Inquirer and Mirror Reporter, Brian Bushard and Lily Pond abutter, Lucy Dillon, were also present at call to order. I. CONVENE IN OPEN SESSION: A. CITIZEN BUSINESS/ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1. Mr. Savetsky informed the Commission that the Town of Nantucket Select Board had a meeting scheduled for September 11, 2019 where they plan to discuss plans and costs for the building of a new Our Island Home on the existing site at 9 East Creek Road. The Land Bank Commission and staff were invited to attend the presentation. 2. Chairman Paterson informed the Commission that the landscaper working on the abutting property to the Bachman property at 158 Orange Street had spray treated the Land Bank property for mosquitos without permission. Mr. Savetsky indicated he would tell the owner, Mr. Goldberg, to instruct his landscaper to cease such treatments. B. GOLF BUSINESS: 1. Miacomet Golf Clubhouse Replacement — Project Update: Mr. Savetsky presented an update on the progress from the Owners Project Manager. The drywall, HVAC duct work and several interior system installations were nearly completed, and the clubhouse was now on permanent power. Although the overall project had fallen behind one week, it was anticipated that there would be opportunities to make up the time. There were no changes to the budget. 2.

Land Bank Commission August 13, 2019 C. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT: Page 2 1. Lily Pond — Drainage Project Update: Ms. Freeman reported on having a meeting with Rob McNeil, Director of Public Works, to discuss a major sewer project that involves the Lily Pond and abutting properties. The main issue involved a compromised outflow pipe, and their plans to reroute existing storm drains that currently flow into the sewer to drain into the Lily Pond property once the outflow pipe is replaced. Mr. Savetsky said this could present an opportunity for the Land Bank to plan a wetland restoration project for the Lily Pond where storm run-off would run through biofiltration area then into a clean water pond. Ms. Dillon noted concerns of abutters and read a historic piece from the Inquirer & Mirror dated January 3, 1891, that focused upon wintertime when the Lily pond froze and became a skating pond. Chairman Paterson thanked Ms. Dillon for her ideas and noted that the Commission would take it under advisement. Ms. Dillon departed the meeting at 4:25 p. m. 2. Codfish Park Playground Shade — Discussion: Ms. Freeman updated the Commission on the need for shade at Codfish Park playground. After the last HDC meeting in May 2019, the Land Bank had been encouraged to explore utilizing trees as a natural source of shade as opposed to introducing an additional structural element to the park. Then, after several visits to the playground throughout the summer, Ms. Freeman observed that the current status of tree growth on the property was poor due to windburn and salt spray and the playground and structures were essentially unusable during the day due to the heat. Ms. Freeman recommended that the Land Bank revisit the HDC to report on these findings and propose another plan for providing shade. She presented a power point collection of tree photographs, conceptual shade structure options including a pergola and shade sails for the Commission to discuss. Mr. Savetsky was looking for thoughts and guidance to develop a concept that would bring some shade relief and also fit within the overall `Sconset aesthetic. The Commission agreed that it was worth relaying all this to the Historic District Commission and revisiting the ideas of using some type of pergola structure over some seating and perhaps also considering ideas for shading some of the structures. Staff indicated they would bring forth some more detailed concept plans for consideration. 3. 44 Washington Street — Escrow Termination Agreement Execution: Mr. Savetsky told the Commission that he had executed the Escrow Termination Agreement for Richmond Great Point Development as they had brought the building up to code. Mr. Savetsky noted there were still escrowed funds related to the move off of the building at the end of the lease. 4. Property Maintenance Equipment - Request: Mr. Savetsky presented a request for a new Bobcat mini -excavator with accessories as well as a new trailer. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Glidden and duly seconded by Commissioner Stackpole it was unanimously VOTED to purchase the equipment for the quoted amounts of $47,812.98 and $8,298.92 respectively. D. REGULAR BUSINESS: 1. Island Fair — Public Outreach Opportunity: Ms. Campese requested the Land Bank staff and Commission man a table at the Island Fair on September 14th and 15th from 9:00 A.M. Land Bank Commission August 13, 2019 Page 3 until 4:00 P.M. She said there would be information about the upcoming hike, burn program, education regarding pallet fires, etc. The consensus of the Commission was positive regarding the opportunity for community outreach. 2. Cross -Island Hike — Committee Update: Ms. Campese reported that the hike was scheduled for Sunday, October 61h and would start in `Sconset and end at Settler's Landing in Madaket. She presented a draft map of the route which covered approximately 20 miles of trails, bike paths, and dirt road. 3. Action Items List — Review: Commissioner Jelleme asked about the status of planning for the Hays property and the landscape improvements at Bachman. Mr. Savetsky responded that he and Ms. Bell had scheduled a meeting with Landscape Architect, Kris Horiuchi later in the week. Commissioner Reinhard asked about the trailhead signage and Ms. Freeman explained that the concept that was voted was currently in the hands of the graphic designer. E.
