Representative Paul Santos, Nantucket Surveyors
Public Brett Lennerton, Our Island Home (OIH) Administrator.
Discussion (4:04) Santos – Formerly the Starr property behind OIH. He did additional research in regards to the flood zone and
found the structure could be designed to the A -B Zone standards as opposed to the wind velocity standards.
The structure will be removed to the 15Y -floor decking then rebuilt and remove the curved portion of the
decking and the garage portion. It will be a full 2 -story structure, 24 feet to the ridgeline. This has not been to
the Historic District Commission (HDC). The least intrusive foundation would be to supplement the existing
pilings with helical anchors.
Erisman – Her concern is the increase in glass area impacting birds and wildlife. Looks like there is a new deck
extending out into the buffer.
Santos – If the extended deck needs to be pulled back, they'll do that.
Golding – His concern is the mass and extra 7 -feet of height. Asked if they could put up ridge poles to see the
height. The Ottison property was purchased by Nantucket Islands Land Bank (NILB) specifically to protect
the wetland scenic views.
Bennett – Appreciates staying on the existing footprint.
Champoux – We will want a detailed construction protocol when the time comes.
Lennerton – Town residents want to protect the harbor views; if the construction and additional height
doesn't impede on the view from OIH, there are no concerns. If the view is impacted, then we have a concern.
Golding – There is also public way.
Santos – Asked for a two-week continuance; when this comes back up, he'll renotice the abutters.
Staff OIH property is owned by the Town; it's public in intent and should be taken into consideration.
Motion Continued June 27 by unanimous consent.

David Buckley, Cohen & Cohen Law P.C., for Alan & Erin Deombeleg at 137 Polpis Road
Discussion (4:18) Haines – This was in response to an Enforcement Order for cutting and fence installation without a permit It
is also for a pool, cabana and associated landscaping. Continued to hear from MNH and a peer review.
Reviewed suggestions from the peer review done by Brian Madden, LEC Environmental. Asked for a
continuance to July meeting to put together a revised plan and submit a protocol.
Steinauer – He'd like to see how the slope will be stabilized; it's very steep now.
Page 1of7
Minutes for June 13, 2018, adopted Tune 26
Champoux — He couldn't see where large trees had been cut.
Haines — It was mostly brush; the root systems of everything cut are still intact
Erisman — Doesn't want the walking path to impact large trees or cedars.
Claflin — A huge pitch -pine root ball was pulled and left in the no -disturb zone.
Gifford — Shared a memo from Mr. Madden summarizing his client's areas of concern: the applicant should
provide additional detail on proposed grade changes within the 100 -foot buffer, silt fence is being overrun by
soils; should have a stormwater retention area down -grade should be incorporated in the plan; should submit
information on proposed monitoring for invasive species management in revegetated areas; and no discharge
of pool water within the 100 -foot buffer.
Buckley — Second Mr. Gifford's comments. Looking forward to seeing a plan to deal with rain runoff
Staff This can be conditioned that no tree over a certain diameter will be cut within the area of jurisdiction.
Motion Continued to July 11 by unanimous consent.

