Jimmy Manchester and Charles Bartlett spoke on behalf of Nantucket Park and
Recreation.
Prior to the presentation by the Applicants, Marcus Silverstein claritied what the
Applicants are requesting. Mr. Silverstein indicated that the Applicants are requesting a
waiver of Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-19.B(1).
In turn, the Applicants indicated that they believe that because they are surrounded by a
wooded area, they do not need to screen the interior parking area.
Debbie Deeley, speaking as an abutter, spoke against the Land Bank allowing the land to
be used for this recreational use.
After hearing this, Ed Toole wondered why the Applicants were not before the Board for a
recreational use permit. Marcus Silverstein, after consulting with Staff, informed the
Board that the Applicants will need a recreational use permit for the fields and they have
not yet applied for such permit.
Dusty Ramos, speaking as an abutter, suggested that screening should remain for the
purpose of aesthetics.
Ellen Anderall, an abutter, stated that she thought that vegetation on the locus is a good
thing and encouraged as much as possible.
Cheryl Beaton, speaking as an abutter, stated that she was against artificial turf fields and
that more trees are needed in order to off-set global warming.
Jackie Edwards also stated that she was against artiticial turf tields.
A motion was made (Toole) and duly seconded to waive the screening requirement of
Nantucket Zoning Bylaw Section 139-19.B(1). The vote was 1-4 (Toole, Waine, Poor,
Botticelli opposed) in favor.
