Ed Toole advised the Applicant that Kerim Koseatac was absent from the meeting and if they agreed, Mr. Koseatac would listen to the digital recording and sit in at the next meeting. The Applicant agreed to the arrangement. Attorney Singer requested that members of the public be able to comment on the project in general before the discussion began. The board opened a ten minute comment period for general comments from the public. The Hines family commented that without affordable home ownership on Nantucket, they could not be able to own their own home on Nantucket. Vanessa Larrabee was in attendance with her husband Jason.

Glena Stokes - Scarlett stood and spoke in favor of the project. The Applicant presented a revised conceptual plan that showed some proposed locations for sheds. The sheds will not be built by the Applicant, but the location will be restricted to certain areas to the side and rear of the houses by the homeowners' association documents. The sheds will not be visible and will not be located in the front of the lots. Lisa Botticelli confirmed with Attorney Singer that the sheds would be permitted separately from the homes and are not part of the Application. Attorney Singer confirmed that all the ZBA would be approving is where the sheds could not be placed. Attorney Singer shared that at an earlier meeting with the fire and police chiefs there was a request to connect the crosswalk with the bus stop that already exists. He said that the final plan would reflect that change. Attorney Singer presented the Applicant's plans for bike paths within the subdivision and site access. The Applicant expressed that, given the aesthetics and size of the Subdivision that sidewalks were needed, but did submit a plan showing the sidewalks. Attorney Singer presented the layout design of secondary access options. Ed Pesce of Pesce Engineering presented his report on the project. He also presented a few more options for site access. The board requested that raised sidewalks, that are not a part of the road, be part of the plan. They also requested a proforma by the next meeting, to better understand the costs associated with the project. A few members of the audience spoke and voiced their opinion in favor of having clearly delineated sidewalks.

Ed Pesce commented that the traffic study be very specific in scope to keep the cost of the peer review traffic study down. Attorney Singer agreed to pay for the peer reviewed traffic study. The board clarified that the traffic study would be limited to looking at full access at South Shore Road and the larger D handle extension access along Surfside Road. Attorney Singer added that the peer reviewer should compare these two options to the options presented in the Applicant's plan. The board agreed. Michelle Perry, a resident on South Shore Road, requested that the traffic study also look at car traffic data.

The Applicant will look into the added cost of collective trash service. There was a brief discussion of open space delineation.
