I. CONVENE IN OPEN SESSION:
A. CITIZEN'S BUSINESS /ANNOUNCEMENTS: None.
B. GOLF BUSINESS:
1. Temporary Facilities Procurement — Update: Mr. Savetsky explained that staff
inspected the Town's trailers and determined that substantial repairs were needed in order to make
them suitable for occupancy, which prompted the idea of looking into costs associated with using
the existing clubhouse with the existing kitchen removed and replaced with a commercial kitchen
trailer. Pursuant to Mr. Savetsky's request, Mr. Josefek and Mr. Velozo also inspected the Town's
trailers and the clubhouse and after doing a quick cost analysis recommended using the Town's
trailers due to overall lower cost and time constraints. Mr. Costa said to minimize costs, most of the
repairs could be done in-house and the purchase of a kitchen trailer was expected to be between
$62,000 and $78,000 depending on the equipment specifications. Commissioner Jelleme
recommended that before any money was spent the health department be consulted as to their
requirements to pass inspection for restaurant use. Mr. Costa recommended moving the
administrative offices to the first floor of 6 West Miacomet Avenue and moving the golf shop to the
old bag storage building. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by
Commissioner Jelleme, it was unanimously VOTED to approve the move of the administrative
offices and golf shop as described, provided this is acceptable to the building department.
2. Miacomet Golf Course ("MGC") Clubhouse and Dormitory — Updates: Mr.
Land Bank Commission Page 2
February 13, 2018
Savetsky reported that the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs ("EOEEA") has
still not responded to the Land Bank's request for approval for the employee dormitory even though
significant pressure was being brought to bear on EOEEA for a decision. Mr. Savetsky
recommended that the Land Bank write a letter saying that they have reached the conclusion that
Section 6 approval was not required for the construction of the dormitory and therefore the Land
Bank will move forward with construction two weeks from the date on the letter. Upon a motion
made by Commissioner Reinhard and duly seconded by Commissioner Jelleme, it was VOTED to
write the letter as recommended, subject to counsel review. Commissioner Stackpole recused.
Commissioner Stackpole recused himself from the following matter and left the table.
Mr. Raber presented updated plans and elevations of the new clubhouse and explained some of the
changes made as well as different elevation views. Commissioners Glidden, Reinhard and Paterson
felt the new plan was much improved, and Commissioner Jelleme said she liked the new plan but
was concerned about the south facing elevation. Mr. Raber said he could work on that elevation as it
faced the street. Mr. Calvert said he liked the design and pointed out that the features in the design
matched the results of the surveys he conducted in October. Mr. Raber said that with the
Commission's approval he would further develop the plan and they would start picking materials.
Upon a motion made by Commissioner Jelleme and duly seconded by Commissioner Reinhard, it
was VOTED to continue to develop the plan for estimates and refine the design.
Marian Wilson, Assistant Administrator and Jeffrey Pollock entered the meeting at 4: 00 p. m.
Mr. Raber, Mr. Josefek, Mr. Velozo, Mr. Calvert and Mr. Costa departed the meeting at 4:07 p. m.
Commissioner Stackpole rejoined the meeting.
C. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mr. Kalman, a resident of 43 Appleton Road, told the
Commission that he was unaware of the restriction regarding further subdivision held by the Land
Bank which conflicted with his plans to create additional lots on his wife's property. Since the Land
Bank also holds a Right of First Refusal on this property, he encouraged the Commission to make
an offer to purchase it. Chairman Paterson thanked Mr. Kalman for his comments and stated that the
Commission would take his request under consideration in Executive Session.
Mr. Kalman departed the meeting at 4:17 p.m.
Rachael Freeman, Land Bank Environmental Coordinator entered the meeting at 4:18 p.m.
D. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. McAlinden/48 South Cambridge Street — Site Plan Review: Mr. Pollock updated
the Commission on progress made at the McAlinden property noting that the driveway had been
installed and property lines established in preparation for the accessible viewing area. Additionally,
Ms. Freeman reviewed the finalized dock drawings and location of the 20' x 10' accessible
platform, indicating that the Notice of Intent had been filed with the Conservation Commission.
2. Property Foreman — Fall Review: Mr. Pollock confirmed that the Bachman dock

had been completed and that further landscaping would take place the spring. Additionally, the
Chase boardwalk would soon be reconstructed in conformance with Chapter 91 specifications. A
discussion regarding post -season dinghy and kayak storage ensued and Ms. Bell indicated she
would research the process for properly disposing of these abandoned items. The parking lot at
Cisco Beach had been moved back ten feet the previous summer to protect it from further coastal
erosion and Mr. Pollock indicated that staff was continuing to monitor this area closely. New split
rail fencing and Land Bank signage were installed on Land Bank property abutting the Summer
House restaurant in Siasconset to discourage future encroachment. The fall burn season was less
than ideal with only 30 acres burned instead of the goal of 90 due to unfavorable weather
conditions. Additionally, staff continued to perform invasive species removal work throughout the
fall by removing Phragmites at the Bachman and Reis properties and parrot feather from Burchell
pond. Mr. Pollock reported that staff had completed the annual mitigation requirements for the
Industrial Park and Nobadeer ballfields under Ms. Freeman's guidance by creating scrub oak
habitat, opening up frost pockets and clearing pine trees. Mr. Pollock remarked that hunting season
was uneventful in 2017.
Mr. Sutters departed the meeting at 4:45 p. m.
3. Easy Street Park — Dreamland Event Request: Ms. Zola reviewed her written
request to the Commission outlining the Nantucket Dreamland Nonprofit Film & Cultural Center
summer fundraising event on Sunday, July 22, 2018. She asked the Commission for permission to
allow the Dreamland to erect a large tent on the Easy Street Park property for an afternoon/evening
cocktail party. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Glidden and duly seconded by
Commissioner Stackpole, it was VOTED to approve the request. Chairman Paterson was opposed.
Ms. Zola departed the meeting at 5: 00 p.m.
4. 2018 Work Plan: Mr. Pollock presented the 2018 Property Management Task List,
indicating that staff was receptive to any comments, changes or suggestions by the Commission as
they may arise throughout the year.
Mr. Pollock departed the meeting at 5:13 p.m.
