ZBA continues 43 Union Street alteration request after tree and neighborhood concerns; committee input requested
Summary
The ZBA continued a special permit request for alterations at 43 Union Street to March 13 after tree advisory members, the Nantucket Land & Water Council and neighbors raised concerns about potential impacts to a protected town elm and other mature trees; town staff will seek input from the Tree Advisory Committee and the town arborist.
Attorney Arthur Reed, representing owner Whitney H. Matthews, requested a special permit to raise or alter a preexisting nonconforming house at 43 Union Street. The proposal would keep the existing footprint but add vertical floor area within the same footprint; no excavation for a new foundation was indicated in the application materials presented to the board.
