2014 Annual Town Meeting
The Voter’s Guide to
Warrant Articles
1
INTRODUCTION
Greetings, Nantucket Voter!
And welcome to the 2014 Annual Town Meeting. Warrant articles are written to conform to language of various Laws and Codes crafted to accomplish intended purposes. Sometimes the language is technical and does not always allow for easily understood warrant articles. This Guide provides an easy-to-understand overview of the warrant articles: it explains the objective(s) of an article and how the article would realize those objectives. The Guide takes no position on any article. It is meant for informational purposes only and is not legally binding. There will likely be Technical Amendments to Motions that arose after the warrant went to print. Those amendments are not covered in this Guide. They will be addressed as one of the first orders of business at the beginning of Town Meeting. Also not covered are citizen-sponsored articles. Citizen sponsor(s) are expected to represent their own articles and sponsors often make information handouts available at the handout table out in the lobby. Voters vote on the MOTION to an article. See the Town Moderator’s Traditions and
Procedures for Annual Town Meeting booklet (available at the handout table) for details on voting, amendments and other procedures. In case you wondered…..How are motions and recommendations developed for Town Meeting warrant articles? -- In the fall, the warrant for annual town meetings “opens” to citizen petitions -- usually mid-October to mid-November. During this “open” period, citizens are encouraged to meet with Town Counsel about a potential article. Several sessions are scheduled to help citizens craft their language to accomplish their intended purpose. Nantucket is one of the Commonwealth’s few towns to offer its citizens this service. -- In December, the Finance Committee (a 9-member group appointed by the Board of Selectmen) begins its comprehensive review of all warrant articles. From December through mid-March the Committee meets 2-3 times weekly starting at 4:00 pm. Meetings are open to the public and you are encouraged to attend.

-- In October, the Capital Program Committee (CapComm) begins its review of all General Fund and Enterprise Fund capital project requests (CapComm is a 7-member group comprised of at-large citizens appointed by the Board of Selectmen, plus representatives from the Finance Committee, Nantucket Planning & Economic Development Commission and Board of Selectmen). CapComm typically meets once a week through December. Every department with a request(s) attends at least one meeting, and often several. -- Several other groups expend considerable effort reviewing and preparing financial and other articles for Town Meeting: the Planning Board, the Community Preservation Committee, the Health & Human Services Contract Review Committee, the School Committee, the Airport Commission and the Board of Selectmen. -- For each article on the warrant, there is a Finance Committee Motion (except for the zoning articles). Zoning articles have Planning Board Motions. There also may be Comments to various articles by the Planning Board, Finance Committee or Board of Selectmen. This Guide does not address their Comments. On to the Guide….

Article 1 – Receipt of Reports Article 1 is in the warrant for reference and follows the state law (Chapter 40, s. 49) that the Board of Selectmen provide an Annual Town Report, which contains the reports of specific (and other) agencies and departments of the Town. The Annual Town Report is typically published just before the Annual Town Meeting and covers the activities of the Town departments for the prior Fiscal Year. A copy of the Fiscal Year 2013 Annual Town Report is on the handout table.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive.
Article 2 – Appropriation: Unpaid Bills With few exceptions, Massachusetts municipalities are not legally allowed to pay bills from prior fiscal years in the current fiscal year without the approval of Town Meeting. “Unpaid bills” are generally bills which arrived after the close of a fiscal year, were inadvertently not paid or received, or were not able to be paid in the fiscal year within which they were incurred for budgetary or other reasons.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. The funding source is Free Cash for the
General Fund bills and Retained Earnings for the Enterprise Fund bills. Article 3 – Appropriation: Prior Year Articles From time to time, previously approved capital projects have been completed with funding left over or the project is not going forward. In these cases, Town Meeting can reappropriate any remaining funds to other eligible projects. If the original funding was borrowed, left-over funds may only be re-appropriated for specific projects which are similar to the type of project for which the original borrowing was incurred. If the original funding was not borrowed, the funding may be re-appropriated to any other project or funding source (for example, Free Cash or Stabilization Fund).
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to take no action because the prior year articles
are being reappropriated in its Motion to Article 10. Article 4 – Revolving Accounts/Annual Authorization A revolving account is a type of account or fund into which funds generated by a particular activity may be placed and used to pay for items related to that activity outside of the General Fund. For example, the Town has a Beach Improvement Revolving Account. The money received from the sale of beach stickers for driving on the beach is placed into this account and used for such expenses as: purchase of the beach stickers, printing of the beach map, signage and fencing, paying for the police beach patrols and ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) expenses. This year there is a capital purchase of a tractor and beach rake. Town

Meeting votes to set an annual Spending Limit on each revolving account which in the aggregate for all revolving accounts cannot exceed 10% of the fiscal year tax levy or, for FY 2015, $6,933,345.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and sets forth the Spending Limit for
each account for the coming Fiscal Year. Article 5 – Appropriation: Reserve Fund Massachusetts municipalities are authorized under Massachusetts General Law to make appropriations by a vote of Town Meeting to a Reserve Fund. By law, the Reserve Fund is available for “extraordinary or unforeseen expenditures” that may arise during the year. Money available in the Reserve Fund may be accessed only through a vote of the Finance Committee. The amount of funding which may be appropriated is limited to not more than 5% of the fiscal year tax levy or for FY 2015, $3,466,673. The Fiscal Year 2014 Reserve Fund appropriation is $500,000.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to appropriate $500,000 for the FY 2015 Reserve
Fund, to come from the tax levy. Article 6 – Fiscal Year 2015 General Fund Budget Transfers Transfers of funds between different departments and within a specific department’s budget, including between the salary and other expense categories requires a vote of Town Meeting. Toward the end of a fiscal year, some departments have a need for additional funding while some have a need for less. This Article is meant to “true up” department budgets, using already appropriated funds so that there is no impact on the taxpayer.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and utilizes existing funding already
appropriated at the 2013 Annual Town Meeting. Article 7 – Personnel Compensation Plans for Fiscal Year 2015 This Article seeks approval of the compensation schedules for positions outside of collective bargaining units, or without employment contracts or otherwise not covered by the Town’s personnel policies. The Article primarily lays out employee compensation schedules for per diem, seasonal and temporary employees, as well as elected officials. The schedule has changed very little from FY 2014 to FY 2015. Funding for the positions listed are contained within various departmental budgets.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 8 – Appropriation: Fiscal Year 2015 General Fund Operating Budget
5
Article 8 simply asks the Town to approve a General Fund operating budget for various town departments and agencies. The proposed expenditures are detailed in the Finance Committee’s Motion. The FY 2015 General Fund operating budget, which is balanced and lives within the projected revenues of the Town is proposed to increase by 4.6% over FY 2014. The tax rate is not expected to increase as a result of this budget.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 9 – Appropriation: Health and Human Services Each year, the Town of Nantucket executes grant agreements with non-profit agencies for various health and human services to be provided to island residents. The Town has considered this appropriation important and has been providing it for over 20 years. This appropriation avoids expansion of Town departments and personnel in fields that are not considered municipal services, but still provides needed services. There is a specific process in place for agencies to seek an allocation of the available funding. A rigorous review process, managed by the Town’s Human Services Contract Review Committee, reviews agencies’ requests for an allocation of funding each year. The Committee’s annual recommendations are reviewed and endorsed by the Board of Selectmen before the Finance Committee’s consideration. Following Town Meeting approval, grant agreements are executed with each agency. The agreements contain reporting and other oversight provisions meant to ensure proper use of the funds. The tax rate is not expected to increase as a result of this budget.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and the recommended amount is
approximately the same as was recommended for FY 2014. Article 10 – Appropriation: General Fund Capital Expenditures Capital projects are defined in the Town Code (Chapter 11, section 12.2 A and B) as follows: “A. A capital expenditure is a nonrecurring expenditure for land, buildings and/or building improvements having a useful life equaling or exceeding 10 years or an expenditure for municipal infrastructure and equipment having a useful life equaling or exceeding five years.” In other words, capital expenditures are big-ticket items meant to last. “B. Furthermore, capital expenditures must have aggregate direct and indirect costs, even if expended in multiple fiscal years, equaling or exceeding a dollar amount to be hereafter set forth by the Capital Program Committee. Any change in the dollar amount must have a two-thirds majority vote by the Committee. Furthermore, $50,000 is to be established as the initial amount until otherwise set forth in accordance with this article.”
6
The Town’s capital project review process begins in August each year and proposed projects are reviewed by: Town Administration, Board of Selectmen, Capital Program Committee and Finance Committee. Capital projects are generally funded by: 1) the General Fund, 2) the reappropriation of funds (as noted in the comment above to Article 3), 3) Free Cash or 4) Borrowing (which requires a 2/3 vote of Town Meeting and subsequent approval by the voters at an election).
The Finance Committee’s Motion lists the proposed projects and funding sources. In
summary, funding sources for $5,031,000 worth of capital projects would be as
follows:
$4,142,955.94 Free Cash
$350,000 Waterways Improvement Fund
$230,000 Beach Improvement Revolving Fund
$50,000 Wannacomet Water
$31,000 Airport
$100,000 Proceeds from Sale of Real Estate
$127.044.06 Prior Year Articles
$5,031,000
The tax rate is not expected to increase as a result of these projects. Article 11 – Appropriation: Enterprise Funds Operations Enterprise Funds, as established under Massachusetts General Law are intended to fund their own operations through user fees and other self-generated revenue. It is not entirely unusual, however, for Enterprise Funds to have subsidies from the General Fund when Enterprise Fund revenue does not entirely cover the Enterprise operations. The Town of Nantucket has 6 Enterprise Funds: Nantucket Memorial Airport** Our Island Home* Sewer Solid Waste* Water, Siasconset Water, Wannacomet *Requires a General Fund subsidy and has since inception **Required General Fund subsidy in FY 2012, 13, 14 but is not expected to require the subsidy in FY 2015
7
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and lists the proposed General Fund
subsidy(s) for each Fund where applicable. Article 12 – Appropriation: Enterprise Funds Capital Expenditures Proposed Enterprise Fund capital projects follow the same review process as General Fund capital projects. Such capital projects may be funded by the Retained Earnings of the Enterprise Fund; or, as is typically the case, through a borrowing (requiring a 2/3 vote of Town Meeting). The repayment of the debt over time is from the Enterprise Fund’s operating budget. If the debt service for a particular project is beyond what the Enterprise Fund can reasonably generate, the Town will seek approval of the voters for a debt exclusion at an election. In certain circumstances, such as the landfill mining item, the Town uses free cash to fund the capital expense. The tax rate is not expected to increase as a result of these projects. Because of recent financial issues with the Airport, the Airport Commission provided the following chart and narrative of the Airport capital projects, at the request of the Finance Committee:
Many of Nantucket Memorial Airport's ("ACK") capital projects are eligible for partial reimbursement by the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") and/or the Mass. DOT Aeronautics Division ("State"). The schedule below shows the ACK capital projects for which approval is being sought for FY2015 and the possible reimbursement attached to each one, resulting in the net share payable by ACK.

Note 2 – Applications have been filed for State reimbursement up to 80% but there is no guarantee of any commitment. Purchases will be made with or without reimbursement. Note 3 – The total ACK share of capital project costs actually completed will be funded with long-term debt, the debt service on which will be paid by the Airport Enterprise Fund budget.