Representative Art Gasbarro, Nantucket Engineering & Survey
Justine Kenney, trustee
Public None
Discussion (4: 4) Gasbarro — This is for coastal stabilization of the top of the bank; reviewed letter and revised plans submitted
in response to questions and concerns in regards to the top of bank conditions and the protruding old
foundation pieces. Explained why he believes it does not constitute a Coastal Engineering Structure (CES).
This is a short-term solution for top of bank erosion; looking to approval of the extended geo-tube structure to
stabilize the bank. The Construction Protocol is included in the letter as well as how sand will be distributed.
They intend to break off foundation pieces extending out over the bank; they don't want to remove something
that would further destabilize the top of the bank. Reviewed protected interests. Explained the results of an
alternative analysis. There was a request for a profile view and transect; that is shown to scale and at 20 scale
both vertically and horizontally. There will be some continued erosion under the rolls; wants to be able to add
more sand under this order.
Kenney — This area is subject to dramatic winds; this project uses that to advantage to help stabilize the top of
bank.
Erisman — Asked if there are old plans that show where the previous house foundation is located.
Gasbarro — That is included in the NOI; it's well documented.
Steinauer — The house is close to the property line; what happens if it keeps slumping to go back to the stable
angle of repose.
Gasbarro — The property will continue to erode unless the pending geo-tube application is approved and it
stabilizes the toe. We are trying to keep this on the applicant's property at this time. The house is at the farthest
point from the erosion.
Golding — There will be a substantial amount of weight on the rolls. Asked if they should try to displace the
pressure on each cable to keep them from cutting into the bluff.
Gasbarto — If we find any pressure on the cable, we can use a rubber seat to distribute the weight. Explained
how installation of the cable will distribute the weight in such a way as to prevent that and hold the rolls. The
cables will have to be retensioned as a part of regular maintenance. He's talked to the contractor and has been
assured they can do this work.
Erisman — Noted it looks like one cable is suspended in a public way.
Gasbarro — That's a proprietor's road. He believes the proposed sacrificial sand is a greater amount than the
bluff would provide. It will slide down and feed into the next lower area.
Erisman — She worries that these structures are diminishing the amount of potential habitat for swallows; you
can't build an artificial habitat for them; it would take a year for the swallows to return. All the work is adding
to that loss.
Bennett — Thinks that half the bank will still be available.
Gasbarro — There is a large stretch of bluff to the south that is potential habitat Showed a photo of the house
in the previous position.
Page 2 of 7
Minutes for Tune 13, 2018, adopted June 26
Kenney — Her neighbors told her they have not seen swallows in that area in a long time. She'd like to think
that if the bank stabilizes, the swallows will come back.
Staff There was concern and discussion in the previous move NOI about removing the foundation and destabilizing
the bank.
Have everything needed to close.
Motion Motion to Close. (made by: LaFleur) (seconded by: Steinauer)

Documentation Site and topographical plans, photos, requisite departmental reports and correspondence.
Representative Mark Rits, Site Design Engineering
Kevin Dale, Vaughan, Dale, Hunter and Beaudette P.C.
Public None
Discussion (5:00) Rits — This is a retreat project to remove structures within the 50 -foot buffer to an eroding bank; they will
move landward outside the 100 -foot buffer. He reconfigured the gravel drive to reduce it from 1400 square
feet (SF) to 600 SF inside 50 -foot buffer to north coastal bank. Within the 25 -foot buffer, a small area will be
allowed to revegetate; they are keeping a small path to beach stairs. One structure within the north 50 -foot
buffer will move to just outside the south 50 -foot buffer. Placement of the structures is worked around the
location of the two septic systems.
Erisman — She is very concerned about moving the driveway closer to a protected resource area.
Golding — Asked where the pilings for the sheetwall are located. They aren't on the plan.
Rits — He has a plan showing where it was; it's existing and was installed outside jurisdictional areas; it is now
partially just inside the 100 -foot buffer. When it was installed, it was within an alteration envelope allowed by
MNH for site work and relocation. The MNH lines have since moved; this plan reflects those changes. At the
time it was constructed, he and Mr. Carlson confirmed it was outside the jurisdictional area.
Golding — This is not a pre -1978 house and is now within our jurisdiction; we can condition the pilings be
removed from within our jurisdiction.
Erisman —They should be located on the current plan.
Topham — Asked about the foundations.
Rits — One house has a full foundation; the old cottage is sitting on the ground.
Champoux — Asked if there is case law that references putting in a CES before it becomes jurisdictional.
Golding — There was a complete disregard of the environment al issues for future generations and he wants a
legal opinion about conditioning it now that it is within our jurisdiction and the owner has come before
ConCom. He wants the move of the house conditioned upon undoing potential damage by removing the CES.
The intent here was different and he has no sympathy for that intent. He'd like to see it undone to prevent
long-term damage to the beach.
Rits — The project before ConCom right now is a project that the commission has wanted to see on every
coastal property. They are voluntarily removing the structures from areas of jurisdiction. This is a net benefit
and has always been treated favorably in the past. They aren't asking to do any work on the CES.
Erisman — Asked if there is any way to move the driveway completely outside the 50 -foot buffer.
Rits — That's the best we can do because of the need to maintain maximum separation for the two septics; this
board has previously allowed pervious driveways within the 50 -foot and outside the 25 -foot MNH said they
have no Take issues under Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) and Wetlands Act
Golding — Feels the logic that asks for a foundation to be taken out when a house is removed can be applied
for these pilings.
Topham — Asked about the rate of erosion.
Rits — The erosion rate the average was about 1.5 to 2 feet per year. It hasn't been uniform across the beach.
Steinauer — Just because someone did something we don't like, we shouldn't stop them from doing good
things while we have the chance. When this other thing becomes a problem and we have an opinion from
Town Counsel, then we confront that issue.
Golding — He would like this continued to for two more weeks to come up with a resolution.
Champoux — Agrees with Mr. Golding.
Dale — His client wants to do the right thing. He is authorized to by his client to ask for a two-week
continuance.
Steinauer — Asked that a positive order be drafted for the proposed work.
Staff He confirmed that the edge of excavation for the sheetwall was outside ConCom jurisdiction at time of
construction. There is no case law in regards to installing a CES when it wasn't within ConCom's purview;
when it was originally installed, we called different departments and tried to find a permit that would be
required to no available. Objects come into ConCom jurisdiction all the time; the intent isn't a secret and
believes the opinion will be that pre-existing structures that come into jurisdiction are allowed to persist in their
existing condition until there is a clear negative impact or something that causes a significant replacement
Pointed out that this driveway provides access to three other properties to the west.
ConCom doesn't have the ability to continue for something we want if the applicant wants to close.
Motion Continued for two weeks by unanimous consent.

