Should the annual base rent payable during the Additional Term not be determined before the beginning thereof, annual base rent shall continue to be paid by the Ground Tenant at the rate applicable during the initial term, and there shall be an appropriate adjustment promptly following the final determination. 15. Except as otherwise provided, a party may exercise its rights and remedies at any time, in any order, to any extent, and as often as it deems advisable. A party may exercise its rights and remedies without regard to whether the exercise of one right or remedy precedes, concurs with, or succeeds, the exercise of another. A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy shall not preclude a further exercise of the right or remedy or exercise of another right or remedy from time to time. No delay or omission in exercising a right or remedy shall exhaust or impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence to, an event of default or breach. 16.

Presentation of Sewer Enterprise Fund Report. Ms. Gibson provided background information and introduced consultant Mark Abrahams.

He noted that a significant increase would result for Sconset if assessments and user fees are imposed and that corresponding decreases in the Surfside charges for all other, non-Sconset wastewater treatment customers would follow as well. He outlined the revenue sources to finance the FY 2007 revenue requirements. Sconset resident Finn Murphy asked about FY 2007 allocations concerning construction of a sewer on the north side of Old South Road.

Barbara Gookin voiced concerns on taking sand from the shoal that could cause other impacts, stating her opinion that a letter of support from the Board would be premature at this point.

Steve Holdgate of the Nantucket Hunting Association stated that fundraisers would be planned for the clubhouse and so they would want to be able to serve liquor. He also indicated a request for a variation from the RFP for the fencing requirement. Ms. Gibson shared her recommendation as per Town Counsel to sign the lease agreement with the amendments to be addressed in a "side letter" indicating that the Board will consider waiving the fencing requirement for posting if an adequate plan is provided to the Board; and, would be amenable to permitting alcoholic beverages pursuant to a Board-approved license and the terms thereof. Phil Gallagher spoke against the potential dangers of "mixing alcohol and hunters" and discussion followed on the separation of these and on the need for fencing.

