrounds Road, Nantucket, Massachusetts, the Board made the
following decision on the application of JANET HANSON, 18 Banks Farm Road, Bedford,
New York 10506, File No. 18 -16:
2. Applicant is seeking modification of prior Variance relief in order to remove the
condition that the second dwelling be restricted to year -round occupancy. Prior relief validated
the siting of the garage structure within the front yard setback and the conversion of a portion of
the garage into a second dwelling. No change in footprint is proposed. The Locus is situated at 3
Pond Road, is shown on Assessor's Map 56 as Parcel 151.1, and as Lot 132 upon Land Court
Plan 14830 -7. Evidence of owner's title is registered on Certificate of Title No. 23280 at the
Nantucket County District of the Land Court. The site is zoned Residential 20 (R -20).
3. Our decision is based upon the application and accompanying materials, representations,
and testimony received at our public hearing. There was no Planning Board recommendation on
the basis that no matters of planning concern were presented. Opposition, both written and oral,
was presented at the public hearing.
4. The Locus, shown on plan entitled "As -Built Plot Plan in Nantucket, MA ", dated October
1, 2009, prepared for Janet Hanson by Bracken Engineering, Inc., and attached herewith as
"Exhibit A ", contains 21,142 square feet of lot area in the R -20 zoning district where minimum
lot area is 20,000 square feet and has one hundred (100) feet of frontage on Pond Road, where
seventy -five (75) feet is required. It is improved with a dimensionally compliant primary
dwelling having a footprint of 913 square feet and a "garage /cottage" containing approximately
676 square feet of ground cover and sited as close as twelve (12) feet from Pond Road where
minimum front yard setback is thirty (30) feet. Total ground cover is 7.5% where maximum
allowable is 12.5 %.
5. Attorney Steven L. Cohen, who represented the Applicant at the hearing, explained that
the property has been granted prior relief in 1995, 2003, and 2007. The locus was originally part
of a larger parcel which was subdivided in 1984 into two lots. The subdivision resulted in
frontage, originally taken from Hussey Farm Road, being moved to Pond Road. This rendered
the garage structure, built in 1980, nonconforming as to `front yard setbacks', whereas it was
previously conforming when Pond Rd. was the established side yard.
In 1995, a prior owner was granted Variance relief to 1) validate the frontyard setback intrusion.
and 2) approve the conversion of the second floor of the nonconforming garage structure into an
apartment, while maintaining the two -car garage space on the first floor. The following
conditions were imposed in this decision:
a. The apartment shall be limited to year -round occupancy, and
b. The footprint of the garage structure shall remain substantially unchanged,
and that any additions to allow for second floor access and dormers shall be
made outside of the 30 foot setback area
In 2003, another prior owner obtained approval to modify said Variance in order to convert one
of the two first floor garage bays into additional living space for the second floor apartment. This
decision retained the prior conditions and added a 3rd which was:
C. The apartment shall be limited to a single bedroom.
In 2007, the same prior owners requested and received further relief to allow the conversion of
the entire garage structure into a second dwelling. However, this decision was neither recorded
nor exercised and the Building Permit originally pulled for said relief was voided. The prior
conditions were retained, with the exception that condition `c' was slightly modified to read:
C. The secondary dwelling shall be limited to a maximum of one bedroom without
further relieffrom this Board.
Applicant purchased the property in 2009 and has made some modest improvements to the
dwelling and garage apartment, but nothing that required additional relief or modification
thereto. The applicant is requesting to remove only the year -round occupancy condition.
6. Specifically, applicant seeks to eliminate, or in the alternative, to clarify the above
referenced "Condition A" contained in the following Variance and two subsequent Modifications
thereto:
1) Board of Appeals File No. 056 -95 granted to Phillip M. Jekanowski & Elizabeth D_
Collier — registered with the Nantucket County District of the Land Court as Document
71707;
2) Board of Appeals File No. 087 -03 granted to David Clough & Jane B. Clough -
registered with the Nantucket County District of the Land Court as Document 106203;
3) Board of Appeals File No. 023 -07 granted to David Clough & Jane B. Clough — never
registered with the Nantucket County Registry District of the Land Court.
7. Therefore, based on the application materials and testimony received at the public
hearing, the Board finds that the subject condition may be clarified, rather than eliminated. The
Board observed that the original intent of imposing the restriction was to support the creation of
available housing for year -round residents, and the need for such housing continues to be
prevalent on island. While the restriction does not allow the owner to rent on a short term basis,
it does not exclude casual use by the owner or guests and family members of the owner. Based
on the foregoing, the Board made a determination to modify the condition to allow for rentals of
the "garage /cottage" to be limited to year -round rentals of not less than twelve (12) months.
8. Accordingly, by a UNANIMOUS vote of the sitting Board, the Board of Appeals made
the determination to modify the previous decisions by replacing the above referenced "Condition
A" in the following manner:
a, The apartnient shall be finiited to -year round eeeupaney,---,6�
a. The rentals of the apartment to prospective tenant(s) shall be for periods not less
than twelve (12) consecutive months;
b. All other relief granted and conditions in above - referenced of prior Decisions
shall remain in full force and effect.