Note 4 – Includes 3 projects/equipment purchases intended to keep the Airport in compliance with State environmental regulations.
The Finance Committee’s Motion lists the proposed projects and funding sources. Article 13 – Enterprise Fund Budget Transfers This article is similar to Article 6 (General Fund Budget Transfers): transfers of funds between salaries and expenses or additional funding from another source requires a vote of Town Meeting.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 14 – Appropriation: Waterways Improvement Fund Massachusetts General Law Chapter 40, section 5G allows municipalities to establish a Waterways Improvement Fund, into which we may deposit income that comes from mooring permit sales, rental of Town Pier slips, and the Town’s share of boat excise tax. Appropriations out of the fund must be for waterways-related purposes and require a vote of Town Meeting. Annually, applicable projects and some personnel costs are budgeted from the Waterways Fund. For FY 2015, Article 14 would authorize the Town to spend money on the regular annual items, plus dredging the waterfront at Children’s Beach, improving the Children’s Beach boat ramp, and water quality testing.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive to appropriate $118,300 from the fund
for FY 2015 (the Waterways Improvement Fund is also a funding source for items in
the Motion to Article 10).
Article 15 – Authorization: Airport Aviation Fuel Revolving Fund for Fiscal Year 2015 As noted for Article 4, Massachusetts General Law permits the establishment of Revolving Funds for the purchases of goods and services and the deposit of revenues outside of a normal operating budget. By special legislation, the Town of Nantucket is permitted to create a revolving fund for the purchase and sale of aviation fuel. That fund affords the Airport Commission flexibility in the face of volatile fuel prices. Town Meeting can establish a spending limit on the aviation fuel revolving fund. That limit, when added to the Town’s other revolving funds, shall not exceed 10% of the tax levy. Any revenue received in the revolving fund in excess of the established spending limit can, with Town Meeting authorization, be turned over to the Airport Enterprise Fund for its operating budget.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and establishes an Airport Aviation Fuel
Revolving Fund for FY 2015 of $5,382,650.

Article 16 – Appropriation: Ambulance Reserve Fund Receipts from the Town’s ambulance service are deposited into this fund. Expenditures made from this fund support the ambulance service. That support includes supplies, equipment and personnel costs for up to 4 full-time firefighter/EMT positions and the periodic replacement of ambulances.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and appropriates $375,000 from the
Fund for FY 15 for expenses associated with the Town’s ambulance service. Article 17 – Appropriation: County Assessment The County Assessment is an amount “charged” by the County to the Town for County services. The scope of these services is comparatively limited (Nantucket County having just the one Town). The assessment covers a portion of expenses of the Registry of Deeds as well as legal services, professional services and other expenses associated with items such as easements for road or bicycle path projects. As now drafted, this Article would not increase the tax rate.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and appropriates $170,201 for the FY
2015 County Assessment.
Article 18 – Appropriation/Finalizing FY 2015 County Budget Article 18 is included in the warrant in the event that the Finance Committee acting as the County Review Committee votes a denial of all or part of the proposed County budget. If this happens, following the requirements of the County Charter, the County Commissioners may seek such denial to be overturned by Town Meeting. Since the enactment of the County Charter the Finance Committee has never denied the County’s proposed budget.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to take no action since the County budget of
$170,201 was approved as presented. Article 19 – Rescind Unused Borrowing Authority From time to time, unused borrowing authority is cancelled (rescinded) if a project is not going to proceed or has been completed leaving all or a portion of the authorized amount unborrowed. It is good fiscal practice to keep borrowing authority current and to rescind amounts that are not going to be used.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to rescind the unused borrowing authority for 4
Airport projects which have been completed and the full authorized amount not
needed.
10
Article 20 – Appropriation/Ferry Embarkation Fee The ferry embarkation fee (the $.50 surcharge on one-way fast ferry tickets) is split among the port towns. Proceeds received by the Town (typically $150,000 - $200,000 annually) require annual appropriation by Town Meeting to be used. Annually, the Town has appropriated these funds for seasonal law enforcement purposes through the Police Department budget.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to appropriate $191,407 for the above purposes
for FY 2015.
Article 21 – Appropriation/Other Post-Employment Benefits Trust Fund The most common type of post-employment benefits is a pension. The category termed “Other Post-Employment Benefits” (or “OPEB”) includes health insurance and dental, vision, prescription, or other healthcare benefits provided to eligible retirees, and, possibly, their beneficiaries; and, certain types of life insurance. The Town is only required to fund its current costs for OPEB benefits as part of the operating budget. Based on actuarial studies, however, these costs will rise significantly in future years. The appropriation under Article 21 is intended to anticipate these future costs by setting aside money in a trust fund in order to meet future OPEB obligations. Funding the trust fund now is a prudent financial practice and will serve to improve the Town’s credit rating. This will be the second year the Town seeks to make an appropriation for this purpose through this Article (last year the Annual Town Meeting appropriated $250,000). The tax rate is not expected to increase as a result of this Article.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to appropriate $500,000 from the FY 2015 tax
levy.
Articles 22 – 28/Collective Bargaining Agreements Massachusetts General Law requires that funding for the first year of a collective bargaining agreement be approved by Town Meeting. Other than Article 24 (Our Island Home) none of the bargaining negotiations with the various unions were completed in time for funding amounts to be presented to Town Meeting. The tax rate will not increase as a result of Article 24.
The Finance Committee’s Motion to Article 24 is to transfer $54,000 from funds
already appropriated for FY 2014 to fund a 1-year contract for the employees of the
Service Employees International Union (SEIU) who work at Our Island Home.
11
Article 29 – Community Preservation Committee: FY 2015 Budget Transfers While this is technically a citizen-sponsored warrant article, the Community Preservation Committee is a committee of the Town of Nantucket. This warrant article simply seeks Town Meeting approval to transfer various unspent funds to the FY 2015 reserved fund balances for future projects.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 30 – Appropriation: FY 2015 Community Preservation Committee While this article is also citizen-sponsored, it utilizes funds received through a 3% surcharge on the tax bills of Nantucket property owners; as well as a state funded “match”. The funds gathered may only be spent on projects in the statutory categories of: Open Space and Recreation, Historic Preservation, and Affordable Housing. The Community Preservation Committee’s recommendations for FY 2015 are contained in the Article.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive.
Articles 31 – 33 are citizen articles and not explained here, as noted in the Introduction to this Guide.
Article 34 – Appropriation: Egan Properties Acquisition The Board of Selectmen sponsored this Article at the request of a citizen petition. It seeks to appropriate funds to acquire the subject properties which are in the vicinity of “Chicken Hill” (near “Dead Horse Valley”). If approved, the funds for a purchase of approximately 3 acres (estimated in the $7,000,000 - $8,000,000 range) would have to be secured with additional voter approval of a debt exclusion – a question for which is included on the April 15, 2014 election ballot. The Town’s understanding is that the property is already under agreement with a private buyer.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is not to adopt the Article; and, the Board of
Selectmen has a Comment that it does not support the Article. Article 35 – Zoning Bylaw Amendment: Flood Hazard OverlayDistrict This Article seeks Town Meeting approval to amend the Town’s flood maps, at the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”). All municipalities within certain specified areas of the country are being “asked” to do this in response to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). If a municipality does not vote to amend the maps, it will be suspended from the NFIP and affected residents will be unable to purchase federal flood insurance through the NFIP. Coverage would only be available through private insurers at
12
what could be a higher premium. The Town has been working with FEMA on the map boundaries for nearly three years and affected residents have been given the opportunity to appeal their status in the proposed maps. Nantucket has no pending appeals.
The Planning Board’s Motion is positive and the Finance Committee has a Comment
that supports the Motion.
Articles 36 – 68 are zoning articles. A Planning Board report meant to cover explanation of these articles, is contained within the Town Meeting warrant along with a Glossary of Terms related to zoning articles.
Article 69 – Bylaw Amendment: Town Sewer District Map Changes Sewer district map changes are generally sought by residents who want their property(s) to be in the district so they can connect to the Town sewer system; or, sometimes, the Town seeks a map change to include parcels that were inadvertently left out during the initial establishment of the districts and only recently discovered. The Town of Nantucket Sewer Act requires that the Board of Selectmen vote, prior to Town Meeting, on proposals to amend the map(s). If the Board does not approve a proposal, it will require a 2/3 vote at Town Meeting rather than a majority vote if the Board does approve a proposal. Proposals are reviewed by an internal administrative work group comprised of the DPW Director, Director of Planning and Health Officer. The group reviews the proposals in accordance with criteria established for determining if a property should be included in a district. At a public hearing held on February 19, 2014, the Board of Selectmen (acting in its capacity as Sewer Commissioners) voted to approve inclusion of the parcels listed in the Article, into the Town Sewer District.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 70 – Bylaw Amendment: Town and Sconset Sewer District Map Changes This Article is very similar to Article 69, only for different parcels in both the Town and Sconset Sewer Districts. Since there were discussions still underway with some of the parcels when the warrant went to print (Old South Road area - related to some zoning articles; and, Sconset parcels – related to Baxter Road area zoning articles), neither the Board of Selectmen nor the Finance Committee acted on whether or not to include the parcels in the districts until after the warrant was printed.
The Finance Committee’s Motion and Board of Selectmen Comment are to be
provided at the Town Meeting.
13
Articles 71 – 73 are citizen-sponsored Sewer District articles and are not included in this Guide. Article 74 – Bylaw Amendment: Parking Through this Article, the Board of Selectmen is seeking to repeal the current bylaw which governs parking so that changes may be made more expeditiously, through a public hearing process, rather than having to wait for a town meeting to make changes. The original bylaw was approved over 30 years ago when parking conditions were much different. The bylaw has not kept up with the times, and it can be cumbersome and difficult for the Board to act when it needs to adjust parking regulations if it has to wait for a town meeting that could be months away.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 75 – Bylaw Amendment: Parking This is a “fall back” in the event that Article 74 is not approved; and, would make amendments to the current bylaw rather than a complete repeal. It would allow the Board – again, through a public hearing process – to make certain parking changes without the approval of Town Meeting.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Articles 76 – 81 are citizen-sponsored articles and not included in this Guide.
The next several articles are Home Rule Petitions. A few words about Home Rule Petitions:
Cities and towns in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are subject to the General Laws of
the Commonwealth. From time to time, a city or town requires special legislation (via a
“Home Rule Petition”) in order to address a need or issue unique to that municipality.
Sometimes this is an exemption to the law, sometimes it is an addition. A request for special
legislation must be approved by Town Meeting and enacted by the State Legislature.
Thousands of Home Rule Petitions are submitted annually from cities and towns across the
state. As a result, they can often take years to enact. Some of the Home Rule Petitions that
follow have been approved by Town Meeting several times because they have not been
enacted by the Legislature. Article 82 – Home Rule Petition: Airport Fuel Revolving Fund As noted with Article 15, the Town sought and received approval for special legislation to establish an Airport Fuel Revolving Fund. Because of the volume of fuel sales and purchases in that Fund, the Town has bumped up against the legal requirement with its
14
other revolving funds that in total, cannot exceed 10% of the tax levy or $6,933,345. The Town is seeking an exemption from the “10% rule” for this one revolving fund.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 83 – Home Rule Petition: Nantucket Mosquito Control Project As we all know, mosquitoes can be a real problem in Nantucket, especially in wet/swampy areas. Many of the areas are in private ownership and cannot be treated without permission of the private property owner. This Article will allow for testing and treating of documented breeding areas on both public and private property. Private property owners will be able to opt out if they so choose.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 84 – Home Rule Petition: Community Preservation Committee This Article restores compliance with state law on the part of the Town’s Community Preservation Committee (CPC). The state Community Preservation Act prescribes the membership of local Community Preservation Committees (which are responsible for making recommendations on the allocation of the Community Preservation funds – see Articles 29 and 30). One member must be from the local historical commission. When the Town’s CPC was initially appointed in 2003, though, the Nantucket Historical Commission (an advisory group appointed by the Board of Selectmen) had not yet been established; however, the Historic District Commission (an elected commission) did exist. A decision was made that an HDC representative would “fit the bill” and the local CPC bylaw was written to include an HDC representative on the CPC. Technically this is not what is allowed by the state law. The Article would restore compliance with state law by allowing for the local bylaw to be amended to include an HDC representative on the CPC.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive.
Article 85 – Home Rule Petition: Conveyance of Property by the County/Smooth Hummocks Conveyances of County land require special legislation; and, changes of use in land previously designated for a particular purpose can also require legislative approval. Here, approval is being sought to convey County land held for beach purposes in the Smooth Hummocks area to the Town for beach and open space purposes, and also to authorize the Town to convey all or any portion of the subject property to the Land Bank.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive.
15
Article 86 – Home Rule Petition: Conveyance of Miscellaneous Land to the Land Bank Again, with this Article, special legislation is required to change the use of certain land currently owned by the Town to open space and public park purposes, as well as to authorize conveyance of the properties listed in the Motion to the Land Bank.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 87 – Amendment to Historic District Commission Special Act Because the HDC was originally created by special legislation, any amendments to it also require approval of the State Legislature. In a nutshell: this Article would amend the HDC Act so that the membership would change from 5 elected members to 3 elected and 2 appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Articles 88 – 91 are citizen-sponsored articles and not included in this Guide. Article 92 – Home Rule Petition: Conveyance of Land from County to Town As noted in Article 85, the conveyance of County land requires special legislation. This petition seeks to convey County land to the Town for general municipal and access purposes. The conveyance is being sought so that in the event that a new access road needs to be created in the Baxter Road area due to erosion of the Sconset Bluff along that road, this required step will have been accomplished.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 93 – Real Estate Conveyance: Portions of Baxter Road Town Meeting approval is required in order for Town property to be conveyed (sold, transferred) to other parties. This Article seeks to authorize the Board of Selectmen to convey to abutters certain parcels of Town-owned property for residential or access purposes. Again, this is prompted by the possibility that the Town may need to allow for alternative access for properties using Baxter Road in the event of a road failure due to Sconset Bluff erosion.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 94 – Real Estate Acquisition: Unnamed Way off Baxter Road The Town Charter requires Town Meeting approval for eminent domain takings by the Town through the Board of Selectmen. This Article involves an unnamed way that could provide alternative access for Baxter Road properties in the event of road failure due to
16
erosion. If it becomes critical and negotiations to acquire this property outside of the eminent domain process are not successful, the Town may have no choice but to proceed with the taking process. This Article authorizes that action.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive and authorizes an appropriation of
$500,000 from the Proceeds from Real Estate Sales Account, if needed. Article 95 – Real Estate Disposition: Unnamed Way off Baxter Road This Article pertains to the same property as in Article 94. If the property is acquired, this Article authorizes conveyance to abutters of parts of it which may be necessary for a successful transaction for alternative access for Baxter Road properties.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 96 – 99 Real Estate Acquisition/Disposition: “Paper” Streets in Brant Point, etc Area; “Paper” Proprietors Roads in Cisco, etc Area These 4 Articles are intended to “clean up” small parcels of land that are essentially unclaimed and not currently taxed. Articles 96 and 97 go together and Articles 98 and 99 go together. The authorizations in Articles 96 and 98 would allow the Board of Selectmen to acquire the parcels – by eminent domain if necessary - to clear title to them. In Articles 97 and 99 the authorization would allow the Board to sell the parcels to private property owners (generally abutters) in accordance with specific requirements so that the parcels are eventually put into the tax base.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 100 – Public Ways: Coffin, Fayette, Meader and Francis Streets Recent research revealed that these 4 streets have never actually been properly laid out and accepted as public ways! The Article will allow the process to be completed.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive.