Golding — Asked if the abutters were notified
Rits — The abutters were properly notified and proof is on record.
Erisman — Asked if there will be a swale to prevent runoff going down the steep slope into the wetlands to the
east.
Bennett — Agrees with Ms Erisman; thinks there might be more siltation prevention necessary on that one
side.
Rits — If a swale will help, he can put one in.
Champoux — Agrees about the need for mitigation to prevent runoff going into the wetlands. He'd like to see
more detailed landscaping showing grading, swale, terrace, retainage, etc. He'd also like to have grading stakes.

Public Therese Price, 3&5 Spruce Street
Discussion (5:46) Santos — This is for a buffer zone plantings; propose a fence between the 100 -foot buffer and 50 -foot no -build
the plantings within the 50 -foot buffer; plantings proposed are Emerald green arbor vitae and red maple shade
trees. There is no vegetation currently, unkempt privet was removed. Three abutters are impacted. Have HDC
approval.
Erisman — Deer love arbor vitae and will bare it to their head height.
Champoux — Emerald green arbor vitae is a variety that deer don't eat.
Price — When the old bush was removed, that opened her view. She doesn't mind the fence; she minds the
trees that will end up blocking her view. She's okay with the fence alone or a plant that won't grow higher than
the 6 -foot fence.
Santos — The attempt is to provide screening for the other two abutters of the Marine Home Center structures.
He'd like to shoot a view line from Ms Price's deck to ascertain the height to limit the plantings. The red
maples he'd like down at the wetland end.
Champoux — There is an arbor vitae species that doesn't grow as tall.
Page 4 of 7
Minutes for June 13, 2018, adopted Tune 26
Rits — We're asking for a planting buffer and will have to come to a seperate agreement with the abutters.
Staff The path of action is to review the application for the impact on the buffer zone; if there is an agreement
among the property owners in regards to height of plants, that's okay.

Discussion (6: ) Art Gasbarro, Nantucket Engineering & Survey — Coir/plant array at the end of Fargo Way. No sand was lost
in the first storm; ice held down the waves. Next storm all nourishment was delivered with no loss of plants on
the upper area. It's holding up with no noticeable scouring.
Erisman — It is clear there is fresh water coming from the bank. Asked about that.
Gasbarro — Along this bank, there are several areas where fresh water seeps onto the beach; that is due to a
confining strata of soil holding water from the wetland; there is one such spot on this property. There is no
gushing.
