Request for Action on Petition to County of Nantucket For Road Layout and Taking: Surfside Area Roads,

and Okorwaw Avenue; c) Okorwaw – Between Lovers Lane and Monohansett Road; and d) Monohansett
Road – Between Okorwaw Avenue and Airport Road.
Chairman Chadwick noted the action before the Board is whether or not to accept the petition and schedule
a public hearing on the matter. A discussion followed on what action to take and whether the roads should
be taken by the Town or County. County Manager C. Elizabeth Gibson said she has learned from Town
Counsel that there are different procedures for the County and Town to take roads. She said there would be
a significant financial undertaking for the taking and questioned the cost obligations once the roads are
taken. Ms. Gibson suggested the Commission acknowledge the receipt of the petition vs. accepting the
petition. Sybille Anderson said she collected signatures for the petition and asked who would do the
research into the possible takings how long the process would take. Ms. Gibson noted the Town would do
the research and she is not sure of the timing. She said a proposal has been received from Victor Brandon
Corp. to temporarily fix certain areas of certain roads. Mr. Atherton moved to table the request for action; Mr.
Reinhard seconded. All in favor, so voted.