Article 101 – Real Estate Disposition: Ticcoma Way This article allows the development of affordable housing or municipally sponsored housing for employees on 3 newly created lots located along a new road at the rear of land at 2-4 Fairgrounds Road and removes earlier authorization for land (10 lots) along Ticcoma Way that the Board of Selectmen and Town Administration have found to be inappropriate for housing because their location may impede upon or unreasonably limit future uses of the site.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 102 – Real Estate Conveyance: Miscellaneous Town Land to the Land Bank This is a companion article to Article 86. Article 86 seeks special legislation to allow a conveyance of Town land to the Land Bank. Article 102 authorizes the Board of Selectmen to execute the action if approved by the Legislature.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 103 – Appropriation: Acquisition of Land in Madaket This Article would authorize the Board of Selectmen to purchase about 92 acres at the Head of the Plains in Madaket (site of the Federal Aviation Administration tower, which has been removed) from the General Services Administration of the federal government. The process involves the Town and the GSA appraisers determining the value of the property; then the parties would negotiate a sale price. It is expected that conservation organizations and private individuals or organizations would contribute to the cost of the acquisition. Since the appraisers have not established a value for the land, consideration of this Article is considered premature.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to take no action. Article 104 – Real Estate Acquisition: Lot 24, Okorwaw Avenue This Article is to authorize the Board of Selectmen to acquire by eminent domain this lot of land, Lot 24 Okorwaw Avenue, for Airport purposes. This lot was included within the description of the boundaries of a large tract of land which was taken for Airport purposes in 1941 but the proper filing was not completed as required by statute. The authorization provided for in the Article would allow for proper completion of the acquisition.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is positive. Article 105 is a citizen-sponsored article and is not included in the Guide.
18
Article 106 – Appropriation: Stabilization Fund The Stabilization Fund (aka the “Rainy Day Fund”) is most often relied on by municipalities to fund items such as large legal settlements, “stabilize” the budget in an emergency or fund future significant capital projects. Currently, Town policy requires that the balance in the Stabilization Fund be at least equal to 5% of revenue. The level is currently achieved. The Town is not seeking an appropriation into or from the Fund for FY 2015.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to take no action. Article 107 – Appropriation: Free Cash The Town’s certified free cash for use in FY 2014 and 2015 is $5,671,720. Approximately $4,300,000 (see Articles 2, 8, 10) of that amount is proposed to be used to fund items in both fiscal years. The remainder is currently left undesignated and would be part of the Free Cash calculation following the end of FY 2014.
The Finance Committee’s Motion is to take no action.

Glossary of Terms
Appropriation: Approval by Town Meeting to spend money for specific purposes defined by a warrant article.
Budget: The Town’s annual plan of financial operations that includes an estimate of proposed revenues and expenditures.
Community Preservation Act: A state law that provides for a 3% surcharge on tax bills to fund projects in the areas of affordable housing, open space and recreation, and historic preservation.
Debt Exclusion: A vote with a 2/3 quantum at Town Meeting at both a town meeting and an election with a simple majority vote to exclude debt service payments for a particular project from the levy limit, which allows the Town to increase its total property tax levy above the limit set by Proposition 2 ½ . The amount of the annual debt service payment is added to the levy limit for the life of the debt only.
Debt Service: Payment of interest and principal to holders of the Town’s bonds and notes.
Enterprise Funds: A method that allows a community to account for funds used for a certain area of service through charges to those who use the service – in other words, the user pays. Sometimes, a particular service cannot support itself and requires a subsidy from the General Fund. Nantucket has 6 enterprise funds (Airport, Our Island Home, Solid Waste, Sewer, Wannacomet Water, Sconset Water), 2 of which require a General Fund subsidy (Our Island Home, Solid Waste).
Fiscal Year: A 12-month period running from July 1 – June 30, commonly used in municipal government as the time period within which budget funds will be spent. Most of the monies appropriated at the 2014 Annual Town Meeting are for the Fiscal Year 2015, which starts on July 1, 2014 and ends June 30, 2015.
Free Cash: A dollar value, which must be certified by the state, which represents revenues that exceeded expectations and expenses that were below projections. Town Meeting approval is required in order to spend free cash. In Nantucket, free cash is generally used for one-time items such as capital projects, and not used to balance the budget.
20
General Fund: The major Town fund created with Town receipts and tax revenues from which most Town expenses are spent. The General Fund contains several categories defined in the budget, such as personnel costs.
Levy: The amount a community raises through the property tax. The levy can be any amount up to the levy limit, which is re-established every year in accordance with Proposition 2½ provisions.
Override: A majority vote by Town Meeting and an election to permanently increase the levy limit.
Proposition 2½: A law approved by Massachusetts voters in 1980. It sets a limit on the year to year increase of real and personal property taxes that a community may levy on its taxpayers.
Retained Earnings: The Free Cash for an Enterprise Fund.
Stabilization Fund: A “rainy day” fund that is a special reserve account created primarily to provide for capital improvements and unforeseen circumstances. It requires a 2/3 vote of Town Meeting to take money from this fund and appropriate it for expenditure. Appropriation into the Fund may not exceed 10% of the prior year’s tax levy. The current balance in Nantucket’s Stabilization Fund exceeds the threshold recommended by the state.
Warrant: A list of the article to be acted upon by Town Meeting. The language of an article frequently conforms to the style of the code into which it will be placed if passed, such as zoning.