ORGANIZATIONAL INFORMATION & HISTORY The Nantucket Hunting Association Inc. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit community organization whose mission is to preserve the traditions of ethical hunting and maintain the balance of Nantucket's Wildlife resources. (See exhibit A for documentation). The Association was formed in 1997 when a group of Island resident hunters decided there was a strong needs to have an organized effort to protect and foster the traditional activities of hunting and shooting. Wildlife conservation has always been a practice that is deeply integrated with hunting; therefore it has also become a part of the Associations' mission. Since 1997, the Hunting Association has grown to approximately ## members. All our activities and projects so far have been performed by volunteers and funded by dues and donations. Some of these activities and projects include: Educational Seminars & Forums Kid Conservation Camp Sponsorships Wood Duck Nesting Box program Pheasant raise & release program Informational Brochure distribution Organized shooting events Fund Raising events Donations to other charitable organizations Controlled Deer Hunts · Including the Nantucket Conservation Foundation Ram's Pasture hunt. Sponsored Archery Hunter Education courses Hunter Education Instructors certified by the State of Massachusetts The Nantucket Hunting Association has several volunteers eager to attend classes to become NRA certified firearms instructors. An Island shooting range will allow them to maintain the certifications without having to travel to off island ranges. SECTION 2. SAFETY PLAN A multi-purpose shooting facility is a valuable asset to a community. It is a privilege for 8 Town of Nantucket April 22, 2004 community members to have a clean, organized and safe place to enjoy the shooting sports. This type of shooting atmosphere can only be maintained when a clear, and formal set of rules are communicated to and followed by all who use the facility. This set of rules needs to be specific to the uniqueness of the each shooting facility. These rules are worthless, unless there is a defined process for discipline for those who do not follow the rules. For these important reasons, the Nantucket Hunting Association will finalize and approve the first Safety Plan after the specific ranges are constructed, but before the range is open for use. The safety plan will be a dynamic document, meaning that annual reviews will be conducted and amendments will be made whenever the need is identified for improvement. A safety plan is included as Exhibit B. This Safety Plan is the initial draft for the proposed shooting facility. Some sections are incomplete at this time due to unknown conditions that will be identified at time of construction. Many resources have been utilized in creating this document, some of which include: National Rifle Association · Range Source Book · Training Department National Shooting Sports Foundation · National Association of Shooting Ranges National Sporting Clays Association . Gun Club Manual 9 Town of Nantucket April 22, 2004 SECTION 3 FACILITY DESCRIPTION Due to the many types of shooting interests on Nantucket combined with the Island's geographical isolation, a multi-use shooting facility is necessary to accommodate all interested community members. The proposed facility would include a range for hunters to practice sighting in their rifles, a pistol range for firearms marksmanship and safety training, a clay target range for the shotgun sport enthusiast, and an archery range. All of these ranges can be used for law enforcement training, safety education, competition events as well as recreational events. The facility would be available to the public under the supeNision of Club Range Safety Officers at specified times. At least two days a week and one day on the weekend will be available to the public. The ranges and clubhouse will be constructed to allow for handicap access. The Hunting Association plans to expand the hours of operation as the club grows and intends to eventually have the ability to staff a deer check station and sell state hunting licenses and permits. The majority of the land would be left in a natural state, adhering to conseNation minded land management. See Appendix C for proposed site plan. Recommended amendment to lease: The Nantucket Hunting Association strongly recommends a change to the Lease of Land under Performance Obligations of Lessee section, D. Safety e) "The Tenant will fence in the entire parcel of land before any other development of the property." The recommended change is to insert the words "or Post" after the word "fence" in sentence D.e) above. The Association's legal counsel has advised that posting of property bounds conspicuously satisfies the legal obligation to warn the public of the hazards if they trespass beyond. It is the Hunting Association's intent to fence off areas of the property bounds easily accessible by automobiles, motorcycles and pedestrians (hikers, hunters and bikers). Many areas of the parcel are well away from the shooting ranges or are thickly vegetated. With permission from adjacent landowners, the association would plan to place signs every 100 feet along the brush line in clear areas where anyone would have clear access to enter the brush line. The signs would warn of a Live Firing Range Beyond, Do Not Enter. The option of posted signs would prevent the excess clear cutting necessary to build a full fence line in the thickly brushed areas. RIFLE RANGE A rifle range allows for shooters to fire "long guns" or rifles. The proposed rifle range is 200 yards long from the shooting line to the front of the backstop. The backstop is a 20-foot high berm constructed of dirt and grass and lined beneath to stop the migration of lead deposits. Accumulated lead bullets can be removed periodically. Side berms of similar construction outline the lateral boundaries of the range. A roof-covered structurewill shelter the shooters, their firearms and equipment from the elements as well as provide added safety features to keep the fired projectiles within the range limits. The range will be constructed according to industry accepted National Rifle Association design criteria. 10 Town of Nantucket April 22, 2004 PISTOL RANGE A pistol range will be designed for shooters to fire handguns at approved targets. The design features will be the same as the rifle range. Handguns are short-range firearms therefore the length of the range will only be 50 yards long. Small bore rifles, (.22 caliber rim-fire, pellet & BB guns) would also be allowed to use this range. This range would be used for general target shooting, competition shooting, gun safety training as well as law enforcement training. This range will be constructed according to industry accepted National Rifle Association design criteria. CLAY TARGET RANGE A clay target range consists of one or more "throwing" machines called traps that launch a clay disc target through the air at different angles to the shooter to represent a bird in flight. The shooter uses a shotgun to fire at and attempt to break the clay target. Shotguns have a short effective range and shoot multiple small pellets or bb's called shot. The size of the shot size will be limited to size 7 %. Only non-toxic shot material and biodegradable clay targets will be allowed on this range. This size and type shot has a range of less than 200 yards. A 250 yard shot fall safety zone is designed as semi-circular area off limits when the range is open. This range will be constructed according to industry accepted National Rifle Association Range Manual and National Sporting Clays Association specifications. There are many types of clay target ranges. The proposed range will ultimately consist of a 5-stand Sporting Range. This type of range can consist of up to six traps and has eight shooting stations to present a large assortment of target angles to the shooters. This range can be built over time as the club grows. The range will be open for use as soon as the first trap house is installed. A single trap house is called a trap range. Two more machines will be added to each side of the range, one in a low house structure on the right and one in a high house structure on the left. This is known as a Skeet Range. More machines will be added over time as the club use increases, ARCHERY RANGE A 3D archery range will be constructed as one of the first and least expensive ranges. It will consist of an area with traditional round archery targets as well as simulated 3 dimensional game targets. This range would be available to the local school systems to use for archery classes or possibly a competition archery team. 11 Town of Nantucket April 22, 2004 CLUBHOUSE As in all recreational sports facilities a clubhouse is the hub from which all activities are administered and serves as a general meeting place for citizens with a common interest to share their enthusiasm in a particular activity. Whether it is a golf club, tennis club, or gun club, a clubhouse is essential to the continued growth of a club. As the Members and guests relax and converse after their time on the range, shared ideas turn into club improvements, idle time evolves into volunteer time and effort. The Clubhouse is also where the formal meetings of the Club's board members and committees take place and where the classrooms exist for training classes. Fund raising dinners, auctions and charity breakfast events will be held in the Clubhouse. The clubhouse is where the awards and accomplishments of its members will hang on the walls. All of these clubhouse activities will foster a feeling of ownership among the club's members. For a clubhouse to function as such an important facility command center and fund raising tool, the basic components will be included as part of the clubhouse design. 1. A main function hall 2. A kitchen area. 3. Restrooms (with at least one handicap accessible) 4. Administrative Office. 5. Equipment Storage room. 6. Classroom 7. Utility Room. Recommended amendment to lease: As part of the proposal response, the following change to the Lease is strongly suggested. Exhibit A, section F, f) of the proposed lease states "Alcoholic beverages shall not be offered or allowed on the property and are strictly prohibited". This restriction will prevent the club from conducting fund raising events in the form of dinner auctions where cocktail parties are an expected component. While it is understandable to include this restriction out of fear of mixing guns and alcohol, it is already strictly forbidden and against all rules to consume alcohol or take drugs of any kind when handling firearms. It will also be against the rules to have any alcohol present on any of the ranges. Most shooting clubs serve alcoholic beverages in the clubhouse. This facilitates a social atmosphere for members and guests to spend extra time at the facility. The more time people spend at the clubhouse engaged in casual conversations, the more likely they will sign up as a volunteer, or a guest will decide to apply for membership. The social aspect of the club is important for maintaining the high level of volunteer effort needed to sustain the normal operations of the club. An added benefit is the ability to allow the members use of the facility for private functions like weddings and birthday parties. 12 Town of Nantucket April 22, 2004 SECTION 4 SCHEDULE OF PROPOSED FACILITY PROJECT The proposed shooting facility will be constructed in phases. This will allow the facility to be utilized for shooting activities early in the development of the facility.

