Discussion Maroney — Presented the request: change of use and remove non -conforming deck and build an addition inside the
setback.
Toole —'I he 1985 Blackwell plan doesn't show the deck; asked when it was built.
Cohen — AVe're removing the deck; we aren't arguing to keep it, so its status is moot.
Consensus ha,, no concerns about the change of use.
Botticelli — 11 looks like the addition could be redesigned to be out of the setback; the proposal puts a lot more mass
into the scrhack. -�ttggested continuing to get information on the deck.
Thayer— _Agroes «ith ifs. Botticelli; there is plenty of room to build the addition, so it doesn't encroach.
Cohen — 'I It,. finding under special permit is whether or not it is a substantial detriment; the neighbor on the side is not
objecting
Toole — "I his \yill be more detrimental by putting a structure closer to the property line and the neighbor. This could be
done h� right it the design were slightly changed.

extend to the cnd of'Iay; he will talk to them about extending it a full 20 days. This is not a leverage issue; it's an issue of

while the appiic.int may still speak to things.
P.Derensis — >ao-s this should be denied because there are no conditions that would make this work for the Island. You
have 1l' letters from the community asking this be denied. The defeat of roadwork at the ballot shows where the

the denial. I f rh,s project is approved, Tipping Point will sue the Board. The latest letter of Weston & Sampson says that
what is proposed, doesn't work; the developer has said they don't want to do what the Town is asking. There is the water
issue >tormwater; conditions as proposed by John Chessia, in his opinion, are inadequate. There are still

L.Derensis — She has asked many- questions that haven't been answered. The Town asked for an invasive species stud,
which the tpplicanr refused. Our infrastructure can't take a 92 -unit subdivision; this is bigger than we can handle. at
some point Nantucket will have to say "enough." Asked that the project be denied.