2. By inserting a new section 12L as follows:
139-12(L) Old South Commercial Overlay District. The purpose of the Old South Commercial
Overlay District (OSCOD) is to advance the following objectives in the area located on either
side of Old South Road, in the vicinity of its intersections with Lover’s Lane and Goldfinch
Drive: 1. to promote consistency and quality in the planning and siting of commercial
(particularly retail) uses and buildings, streetscape improvements, and infrastructure
improvements related thereto; 2. to enhance safety to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists in
the area; 3. to mitigate traffic congestion, particularly by diverting and dispersing traffic that
would otherwise concentrate in the downtown and mid-island areas; and, 4. to promote
economic vitality; all in accordance with the general guidance of the Naushop Crossing Area
Plan (NCAP), adopted by the Planning & Economic Development Commission on March 3,
2014, on file in the office of the Nantucket Planning & Economic Development Commission.
The OSCOD is located and bounded as shown on the following maps adopted by reference
herein: “Old South Commercial Overlay District,” January, 2014. The overlay district, as shown
on said map shall be considered an overlay district to be superimposed on the Zoning Map of
Nantucket, Massachusetts.
(1) Allowed uses:
(a) All uses allowed by right on the lot within the underlying district in which the land is
located.
(2) Uses by special permit:
(a) All uses permitted on the lot requiring a special permit within the underlying district in
which the lot is located.
Page 59
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
(b) Any building(s) devoted primarily to retail use, in excess of 20,000 square feet of
ground cover, as defined in the provisions of 139-2, up to a maximum of 45,000
square feet of ground cover, as defined in the provisions of 139-2, and as permitted
in accordance with the provisions of 139-11.K(2).
(3) Prohibited uses:
(a) All uses prohibited on the lot within the underlying district in which the land is located.
(4) Additional development requirements within the OSCOD:
(a) The Planning Board shall be the special permit granting authority for all commercial
uses requiring a special permit within the OSCOD.
(b) No buildings devoted primarily to retail use or portions of buildings devoted primarily
to retail use within the OSCOD in excess of 10,000 square feet of ground cover shall
be located within one hundred (100) feet of the Old South Road right of way.
(c) No buildings devoted primarily to retail use within the OSCOD shall be permitted on
a lot which is comprised of less than 10,000 square feet of land area.
(d) The intensity of any buildings devoted primarily to retail use in excess of 10,000
square feet of ground cover within the OSCOD shall be limited to a ratio of not more
than 10,000 square feet of ground cover, or fraction thereof, for every 40,000 square
feet of land area, or fraction thereof.
(e) Buildings devoted primarily to retail use in excess of 20,000 square feet of ground
cover shall be permitted within the OSCOD, but only to the extent permitted and as
set forth in Section 139-11K(2).
(f) In considering the approval of any use or expansion within the OSCOD which is
subject to the issuance of a special permit and / or major site plan review, the
Planning Board may require an applicant to install improvements within the public
right-of-way along the frontage of the property controlled by the applicant in
accordance with the Naushop Crossing Area Plan (NCAP). Off-site improvements
(i.e., beyond the frontage of the property) may be required for special permit uses to
the extent that the demand for the improvements is justified by the nature and
intensity of the use. For major traffic generators, these improvements may include
bike path, road, and intersection improvements.
(g) The Planning Board, as special permit granting authority, shall have the power to
grant a special permit reducing the open area requirements under either § 139-11G
or § 139-16E, whichever is applicable, and notwithstanding the provisions of § 139-
16E(3), provided that it makes the finding that the applicant has provided sufficient
and appropriate landscaping, and further provided that it makes the finding that the
benefits to the community and the neighborhood from the reduction of open area
Page 60
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
requirements, as conditioned by the decision granting the special permit, will
outweigh the benefits that would be derived from the provision of the open area
requirements as would otherwise be required. The Planning Board may impose
reasonable conditions for the granting of such a special permit, including but not
limited to the substitution of off-site landscaping elements, and requirements for the
permanent maintenance of landscaping features within the site by the applicant and
its successors.
(5) Additional design standards within the OSCOD:
(a) The following design standards, which were included as recommendations in the
Naushop Crossing Area Plan (NCAP), shall apply to future commercial development
in applicable areas of the OSCOD, where such development directly abuts a
residential property:
i. No single commercial building (or portion of any single commercial building)
located within one hundred (100) feet of any directly abutting residential
property shall exceed 10,000 square feet of ground cover.
ii. Commercial buildings located within one hundred (100) feet of any directly
abutting residential property shall be screened with fencing and/or densely
planted landscaping, in order to minimize their impact on such property.
iii. A twenty (20) foot wide densely planted “no build” setback area from a
property line shall be maintained between commercial properties and any
directly abutting residential property. Allowed within this “no build” setback
area shall include utilities and fencing, vegative or man-made screening,
plantings, or landscape features. The Planning Board may waive or modify
these requirements provided a finding is made that the proposed use is a
small scale commercial businesses, such as offices, personal services or
other commercial uses compatible with residential uses.
iv. Dense vegetative screening shall be maintained between large scale
commercial uses and residential property, and additionally may include solid
board fencing, subject to approval by the Nantucket Historic District
Commission (HDC).
v. Commercial parking areas located within one hundred (100) feet of any
directly abutting residential property shall be screened with densely planted
landscaping and/or fencing, in order to minimize the impact upon such
property. Commercial parking areas should also be paved, to reduce noise
and dust impacts.
vi. Loading and service related functions of large commercial businesses shall
be oriented away from and not opposite of the directly abutting residential
property, in order to minimize impacts. Commercial loading and service
Page 61
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
related functions for smaller businesses should be shared, to the extent
possible, in order to minimize disturbance to residential property.
vii. Loading and service related functions of all commercial buildings shall be
located in the rear and or side(s) of the respective buildings, and should also,
to the extent possible, be located the furthest distance away from the directly
abutting residential property to minimize disturbances.
viii. Lighting fixtures for commercial uses shall be shielded and directed to avoid
the “spillage” of light or glare to adjoining properties. The design and height of
such lighting should be in keeping with “Building with Nantucket in Mind”
specifically the section entitled “New Commercial Design: Exterior Details”.
Appropriate street lighting should be installed along Old South Road to
increase visibility and safety at entrances and access points;
ix. Exterior lighting should also comply with Chapter 102 (Outdoor Lighting) of
the Code of the Town of Nantucket. Further, small scale lighting, designed to
focus light where it is needed on targeted areas, rather than the utilization of
more standard “security” lighting that frequently provides excess lighting
beyond what is needed for safety and security, is encouraged.
x. Bike paths, walking paths, and sidewalks to connect commercial
developments with residential neighborhoods and public and private rights of
way are encouraged. Bicycle and pedestrian access should be encouraged
as a means of reducing vehicular traffic impacts; and
xi. Efforts shall be made to retrofit existing multi-use paths and construct new
multi-use paths incorporating design elements and other means of minimizing
potential conflicts between vehicles and bicyclists. These elements may
include the use of reflectors, lighting, textured paving, and tactile warning
strips leading up intersections with roadways. Implementation of grade
separations at major crossings or intersections, where subsurface conditions
allow, and where the intensity of use by bicyclists warrant these types of
improvements, should be explored, where feasible.

changes are not meant to become part of the final text; and, further, that non-substantive

PLANNING BOARD COMMENT: The Board determined that the changes proposed in this
Article were policy-level issues that impact the entire town, thereby warranting discussion by
the full legislative body – Town Meeting.
FINANCE COMMITTEE COMMENT: The Finance Committee recognizes that the developer
has requested that the Town Meeting take no action; however, the zoning change of the
magnitude proposed has the potential to create infrastructure and other impacts that have
financial repercussions to taxpayers. Consequently, the Committee urges the Planning Board
and staff to arrive at a written agreement with the developer that both identifies and commits
the developer to mitigate impacts that might arise from the rezoning, prior to this rezoning
article coming before Town Meeting. The Committee appreciates the recognition of more
thorough public review and looks forward to a more public discussion.

of the Town of Nantucket):
B. The Public Wellhead Recharge District...
(1) Permitted uses:…
(c) Storage of home or business fuel intended to be consumed on site for space
heating, hot water heating and cooking purposes and contained in tanks not
exceeding 1,000 gallons, provided that the design and installation of said tanks is
reviewed and approved by the Health Inspector and the Fire Chief in accordance
with applicable health and fire safety regulations. Any permitted fuel storage shall
be freestanding, above-ground, on an impervious surface, and provided with 110%
of storage secondary containment, regardless of size. For the purpose of this § 139-
12B, the term "fuel" shall not include liquid propane gas…
(2) Prohibited uses:…
(b) The manufacture, use, pipeline transport, storage, disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic materials, except as noted in Subsection B(1)(b), (c), (d) and (e) above.
Petroleum, fuel oil and heating oil bulk stations and terminals, including, but not limited
to, those listed under Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes 5171 (not

ARTICLE 62
(Zoning Bylaw Amendment: Parking, Driveways, Screening, Off-Street Loading)
To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 139 (Zoning) of the Code of the Town of
Nantucket, as follows (NOTE: new language is shown as highlighted text, language to be
deleted is shown by strikeout; these methods to denote changes are not meant to become part
of the final text and, further, that non-substantive changes to the numbering of this bylaw be
permitted in order that it be in compliance with the numbering format of the Code of the Town
of Nantucket):
1. To amend section 18 as follows:
A. Except in the CDT district, Nno land shall be used and no building or structure shall be
erected, enlarged or used unless the off-street parking space requirements are met as
specified in this § 139-18.
(1) For the purpose of this § 139-18, an enlargement of any building or a change in use of
a building, which increases the parking requirements beyond what currently exists, shall
require the provision of off-street parking for the existing building as if it were newly
constructed.
(2) When one building is used for more than one use, parking requirements shall be
computed for each use.
(23) Where the computation of required parking space results in a fractional number, only
the fraction of .50 or more shall be counted as one.
(4) Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the principal
or accessory use they are required to serve.
(5) Parking upon a lot shall be located entirely within delineated parking areas.
Delineated shall mean, for the purposes of this sub-section, a parking area defined by
edging or surface material so that it can be easily differentiated from surrounding yard or
landscaped areas. Continuous use of landscaped areas to meet parking needs shall be
deemed a change of use and may require additional screening as noted in this sub-
section;
(36) Head-in, ninety-degree parking spaces and forty-five degree parking spaces shall not
be less than 9 feet in width and 20 18 feet in length. The required length for parallel
parking spaces shall not be less than 23 20 feet. For residential parking only, one required
Page 87
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
parking space may be reduced to a minimum dimension of 7 feet in width and 17 feet in
length.
(7) Commercial parking areas containing 5 or more spaces shall be so arranged as not to
require backing of vehicles onto any street or way.
(48) Stacked or tandem parking spaces are allowed for residential uses only., provided
that no more than 4 four spaces are so arranged in this manner. Only one tandem parking
space or part thereof, per row, shall be allowed within the front yard setback. Tandem
spaces shall be subject to § 139-20.1B(2)(h) and shall not extend for greater than two
spaces in depth or width as illustrated in Plate 3.1 below.
(5) Aisle Width. For lots containing one or more commercial uses, aisle width shall not be
less than 24 20 feet for ninety-degree parking, 15 feet for forty-five-degree parking (angle
shall be measured between center line of parking space and center line of aisle), and 12
feet for parallel parking. Aisle width requirements shall not apply to residential uses
except for lots containing multi-family or duplex dwelling units, in which case a minimum
aisle width of 12 feet shall apply for ninety-degree, forty-five degree, and parallel parking.
(6) When one building is used for more than one use, parking requirements shall be
computed for each use.
(7) Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the principal
or accessory use they are required to serve.
B. Relief from parking requirements by special permit.
(1) When practical difficulties prevent locating the required off-street parking spaces on
the same lot with the uses requiring them, the special permit granting authority having

jurisdiction may, by special permit, may issue a special permit to allow the use of off-site
premises to meet all or a portion of the required off-street parking by lease, easement or
ownership.
(2) Relief from any parking requirement of this chapter, except for § 139-18B(1) and
§ 139-18B(4), may be secured through the issuance of a special permit issued by the
special permit granting authority having jurisdiction, provided that such authority makes
the following findings:
(a) That the granting of such special permit is in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of this chapter; and
(b) That compliance with the parking requirements of this § 139-18 would:
[1] Be physically impossible for the applicant to provide, or
[2] If physically practical, have a significant and adverse effect on the scenic or
historic integrity of the neighborhood; or
[3] Be contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations.
(3) The Core District and the Resident Parking District shall be as shown on the
Nantucket Parking District Map dated April 7, 1999, on file in the office of the Town Clerk.
(4) For properties located in the LUG-1, LUG-2, LUG-3 and MMD Zoning Districts, special
permit relief shall be limited to a waiver of not more than 30% of the spaces required
under the provisions of § 139-18.
C. Large parking areas. (See also § 139-19 below.) For parking areas of five spaces or more
on a lot, the following shall apply:
(1) Parking spaces (other than those for single- and two-family dwellings) shall be so
arranged as not to require backing of vehicles onto any street or way used by the public.
(2) Egress shall be designed so as to provide a safe and unobstructed view of traffic in
each travel direction.

