the fiberglass bulkhead at 21 and 27 Easy Street for an additional $23,600.

Google Earth aerial image of the Madequecham Valley Land Bank properties and explained that

begin the process to permit the project.

which will impact views from several Land Bank properties. Upon a motion made by
Commissioner Jelleme and duly seconded by Commissioner Reinhard it was unanimously
VOTED to authorize Director Savetsky to draft a letter to the Conservation Commission on
behalf of the Land Bank Commission that outlines the Commissions concerns with the
application.
5. National Grid Public Hearing — Distribution Reliability Project: Mr. Savetsky
reported that the Land Bank received an abutter notice from the Town of Nantucket regarding a
project planned by National Grid that would impact several Land Bank properties. At the request