Several donors have indicated an interest in contributing to this project once a lease agreement has been secured for the land. The next largest amount of funding will be from Grants available through government, and industry sources. The third source of funds is from the Nantucket Hunting Association in the form of membership contributions and past fund raising events. See Exhibit E for the latest balance sheet of the Nantucket Hunting Association. The following are sources of grants that will be submitted by the Nantucket Hunting Association for the purpose of constructing a shooting facility. Division of Fisheries and Wildlife Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937 (Pittman-Robertson Act) National Rifle Association NRA Foundation Grants Hunter Services Dept. ECHO Program National Shooting Sports Foundation Hunting & Shooting Sports Heritage Fund Industry Donations United States Military Branches USCG 15 Town of Nantucket April 22, 2004 OPERATING REVENUES Mostly userfees and membership fees will generate operating funds to manage, maintain and promote the facility once it is operational. Any grants available will be utilized, including grants associated with the establishment and mainentance of an environmental stewardship plan. Fund raising events will continue to fund special projects as well as provide a source for donations to other charities. An estimated revenue forecast has been constructed using survey data from numerous shooting clubs through out the nation. The price charged per round at each range is shown for both Members and non-members. The amount of rounds shot each year is based on other clubs in the area with a population correction factor. The amount of rounds shot each year is the most uncertain variable. The estimated costs are forecasted by adding the predicted costs of range supplies, utilities, building and grounds maintenance, and part time employee payroll to existing expenses of the Nantucket Hunting Association. Membership Dues and range fees will be adjusted as needed to cover the operating cost of operating the facility. Any profits will only be retained for expenditures on future upgrades, special projects or for charitable donations. Cost Per Round Rifle/Pistol (Week / Weekend) Skeet/Trap (Week / Weekend) Member ($100/Yr Dues) $7.55 I $8.00 $5.00/$6.00 Non-Member $10.00/$10.50 $6.00/$7.50 Estimated Average Facility price per round = $7.00 Estimated Average Facility rounds per year= 6,000 Estimated Average Annual Range Revenue=$42,000 Estimated Profit & loss Total Income $48,500.00 $48,200.00 Total Expense Net Income $300.00 16 Town of Nantucket April 22, 2004 SECTION 6 OPERATION & MAINTENANCE The Operation and General Maintenance of the proposed facility will be conducted by member volunteers and by part time employed staff under direction of the Range Committee.