(3) The granting of relief would not be contrary to sound traffic, parking or safety
considerations.
§ 139-20.1. Driveway access.
A. Purpose. This § 139-20.1 regulating driveway access is enacted under the authority of
MGL c. 40A for the purposes of protecting the safety and general welfare of the inhabitants
of the Town of Nantucket, by the creation of standards, guidelines and regulatory and
administrative processes governing the creation of driveway access within all zoning
districts.
B. Regulation of driveway access. No building permit in connection with a building or use
which creates a new driveway access onto a public right-of-way, or private right-of-way
intended for public use, shall be issued, nor use established, until such driveway access has
been approved by the Nantucket Department of Public Works (DPW), as complying with the
requirements of § 139-20.1B(2). This requirement may be waived for individual driveway
accesses on lots shown on a definitive subdivision which has been endorsed by the
Planning Board pursuant to the Subdivision Control Law, MGL c. 41, § 81K et seq., and for
which a certification by the DPW has been received by the Planning Board that the driveway
accesses within the subdivision comply with the requirements of § 139-20.1B(2).
(1) No more than one driveway access shall be allowed on a lot. However, the Planning
Board may grant a waiver to allow two or more driveway accesses in accordance with
§ 139-20.1C.
(2) Minimum driveway standards associated with driveway accesses. No request for
approval of a driveway access permit shall be approved unless the driveway complies
with the following minimum standards, except as otherwise required by applicable law:
(a) Driveways shall be designed and constructed so as not to result in the direction of
stormwater runoff, and soil, stones, or other debris, onto or within the intersecting right-
of-way.
(b) No driveway access shall be located closer than 25 feet from the curbline of an
intersecting street, measured from the nearest point of the driveway.
(c) Driveways shall be constructed with a slope not exceeding 12% at their intersection
with the street. The DPW may approve a greater slope based on a finding that a lesser
slope is infeasible due to the topography or other natural characteristics of the site, and
the driveway is designed using sound engineering practice.
(d) Any new or modified driveways intersecting with a paved road shall have a
cobblestone, Bbelgium Bblock, concrete, brick, or asphalt apron with a flared width of
Page 97
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
not less than 15 feet,. and a The apron shall extend across the entire width of the
driveway and shall have a minimum depth of 10 feet behind the edge of pavement of no
less than 10 feet.
(e) Any areas disturbed in connection with the construction of the driveway shall be
stabilized to prevent erosion and sedimentation of the subject property, adjacent
property, and of the intersecting street. Adjoining drainage structures shall be protected
from sedimentation. Disturbed areas shall be loamed and seeded immediately following
construction, or temporary erosion control measures used outside of the growing
season.
(f) Any driveway accesses onto a state highway are subject to the regulations and
standards of the Massachusetts Highway Department.
(gf) The width of driveway accesses shall be measured at the limit of the traveled way
within the street right-of-way. Residential driveway accesses shall be cleared free of
vegetation and obstruction to a minimum width of 12 feet and a height of 13 feet along a
driveway constructed to a minimum of 10 feet in width wide and a maximum of 15 feet
in width wide, excluding corner rounding which may have maximum radius of two2 feet.
A residential driveway access not exceeding twenty20 feet in width (excluding corner
rounding with a maximum radius of two feet) may be allowed subject to its conformance
with standards shown in Plate 2(g.1) and subject to conditions set forth in Subsection
B(2)(h) below.
a. Commercial driveway width shall be a minimum of 12 feet and a maximum of
30 feet, excluding corner roundings which may have a maximum radius of 5 feet.
b. Residential driveway access shall be cleared free of vegetation and obstruction
to a minimum width of 12 feet and a minimum height of 13 feet. The travelled
surface of the driveway shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width and a maximum of
15 feet in width, excluding corner rounding which may have maximum radius of 2
feet. A residential driveway access not exceeding 20 feet in width (excluding
corner rounding with a maximum radius of 2 feet) may be allowed subject to its
conformance with standards shown in Plate 2(g.1) and subject to conditions set
forth in Subsection B(2)(g) below. In the R-5 district only, 2 such driveways may
be constructed on a single lot provided that the driveways are separated by at
least 5 feet of landscaping or walkway. Tandem parking extensions to any such
driveway configuration may be allowed through the issuance of a special permit
by the Planning Board.
Page 98
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
c. In the R-5 and R-10 districts only, head-in residential driveways not exceeding
27 feet in width and not more than 20 feet in depth measured from the property
line, shall be permitted subject to the screening requirements above.
(hg) On-site turnarounds will be required for all lots within the LUG-1, LUG-2, LUG-3,
and MMD Zoning Districts, except for those lots in said districts that are within a cluster
or MRD subdivision, and lots with driveway access onto the following roadways:

(ih) All secondary dwellings approved by the Planning Board shall have a combined
driveway access. However, the Planning Board may approve separate access for such
dwellings on lots that are not expressly permitted two driveway accesses pursuant to
§ 139-20.1B(1), upon a finding made during the review of secondary dwelling
applications in accordance with Section 3.06 of the Rules and Regulations Governing
the Subdivision of Land that the separate access would not have a significant and
adverse effect on the scenic or historic integrity of the neighborhood, and that separate
access is not contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations and combined access
is infeasible due to physical constraints or barriers on the property, including, but not
limited to, topography or natural vegetation. Access to secondary dwellings shall be
clear of obstructions or vegetation to a width of 12 feet and a height of 13 feet along a
driveway with a minimum improved width of 10 feet.
(3) Common driveways. No common driveway shall be created for shared access by two
2 or more lots, unless they shall comply with the requirements of this section.
(a) No common access shall be permitted unless aAn easement(s) or easements,
running with the land in perpetuity, and providing for maintenance, repair, and
reconstruction of the driveway and any associated drainage by parties in interest, are
shall be executed by the owners, and recorded in the Registry of Deeds prior to the
issuance of any building permits. Evidence of such recording shall be submitted to the
Building Commissioner or Building Inspector with any building permit application for any
of the lots subject to an easement or easements.
(b) Ownership and maintenance of a common driveway shall be assured through a
restrictive covenant, which binds current and future owners of each lot served by the
common driveway, to the responsibility for maintenance, repair, and reconstruction of
the common driveway. The language contained in the covenant shall include provisions
for the maintenance, repair, and reconstruction of the common driveway and its
drainage system, as appropriate; provision for the allocation of financial responsibility;
and a procedure for the resolution of disputes.The covenant shall be recorded in the
Registry of Deeds, reference to which shall be incorporated in the deed for each lot
served by the common driveway.
(c) Nothing in this section will conflict with the powers of the Planning Board to require
common access in connection with any subdivision approved in accordance with the
Board's "Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land."
C. Waivers. The Planning Board may grant a waiver to any of the requirements of this
§ 139-20.1 through the granting of a special permit, provided that, in addition to finding that
the requirements of § 139-30 have been satisfied, the Board finds that the granting of the
special permit would not have a significant and adverse effect on the scenic or historic
integrity of the neighborhood, and is not contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations.

Or to take any other action related thereto.
(Board of Selectmen for Planning Board)
PLANNING BOARD MOTION: Moved that Chapter 139 (Zoning) of the Code of the Town of
Nantucket, is hereby amended as follows (NOTE: new language is shown as highlighted text,
language to be deleted is shown by strikeout; these methods to denote changes are not meant
to become part of the final text and, further, that non-substantive changes to the numbering of
this bylaw be permitted in order that it be in compliance with the numbering format of the Code
of the Town of Nantucket):
1. Section 18:
A. Except in the CDT district, Nno land shall be used and no building or structure shall be
erected, enlarged or used unless the off-street parking space requirements are met as
specified in this § 139-18.
(1) For the purpose of this § 139-18, an enlargement of any building or a change in use of
a building, which increases the parking requirements beyond what currently exists, shall
require the provision of off-street parking for the existing building as if it were newly
constructed.
(2) When a lot is used for more than one use, parking requirements shall be computed for
each use.
(23) Where the computation of required parking space results in a fractional number, only
the fraction of .50 or more shall be counted as one.
(4) Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the principal
or accessory use they are required to serve.
(5) Parking upon a lot shall be located entirely within delineated parking areas.
Delineated shall mean, for the purposes of this sub-section, a parking area defined by
edging or surface material so that it can be differentiated from surrounding yard or
landscaped areas. Continuous use of landscaped areas to meet parking needs shall be
deemed a change of use and may require additional screening as noted in this sub-
section;
(36) Head-in, ninety-degree parking spaces and forty-five degree parking spaces shall not
be less than 9 feet in width and 20 feet in length. The required length for parallel parking
spaces shall not be less than 23 20 feet. For residential parking only, one required
parking space may be reduced to a minimum dimension of 7 feet in width and 17 feet in
length.
(7) Parking areas containing 5 or more spaces required for a commercial use shall be so
arranged as not to require backing of vehicles onto any street or way.
Page 102
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
(48) Stacked or tandem parking spaces are allowed for residential uses only., provided
that no more than 4 four spaces are so arranged in this manner. Only one tandem parking
space or part thereof, per row, shall be allowed within the front yard setback. Tandem
spaces shall be subject to § 139-20.1B(2)(h) and shall not extend for greater than two
spaces in depth or width as illustrated in Plate 3.1 below.
(5) Aisle Width. For lots containing one or more commercial uses, aisle width shall not be
less than 24 20 feet for ninety-degree parking, 15 feet for forty-five-degree parking (angle
shall be measured between center line of parking space and center line of aisle), and 12
feet for parallel parking. Aisle width requirements shall not apply to residential uses
except for lots containing multi-family or duplex dwelling units, in which case a minimum
aisle width of 12 feet shall apply for ninety-degree, forty-five degree, and parallel parking.
(6) When one building is used for more than one use, parking requirements shall be
computed for each use.
(7) Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the principal
or accessory use they are required to serve.
B. Relief from parking requirements by special permit.
(1) When practical difficulties prevent locating the required off-street parking spaces on
the same lot with the uses requiring them, the special permit granting authority having
jurisdiction may, by special permit, may issue a special permit to allow the use of off-site
premises to meet all or a portion of the required off-street parking by lease, easement or
ownership.
(2) Relief from any parking requirement of this chapter, except for § 139-18B(1) and
§ 139-18B(4), may be secured through the issuance of a special permit issued by the

special permit granting authority having jurisdiction, provided that such authority makes
the following findings:
(a) That the granting of such special permit is in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of this chapter; and
(b) That compliance with the parking requirements of this § 139-18 would:
[1] Be physically impossible for the applicant to provide, or
[2] If physically practical, have a significant and adverse effect on the scenic or
historic integrity of the neighborhood; or
[3] Be contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations.
(3) The Core District and the Resident Parking District shall be as shown on the
Nantucket Parking District Map dated April 7, 1999, on file in the office of the Town Clerk.
(4) For properties located in the LUG-1, LUG-2, LUG-3 and MMD Zoning Districts, special
permit relief shall be limited to a waiver of not more than 30% of the spaces required
under the provisions of § 139-18.
C. Large parking areas. (See also § 139-19 below.) For parking areas of five spaces or
more on a lot, the following shall apply:
(1) Parking spaces (other than those for single- and two-family dwellings) shall be so
arranged as not to require backing of vehicles onto any street or way used by the public.
(2) Egress shall be designed so as to provide a safe and unobstructed view of traffic in
each travel direction.

§ 139-20.1. Driveway access.
A. Purpose. This § 139-20.1 regulating driveway access is enacted under the authority of
MGL c. 40A for the purposes of protecting the safety and general welfare of the inhabitants
of the Town of Nantucket, by the creation of standards, guidelines and regulatory and
administrative processes governing the creation of driveway access within all zoning
districts.
B. Regulation of driveway access. No building permit in connection with a building or use
which creates a new driveway access onto a public right-of-way, or private right-of-way
intended for public use, shall be issued, nor use established, until such driveway access has
been approved by the Nantucket Department of Public Works (DPW), as complying with the
requirements of § 139-20.1B(2). This requirement may be waived for individual driveway
accesses on lots shown on a definitive subdivision which has been endorsed by the
Planning Board pursuant to the Subdivision Control Law, MGL c. 41, § 81K et seq., and for
which a certification by the DPW has been received by the Planning Board that the driveway
accesses within the subdivision comply with the requirements of § 139-20.1B(2).
(1) No more than one driveway access shall be allowed on a lot. However, the Planning
Board may grant a waiver to allow two or more driveway accesses in accordance with
§ 139-20.1C.
(2) Minimum driveway standards associated with driveway accesses. No request for
approval of a driveway access permit shall be approved unless the driveway complies
with the following minimum standards, except as otherwise required by applicable law:

stormwater runoff, and soil, stones, or other debris, onto or within the intersecting right-
of-way.
(b) No driveway access shall be located closer than 25 feet from the curbline of an
intersecting street, measured from the nearest point of the driveway.
(c) Driveways shall be constructed with a slope not exceeding 12% at their intersection
with the street. The DPW may approve a greater slope based on a finding that a lesser
slope is infeasible due to the topography or other natural characteristics of the site, and
the driveway is designed using sound engineering practice.
(d) Any new or modified driveways intersecting with a public or private paved road shall
have a cobblestone, Bbelgium Bblock, concrete, brick, or asphalt apron, or other hard
surface material with a flared width of not less than 15 feet,. and a The apron shall
extend across the entire width of the driveway and shall have a minimum depth of 10
feet behind the edge of pavement of no less than 10 feet.
Page 112
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting Warrant with Finance Committee Motions
(e) Any areas disturbed in connection with the construction of the driveway shall be
stabilized to prevent erosion and sedimentation of the subject property, adjacent
property, and of the intersecting street. Adjoining drainage structures shall be protected
from sedimentation. Disturbed areas shall be loamed and seeded immediately following
construction, or temporary erosion control measures used outside of the growing
season.
(f) Any driveway accesses onto a state highway are subject to the regulations and
standards of the Massachusetts Highway Department.
(gf) The width of driveway accesses shall be measured at the limit of the traveled way
within the street right-of-way. Residential driveway accesses shall be cleared free of
vegetation and obstruction to a minimum width of 12 feet and a height of 13 feet along a
driveway constructed to a minimum of 10 feet in width wide and a maximum of 15 feet
in width wide, excluding corner rounding which may have maximum radius of two2 feet.
A residential driveway access not exceeding twenty20 feet in width (excluding corner
rounding with a maximum radius of two feet) may be allowed subject to its conformance
with standards shown in Plate 2(g.1) and subject to conditions set forth in Subsection
B(2)(h) below.
a. Driveway width for commercial uses shall be a minimum of 12 feet and a
maximum of 30 feet, excluding corner roundings which may have a maximum
radius of 5 feet.
b. Driveway access for residential uses shall be cleared free of vegetation and
obstruction to a minimum width of 12 feet and a minimum height of 13 feet. The
travelled surface of the driveway shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width and a
maximum of 15 feet in width, excluding corner rounding which may have
maximum radius of 2 feet. A residential driveway access not exceeding 20 feet in
width (excluding corner rounding with a maximum radius of 2 feet) may be
allowed subject to its conformance with standards as shown in Option 1, below,
and subject to conditions set forth in Subsection B(2)(g) below. In the R-5 district
only, 2 such driveways may be constructed on a single lot provided that the
driveways are separated by at least 5 feet of landscaping or walkway as shown in
Option 2, below,. Tandem parking extensions to any such driveway configuration
as shown in Options 3 and 4, below, may be allowed through the issuance of a
special permit by the Planning Board.

driveway access. However, the Planning Board may approve separate access for such
dwellings on lots that are not expressly permitted two driveway accesses pursuant to
§ 139-20.1B(1), upon a finding made during the review of secondary dwelling
applications in accordance with Section 3.06 of the Rules and Regulations Governing
the Subdivision of Land that the separate access would not have a significant and
adverse effect on the scenic or historic integrity of the neighborhood, and that separate
access is not contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations and combined access
is infeasible due to physical constraints or barriers on the property, including, but not
limited to, topography or natural vegetation. Access to secondary dwellings shall be
Page 117

issuance of any building permits. Evidence of such recording shall be submitted to the
Building Commissioner or Building Inspector with any building permit application for any
of the lots subject to an easement or easements.
(b) Ownership and maintenance of a common driveway shall be assured through a
restrictive covenant, which binds current and future owners of each lot served by the
common driveway, to the responsibility for maintenance, repair, and reconstruction of
the common driveway. The language contained in the covenant shall include provisions
for the maintenance, repair, and reconstruction of the common driveway and its
drainage system, as appropriate; provision for the allocation of financial responsibility;
and a procedure for the resolution of disputes.The covenant shall be recorded in the
Registry of Deeds, reference to which shall be incorporated in the deed for each lot
served by the common driveway.

common access in connection with any subdivision approved in accordance with the
Board's "Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land."
C. Waivers. The Planning Board may grant a waiver to any of the requirements of this
§ 139-20.1 through the granting of a special permit, provided that, in addition to finding that
the requirements of § 139-30 have been satisfied, the Board finds that the granting of the
special permit would not have a significant and adverse effect on the scenic or historic
integrity of the neighborhood, and is not contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations.

finds that such change, extension or alteration extension, alteration, or change shall not be
substantially more detrimental than the existing nonconforming structure and/or use to the
neighborhood; or
(b) A special permit supported by such finding is granted. The Zoning Administrator or
the special permit granting authority finds that the alteration, extension, or change to a
structure does not increase its nonconforming nature and does not create any new
nonconformities; or
(c) A Zoning Enforcement Officer determines through a review of the building permit
application that the extension, alteration, or change to the nonconforming structure is compliant
with all dimensional requirements of this chapter.

parking district.
B. Public hearing. In order to adopt such an amendment to the map, the Board of Selectmen
shall hold a public hearing pursuant to Chapter 2 (Administrative Procedures) of the Town

C. Required findings. In order to adopt an amendment to the Parking District Map, the Board of
Selectmen shall first determine that the adoption of the amendment will further the purposes of
§ 103-2. make the following findings as part of its decision:
(1) That the street is directly connected to a street which is already part of a district.
(2) That, in the case of additions to the Resident Parking Permit District, the street in question

neighborhood, which causes a parking hardship for those living on the street during the
summer.
(3) That the adoption of the amendment will further the purposes of the article outlined in §
103-2.
D. Notice to residents affected. In amendments involving changes to the Resident Parking
Permit District, at least 15 days prior to becoming effective, notice shall be sent to each owner

for. Permits are not transferable from one vehicle to another under any circumstances.
Resident parking permits shall be valid for one summer season only. New permits must be
secured in the same manner as specified above each season. Permits not properly displayed
shall be considered invalid.
§ 103-7. Temporary permits.
A. Temporary permits for licensed guesthouses and hotels. Licensed guesthouses and hotels
located in the Core District or Resident Parking Permit District shall be issued, upon application
by the owner or his agent and the payment of a fee of $50 per permit, a fixed number of
reusable, transferable parking permit placards. Permit placards shall be issued at the rate of
one placard for each three guest rooms, less the number of off-street parking spaces normally

the establishment and shall not be deemed valid when improperly displayed or displayed in
vehicles of employees or others not temporarily residing in the guesthouse or hotel.
Replacement of lost or stolen guesthouse or hotel placards shall be granted upon payment of a
replacement fee of $10 per placard and upon the reporting of the number of the placard so lost
or stolen.

Planning Board Report
PLANNING BOARD REPORT
Chapter 40A, section 5 of the Massachusetts General Laws authorizes the Planning Board
(hereafter the Board) to issue an advisory report to Town Meeting. Although a motion for
Articles 35 through 68 is printed in the Warrant, this report provides additional information to
help voters understand the basis for each motion. In an effort to provide better information
about the planning process, the Board feels it is important to add this report and a glossary to
the Warrant. The Board is guided by the approved Master Plan, unanimously accepted by
Town Meeting in April of 2009 1
. Overall, the Board’s motions are consistent with the goals and
policies of the Master Plan and they represent a balanced approach to guiding the community’s
future physical development. The information on each article is as follows:
Articles 36 through 43, 45, and 49 through 60 are Zoning Map changes sponsored by the
Planning Board and Article 44 is citizen sponsored. In their development and review, the
Board considered compliance with the Master Plan, including, but not limited to, such policies
as:
Advancing Master Plan actions identified in the “Zoning District Implementation
Schedule”2
Matching zoning districts with the character of the surrounding area
. 3
Phasing out certain zoning districts
4
Fostering the creation of area plans and removing commercial zoning from
exclusively residential areas
5
Encouraging small neighborhood centers with mixed-use development
6
Addressing issues in 4 of 18 identified Planning Areas
7
The Board only recommended articles that either advance or compliment policy and
implementation goals. Overall, the proposed map changes match the existing character of the
area with the designated zoning districts, remove commercial development potential in
exclusively residential areas, and focus and preserve commercial development and uses in
appropriate areas.
Several articles were not recommended including 44, a citizen sponsored article that generated
controversy and opposition, 53 (referred for study) and 59, (involving erosion damaged
property in Siasconset). Portions of other articles were referred to the NP&EDC’s area plan
process for further study/recommendations including 36, 37, 38 (Brant Point), 43 (Mid-Island)
and 52, 53, 54 (Surfside).
Articles 35, 46, 47, 48 and 61 through 68 are Zoning Bylaw amendments.

Planning Board Report
Article 35 adopts new FEMA maps as part of the national flood insurance program. Its passage
is essential to preserve the Town’s eligibility to participate.
Citizen-sponsored Articles 46 and 48 and Planning Board sponsored corrective Article 47 are
related to proposed development in the Naushop Area Plan boundary at Old South Road and
Lovers Lane. These articles are not recommended as requested by the sponsors, for further
due diligence.
Planning Board sponsored Articles 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 67 and 68 and citizen sponsored Article
66 have direct and indirect Master Plan relevance and they were supported by the Planning
Board for valid planning or common sense practice.
Article 61 updates language of the Public Wellhead Recharge District (PWRD).
Parking, driveway, screening and off-street loading section changes are in Article 62. The
article is part simplification/reorganization/removing duplicative language of other sections and
includes substantive changes including:
• Removing parking requirements in the Commercial-Downtown (CDT) zoning district.
• Expanding parking options in the Residential-5 (R-5) zoning district.
Article 63 changes the Secondary Lot provision of the bylaw, aligning the permitting process to
one board, eliminating the option from zoning districts being phased out and other
clarifications.
Articles 64 and 65 clarify language regarding “grandfathered” uses, structures and lots.
Citizen sponsored Article 66 amends the definition of apartments in mixed use commercial
buildings to allow a portion of first floors to be used as residences, which was modified by the
Planning Board to limit apartment use to no more than 50% and not facing front elevations to
preserve street level commercial activity.
Articles 67 and 68 have straightforward changes to uses and technical matters.
The Planning Board recognizes the hard work of its staff, the active participation by citizens,
and appreciates the thoughtful review of these articles by Town Meeting voters. If you have
questions or concerns about the zoning articles, we encourage you to seek answers in
advance of Town Meeting from individual Board members or contact PLUS staff at 508-325-
7587.

Zoning Article Glossary
Spot Zoning – the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court found that spot zoning occurs where
one lot or a small area has been singled out for treatment less onerous than that imposed upon
nearby, indistinguishable properties. The Court of Appeals has found that spot zoning arises
“where a zoning change is designed solely for the economic benefit of the owner of the
property receiving special treatment and is not in accordance with a well considered plan for
the public welfare.” (Source: Massachusetts Municipal Association)
“In assessing spot zoning challenges, it is quite proper to consider the effect of the zoning
change on the municipality as a whole. The court now favors a balancing test to assess a spot
zoning challenge. This is especially important where the growth of the municipality has been
addressed by a plan.” Challenges alleging spot zoning have a heavy burden of proof, as great
weight is given to validity arising from the Town Meeting process. The total area being
rezoned is only important where it is not
Country Overlay District (COD) – a zoning overlay district encompassing those areas not
included in the Town Overlay District. The purpose of the COD is to preserve areas
characterized by traditional and historic rural land use patterns and to discourage the spread of
dispersed development patterns that promote automobile dependency. (Source: Chapter 139
of the Code of the Town of Nantucket, section 12F)
an extension of a district by the inclusion of border
lots. Generally, newly established zoning areas greater than two acres are not considered to
be a spot zone. (Source: Bobrowski, Mark “Handbook of Massachusetts Land Use and
Planning Law” pages 91through 95)
Town Overlay District (TOD) – a zoning overlay district encompassing those areas not included
in the Country Overlay District. The purpose of the TOD is to encourage development within
an area where infrastructure already exists or can be extended without undue expense, to
create opportunities to produce affordable housing for year-round residents through in-fill
development and to create development patterns that are conducive to service by alternatives
to the automobile, such as transit, bicycle, and pedestrian systems. (Source: Chapter 139 of
the Code of the Town of Nantucket, section 12E)
Special Permit – requires a super-majority (4 out of 5 members in favor) vote of the special
permit granting authority. Special permits may impose conditions, safeguards, and limitations
intended to ensure that the use or structure is in harmony with the general purpose and intent
of the Zoning Bylaw. (Source: Chapter 139 of the Code of the Town of Nantucket, section 30)
Accessory Use – separate structures, buildings or uses which are subordinate and customarily
incidental to a principal structure, building or use located on the same lot. Accessory uses
shall not be construed to include a building or structure used in whole or in part for human
habitation. (Source: Chapter 139 of the Code of the Town of Nantucket, section 2)
Public Wellhead Recharge District (PWRD) - an overlay district covering a portion of the center
of the Island where subsurface water resources (aquifer) are located and drawn for the public
water supply. The purpose of the PWRD’s regulations is to “preserve the quality and quantity of
the Town’s groundwater resources in order to insure a safe and healthy public water supply.”

Area Plan Process - the Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission
(NP&EDC) has developed a participatory process to foster and facilitate the implementation of
the land use and other relevant sections of the 2009 Master Plan. The areas are designated,

2. By inserting a new section 12L as follows:
139-12(L) Old South Commercial Overlay District. The purpose of the Old South Commercial
Overlay District (OSCOD) is to advance the following objectives in the area located on either
side of Old South Road, in the vicinity of its intersections with Lover’s Lane and Goldfinch
Drive: 1. to promote consistency and quality in the planning and siting of commercial
(particularly retail) uses and buildings, streetscape improvements, and infrastructure
improvements related thereto; 2. to enhance safety to pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists in
the area; 3. to mitigate traffic congestion, particularly by diverting and dispersing traffic that
would otherwise concentrate in the downtown and mid-island areas; and, 4. to promote
economic vitality; all in accordance with the general guidance of the Naushop Crossing Area
Plan (NCAP), adopted by the Planning & Economic Development Commission on March 3,
2014, on file in the office of the Nantucket Planning & Economic Development Commission.
The OSCOD is located and bounded as shown on the following maps adopted by reference
herein: “Old South Commercial Overlay District,” January, 2014. The overlay district, as shown
on said map shall be considered an overlay district to be superimposed on the Zoning Map of
Nantucket, Massachusetts.
(1) Allowed uses:
(a) All uses allowed by right on the lot within the underlying district in which the land is
located.
(2) Uses by special permit:
Page 30
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting and Election Warrant
(a) All uses permitted on the lot requiring a special permit within the underlying district in
which the lot is located.
(b) Any building(s) devoted primarily to retail use, in excess of 20,000 square feet of
ground cover, as defined in the provisions of 139-2, up to a maximum of 45,000
square feet of ground cover, as defined in the provisions of 139-2, and as permitted
in accordance with the provisions of 139-11.K(2).
(3) Prohibited uses:
(a) All uses prohibited on the lot within the underlying district in which the land is located.
(4) Additional development requirements within the OSCOD:
(a) The Planning Board shall be the special permit granting authority for all commercial
uses requiring a special permit within the OSCOD.
(b) No buildings devoted primarily to retail use or portions of buildings devoted primarily
to retail use within the OSCOD in excess of 10,000 square feet of ground cover shall
be located within one hundred (100) feet of the Old South Road right of way.
(c) No buildings devoted primarily to retail use within the OSCOD shall be permitted on
a lot which is comprised of less than 10,000 square feet of land area.
(d) The intensity of any buildings devoted primarily to retail use in excess of 10,000
square feet of ground cover within the OSCOD shall be limited to a ratio of not more
than 10,000 square feet of ground cover, or fraction thereof, for every 40,000 square
feet of land area, or fraction thereof.
(e) Buildings devoted primarily to retail use in excess of 20,000 square feet of ground
cover shall be permitted within the OSCOD, but only to the extent permitted and as
set forth in Section 139-11K(2).
(f) In considering the approval of any use or expansion within the OSCOD which is
subject to the issuance of a special permit and / or major site plan review, the
Planning Board may require an applicant to install improvements within the public
right-of-way along the frontage of the property controlled by the applicant in
accordance with the Naushop Crossing Area Plan (NCAP). Off-site improvements
(i.e., beyond the frontage of the property) may be required for special permit uses to
the extent that the demand for the improvements is justified by the nature and
intensity of the use. For major traffic generators, these improvements may include
bike path, road, and intersection improvements.
(g) The Planning Board, as special permit granting authority, shall have the power to
grant a special permit reducing the open area requirements under either § 139-11G
or § 139-16E, whichever is applicable, and notwithstanding the provisions of § 139-
16E(3), provided that it makes the finding that the applicant has provided sufficient
Page 31
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting and Election Warrant
and appropriate landscaping, and further provided that it makes the finding that the
benefits to the community and the neighborhood from the reduction of open area
requirements, as conditioned by the decision granting the special permit, will
outweigh the benefits that would be derived from the provision of the open area
requirements as would otherwise be required. The Planning Board may impose
reasonable conditions for the granting of such a special permit, including but not
limited to the substitution of off-site landscaping elements, and requirements for the
permanent maintenance of landscaping features within the site by the applicant and
its successors.
(5) Additional design standards within the OSCOD:
(a) The following design standards, which were included as recommendations in the
Naushop Crossing Area Plan (NCAP), shall apply to future commercial development
in applicable areas of the OSCOD, where such development directly abuts a
residential property:
i. No single commercial building (or portion of any single commercial building)
located within one hundred (100) feet of any directly abutting residential
property shall exceed 10,000 square feet of ground cover.
ii. Commercial buildings located within one hundred (100) feet of any directly
abutting residential property shall be screened with fencing and/or densely
planted landscaping, in order to minimize their impact on such property.
iii. A twenty (20) foot wide densely planted “no build” setback area from a
property line shall be maintained between commercial properties and any
directly abutting residential property. Allowed within this “no build” setback
area shall include utilities and fencing, vegative or man-made screening,
plantings, or landscape features. The Planning Board may waive or modify
these requirements provided a finding is made that the proposed use is a
small scale commercial businesses, such as offices, personal services or
other commercial uses compatible with residential uses.
iv. Dense vegetative screening shall be maintained between large scale
commercial uses and residential property, and additionally may include solid
board fencing, subject to approval by the Nantucket Historic District
Commission (HDC).
v. Commercial parking areas located within one hundred (100) feet of any
directly abutting residential property shall be screened with densely planted
landscaping and/or fencing, in order to minimize the impact upon such
property. Commercial parking areas should also be paved, to reduce noise
and dust impacts.
vi. Loading and service related functions of large commercial businesses shall
be oriented away from and not opposite of the directly abutting residential
Page 32
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting and Election Warrant
property, in order to minimize impacts. Commercial loading and service
related functions for smaller businesses should be shared, to the extent
possible, in order to minimize disturbance to residential property.
vii. Loading and service related functions of all commercial buildings shall be
located in the rear and or side(s) of the respective buildings, and should also,
to the extent possible, be located the furthest distance away from the directly
abutting residential property to minimize disturbances.
viii. Lighting fixtures for commercial uses shall be shielded and directed to avoid
the “spillage” of light or glare to adjoining properties. The design and height of
such lighting should be in keeping with “Building with Nantucket in Mind”
specifically the section entitled “New Commercial Design: Exterior Details”.
Appropriate street lighting should be installed along Old South Road to
increase visibility and safety at entrances and access points;
ix. Exterior lighting should also comply with Chapter 102 (Outdoor Lighting) of
the Code of the Town of Nantucket. Further, small scale lighting, designed to
focus light where it is needed on targeted areas, rather than the utilization of
more standard “security” lighting that frequently provides excess lighting
beyond what is needed for safety and security, is encouraged.
x. Bike paths, walking paths, and sidewalks to connect commercial
developments with residential neighborhoods and public and private rights of
way are encouraged. Bicycle and pedestrian access should be encouraged
as a means of reducing vehicular traffic impacts; and
xi. Efforts shall be made to retrofit existing multi-use paths and construct new
multi-use paths incorporating design elements and other means of minimizing
potential conflicts between vehicles and bicyclists. These elements may
include the use of reflectors, lighting, textured paving, and tactile warning
strips leading up intersections with roadways. Implementation of grade
separations at major crossings or intersections, where subsurface conditions
allow, and where the intensity of use by bicyclists warrant these types of
improvements, should be explored, where feasible.

ARTICLE 62
(Zoning Bylaw Amendment: Parking, Driveways, Screening, Off-Street Loading)
To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 139 (Zoning) of the Code of the Town of
Nantucket, as follows (NOTE: new language is shown as highlighted text, language to be
deleted is shown by strikeout; these methods to denote changes are not meant to become part
of the final text and, further, that non-substantive changes to the numbering of this bylaw be
permitted in order that it be in compliance with the numbering format of the Code of the Town
of Nantucket):
1. To amend section 18 as follows:
A. Except in the CDT district, Nno land shall be used and no building or structure shall be
erected, enlarged or used unless the off-street parking space requirements are met as
specified in this § 139-18.
(1) For the purpose of this § 139-18, an enlargement of any building or a change in use of
a building, which increases the parking requirements beyond what currently exists, shall
require the provision of off-street parking for the existing building as if it were newly
constructed.
(2) When one building is used for more than one use, parking requirements shall be
computed for each use.
(23) Where the computation of required parking space results in a fractional number, only
the fraction of .50 or more shall be counted as one.
(4) Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the principal
or accessory use they are required to serve.
(5) Parking upon a lot shall be located entirely within delineated parking areas.
Delineated shall mean, for the purposes of this sub-section, a parking area defined by
edging or surface material so that it can be easily differentiated from surrounding yard or
landscaped areas. Continuous use of landscaped areas to meet parking needs shall be
Page 47
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting and Election Warrant
deemed a change of use and may require additional screening as noted in this sub-
section;
(36) Head-in, ninety-degree parking spaces and forty-five degree parking spaces shall not
be less than 9 feet in width and 20 18 feet in length. The required length for parallel
parking spaces shall not be less than 23 20 feet. For residential parking only, one required
parking space may be reduced to a minimum dimension of 7 feet in width and 17 feet in
length.
(7) Commercial parking areas containing 5 or more spaces shall be so arranged as not to
require backing of vehicles onto any street or way.
(48) Stacked or tandem parking spaces are allowed for residential uses only., provided
that no more than 4 four spaces are so arranged in this manner. Only one tandem parking
space or part thereof, per row, shall be allowed within the front yard setback. Tandem
spaces shall be subject to § 139-20.1B(2)(h) and shall not extend for greater than two
spaces in depth or width as illustrated in Plate 3.1 below.
(5) Aisle Width. For lots containing one or more commercial uses, aisle width shall not be
less than 24 20 feet for ninety-degree parking, 15 feet for forty-five-degree parking (angle
shall be measured between center line of parking space and center line of aisle), and 12
feet for parallel parking. Aisle width requirements shall not apply to residential uses
except for lots containing multi-family or duplex dwelling units, in which case a minimum
aisle width of 12 feet shall apply for ninety-degree, forty-five degree, and parallel parking.
(6) When one building is used for more than one use, parking requirements shall be
computed for each use.

(7) Required off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot as the principal
or accessory use they are required to serve.
B. Relief from parking requirements by special permit.
(1) When practical difficulties prevent locating the required off-street parking spaces on
the same lot with the uses requiring them, the special permit granting authority having
jurisdiction may, by special permit, may issue a special permit to allow the use of off-site
premises to meet all or a portion of the required off-street parking by lease, easement or
ownership.
(2) Relief from any parking requirement of this chapter, except for § 139-18B(1) and
§ 139-18B(4), may be secured through the issuance of a special permit issued by the
special permit granting authority having jurisdiction, provided that such authority makes
the following findings:
(a) That the granting of such special permit is in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of this chapter; and
(b) That compliance with the parking requirements of this § 139-18 would:
[1] Be physically impossible for the applicant to provide, or
[2] If physically practical, have a significant and adverse effect on the scenic or
historic integrity of the neighborhood; or
[3] Be contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations.
(3) The Core District and the Resident Parking District shall be as shown on the
Nantucket Parking District Map dated April 7, 1999, on file in the office of the Town Clerk.
(4) For properties located in the LUG-1, LUG-2, LUG-3 and MMD Zoning Districts, special
permit relief shall be limited to a waiver of not more than 30% of the spaces required
under the provisions of § 139-18.
C. Large parking areas. (See also § 139-19 below.) For parking areas of five spaces or more
on a lot, the following shall apply:
(1) Parking spaces (other than those for single- and two-family dwellings) shall be so
arranged as not to require backing of vehicles onto any street or way used by the public.
(2) Egress shall be designed so as to provide a safe and unobstructed view of traffic in
each travel direction.

§ 139-20.1. Driveway access.
A. Purpose. This § 139-20.1 regulating driveway access is enacted under the authority of
MGL c. 40A for the purposes of protecting the safety and general welfare of the inhabitants
of the Town of Nantucket, by the creation of standards, guidelines and regulatory and
administrative processes governing the creation of driveway access within all zoning
districts.
B. Regulation of driveway access. No building permit in connection with a building or use
which creates a new driveway access onto a public right-of-way, or private right-of-way
intended for public use, shall be issued, nor use established, until such driveway access has
been approved by the Nantucket Department of Public Works (DPW), as complying with the
requirements of § 139-20.1B(2). This requirement may be waived for individual driveway
accesses on lots shown on a definitive subdivision which has been endorsed by the
Planning Board pursuant to the Subdivision Control Law, MGL c. 41, § 81K et seq., and for
which a certification by the DPW has been received by the Planning Board that the driveway
accesses within the subdivision comply with the requirements of § 139-20.1B(2).
(1) No more than one driveway access shall be allowed on a lot. However, the Planning
Board may grant a waiver to allow two or more driveway accesses in accordance with
§ 139-20.1C.
(2) Minimum driveway standards associated with driveway accesses. No request for
approval of a driveway access permit shall be approved unless the driveway complies
with the following minimum standards, except as otherwise required by applicable law:
(a) Driveways shall be designed and constructed so as not to result in the direction of
stormwater runoff, and soil, stones, or other debris, onto or within the intersecting right-
of-way.
(b) No driveway access shall be located closer than 25 feet from the curbline of an
intersecting street, measured from the nearest point of the driveway.
(c) Driveways shall be constructed with a slope not exceeding 12% at their intersection
with the street. The DPW may approve a greater slope based on a finding that a lesser
slope is infeasible due to the topography or other natural characteristics of the site, and
the driveway is designed using sound engineering practice.
(d) Any new or modified driveways intersecting with a paved road shall have a
cobblestone, Bbelgium Bblock, concrete, brick, or asphalt apron with a flared width of
Page 57
Town of Nantucket 2014 Annual Town Meeting and Election Warrant
not less than 15 feet,. and a The apron shall extend across the entire width of the
driveway and shall have a minimum depth of 10 feet behind the edge of pavement of no
less than 10 feet.
(e) Any areas disturbed in connection with the construction of the driveway shall be
stabilized to prevent erosion and sedimentation of the subject property, adjacent
property, and of the intersecting street. Adjoining drainage structures shall be protected
from sedimentation. Disturbed areas shall be loamed and seeded immediately following
construction, or temporary erosion control measures used outside of the growing
season.
(f) Any driveway accesses onto a state highway are subject to the regulations and
standards of the Massachusetts Highway Department.
(gf) The width of driveway accesses shall be measured at the limit of the traveled way
within the street right-of-way. Residential driveway accesses shall be cleared free of
vegetation and obstruction to a minimum width of 12 feet and a height of 13 feet along a
driveway constructed to a minimum of 10 feet in width wide and a maximum of 15 feet
in width wide, excluding corner rounding which may have maximum radius of two2 feet.
A residential driveway access not exceeding twenty20 feet in width (excluding corner
rounding with a maximum radius of two feet) may be allowed subject to its conformance
with standards shown in Plate 2(g.1) and subject to conditions set forth in Subsection
B(2)(h) below.
a. Commercial driveway width shall be a minimum of 12 feet and a maximum of
30 feet, excluding corner roundings which may have a maximum radius of 5 feet.
b. Residential driveway access shall be cleared free of vegetation and obstruction
to a minimum width of 12 feet and a minimum height of 13 feet. The travelled
surface of the driveway shall be a minimum of 10 feet in width and a maximum of
15 feet in width, excluding corner rounding which may have maximum radius of 2
feet. A residential driveway access not exceeding 20 feet in width (excluding
corner rounding with a maximum radius of 2 feet) may be allowed subject to its
conformance with standards shown in Plate 2(g.1) and subject to conditions set
forth in Subsection B(2)(g) below. In the R-5 district only, 2 such driveways may
be constructed on a single lot provided that the driveways are separated by at
least 5 feet of landscaping or walkway. Tandem parking extensions to any such
driveway configuration may be allowed through the issuance of a special permit
by the Planning Board.

(ih) All secondary dwellings approved by the Planning Board shall have a combined
driveway access. However, the Planning Board may approve separate access for such
dwellings on lots that are not expressly permitted two driveway accesses pursuant to
§ 139-20.1B(1), upon a finding made during the review of secondary dwelling
applications in accordance with Section 3.06 of the Rules and Regulations Governing
the Subdivision of Land that the separate access would not have a significant and
adverse effect on the scenic or historic integrity of the neighborhood, and that separate
access is not contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations and combined access
is infeasible due to physical constraints or barriers on the property, including, but not
limited to, topography or natural vegetation. Access to secondary dwellings shall be
clear of obstructions or vegetation to a width of 12 feet and a height of 13 feet along a
driveway with a minimum improved width of 10 feet.
(3) Common driveways. No common driveway shall be created for shared access by two
2 or more lots, unless they shall comply with the requirements of this section.

running with the land in perpetuity, and providing for maintenance, repair, and
reconstruction of the driveway and any associated drainage by parties in interest, are
shall be executed by the owners, and recorded in the Registry of Deeds prior to the
issuance of any building permits. Evidence of such recording shall be submitted to the
Building Commissioner or Building Inspector with any building permit application for any
of the lots subject to an easement or easements.
(b) Ownership and maintenance of a common driveway shall be assured through a
restrictive covenant, which binds current and future owners of each lot served by the
common driveway, to the responsibility for maintenance, repair, and reconstruction of
the common driveway. The language contained in the covenant shall include provisions
for the maintenance, repair, and reconstruction of the common driveway and its
drainage system, as appropriate; provision for the allocation of financial responsibility;
and a procedure for the resolution of disputes.The covenant shall be recorded in the
Registry of Deeds, reference to which shall be incorporated in the deed for each lot
served by the common driveway.
(c) Nothing in this section will conflict with the powers of the Planning Board to require
common access in connection with any subdivision approved in accordance with the
Board's "Rules and Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land."
C. Waivers. The Planning Board may grant a waiver to any of the requirements of this
§ 139-20.1 through the granting of a special permit, provided that, in addition to finding that
the requirements of § 139-30 have been satisfied, the Board finds that the granting of the
special permit would not have a significant and adverse effect on the scenic or historic
integrity of the neighborhood, and is not contrary to sound traffic and safety considerations.

neighborhood, which causes a parking hardship for those living on the street during the
summer.
(3) That the adoption of the amendment will further the purposes of the article outlined in §
103-2.
D. Notice to residents affected. In amendments involving changes to the Resident Parking
Permit District, at least 15 days prior to becoming effective, notice shall be sent to each owner
of property abutting the street or streets so affected, stating that the occupants of that

apply to vehicles properly displaying valid resident parking permits.
B. Core District. Parking restrictions in the Core District shall be from 15 minutes to one hour,
at the discretion of the Board of Selectmen, which shall cause parking signs to be posted in the
district indicating these restrictions. These restrictions shall apply to all vehicles, including
those with valid parking stickers.

A. Qualifications for issuance. Resident parking permits shall be issued upon payment of the
applicable fee which shall be determined by the Board of Selectmen to owners of vehicles who
own or rent dwellings which front on streets included in the Resident Parking Permit District or

secured in the same manner as specified above each season. Permits not properly displayed
shall be considered invalid.
§ 103-7. Temporary permits.
A. Temporary permits for licensed guesthouses and hotels. Licensed guesthouses and hotels
located in the Core District or Resident Parking Permit District shall be issued, upon application
by the owner or his agent and the payment of a fee of $50 per permit, a fixed number of

Guide to Writing a Citizen Warrant Article
The Town of Nantucket has a healthy tradition of citizen-submitted warrant articles for town meetings.
Per Massachusetts General Law (Ch. 39, s. 10), citizen articles require the signatures of 10 registered
voters (registered in the Town of Nantucket) for an annual town meeting and 100 registered voters (or
10% of registered voters whichever is less – generally 100 is less) for special town meetings. The Board
of Selectmen generally “opens” the warrant to citizen articles within a certain time frame prior to a
town meeting in order to allow citizens time to submit articles. Well in advance of the town meeting,
the Board endorses a timeline prepared by Town Administration which is meant to contain what actions
are to be held leading up to the town meeting, including meetings, hearings, notices, publications. The
Town of Nantucket has taken the unusual step of providing legal assistance in the preparation of citizen
warrant articles. The timeline will contain when the legal assistance is available. Generally it is between
2-4 weeks prior to the deadline for citizen article submittals. The timeline for Annual Town Meetings
may be found on the Town website www.nantucket-ma.gov under the “Town Meetings” link. We
encourage citizens to take advantage of this unique opportunity for special assistance. Sample warrant
article formats are attached.
When your warrant article is ready to be submitted, please proceed as follows:
1. Obtain the required number of signatures. Your article will not be accepted without valid
signatures of the required number of voters registered in Nantucket. You may obtain more
signatures than required, but not less. Please make sure the signatures are legible and that the
names are legibly printed next to the signature. The first signature on the warrant article will
become the sponsor of the article. It is best to be sure that signature is that of someone who
can represent and speak to the article.
2. Submit your article to the Town Administration office, where it will be stamped in as “Received”,
it will then be handed back to you for submittal to the Town Clerk’s office, where you may then
submit it.
3. If at all possible, please provide your article to the Town Administration office in MS Word
format.
Some things to remember when preparing your warrant article:
1. Your article will be printed in the warrant “as is”. This means that any spelling, grammatical,
punctuation or typographical errors will be printed in the town meeting warrant document.
2. You may be asked a lot of questions about your article by the various boards/committees/town
agencies that may be reviewing it. Most likely, these questions will be coming from the Finance
Committee, Board of Selectmen or Planning Board (if it is a zoning article). It is recommended
that you “do your homework” on the article and attend the meetings that are held about it. The
attached “Basic Information Request for Town Meeting Appropriation Articles” has been
developed to assist you with information that the Finance Committee and/or Board of
Selectmen is likely to want if you are seeking town funds.
3. If your warrant article is something that would normally go through a Town process, such as a
capital item, you may ultimately be referred back to the Board of Selectmen to seek its
concurrence for the item to go through that process. For example, if you are proposing to fund a
bike path project that has not gone through the Town’s review process (which can be quite
lengthy) you may find that Town agencies and departments recommend against such a
proposal until it has gone through that process. The reason for this is that annually the Town
prepares a list of capital projects that will go through a rigorous review process through several
agencies and those projects will be prioritized in order of need, funding availability, legal
mandate, etc. The agencies are likely to find that your project simply does not fit in anywhere
without the established review process. You may disagree and lengthy discussions about what
is/isn’t a “priority” tend to follow. Your appointed and elected town officials are in place to
conduct reviews and make decisions and recommendations about a wide variety of projects and
must take a wider perspective perhaps than you do about your project.
Additional general information about warrant articles:
1. Depending on what your warrant is meant to achieve (ie, bylaw amendment, home rule
petition) it may require additional action from other agencies, such as the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts if it is approved at Town Meeting. Do not assume that it will go into effect
immediately upon passage.
Bylaw amendments (general and zoning): require the approval of the state Attorney General’s
office before taking effect, although there are special rules relating to the application of zoning
bylaw amendments, to specific developments.
Home rule petitions: require the approval of the state legislature (this has been known to take
years)
Financial appropriations: funding is generally available in the fiscal year specified – either the
current year or the next fiscal year beginning on July 1
2. If your warrant article is NOT recommended by the Finance Committee and you still want to
proceed with it, you will need to prepare a positive motion for it and submit it to the Moderator
in writing prior to Town Meeting. Limited assistance is available from the Town to help you with
a positive motion.
3. If you have a funding proposal, please keep in mind that Town Meeting cannot mandate the
funding for any more than the upcoming fiscal year.
