105) - This ANR plan is a simple conveyance plan which allows for the transfer of "Lot B"
as shown on the plan to the Town of Nantucket for parking purposes in conjunction with

#7152 Frederick C. Coffin, Jr., Shirley Louise Coffin Spencer, Trustee of the Coffin Family
Nominee Trust, 24 Trotters Lane & 31 Fairgrounds Road (Map 67 Parcels 147 & 149) –
This ANR plan divides parcels 147 and 149 shown on map 67 into three new lots taking
some land from the larger parcel 149, combining it with parcel 147 with the result of three
new lots numbered 20, 21 & 22 all with adequate frontage and lot area. This ANR may be

ANR plan shows Parcel A of 6,122 s.f. being separated from Lot 1with Parcel A to be
conveyed to the abutting property. Parcel A is not a buildable lot in and of itself and the
garage located on site will need zoning relief for side yard setback when combined with
the abutting parcel and if it is not combined then the garage will need to be removed as it is
not subordinate to a principal structure on site. This ANR may be endorsed as Approval
Under the Subdivision Control Law Not Required.

14 Tennessee Avenue, Randolph G. Sharp, Jr., (Map 60.1.2 Parcel 6)
51 West Chester Street, Dalton & Jennifer L. Frazier, (Map 41 Parcel 228)
VI. Previous Plans:
#03-86 Stop & Shop, 129 Pleasant Street/21 & 31 Sparks Avenue, removal of cart corrals –
Please see Attorney Steven Cohen's memo to the Chairman explaining that since HDC disapproved
of the design of the cart corrals presently installed and ordered their revision or removal, Attorney
Cohen's client desired to remove the cart corrals. Since the cart corrals were proposed by the
applicant and the Board approved the application "as shown on the plans and application materials"
the MCD needs to be modified to remove that requirement or the applicant must seek re-design
and approval from the HDC. The corrals are usually for the convenience and safety of the clients
of the store they serve, i.e. keeping them out of the parking spaces, however if the Board
determines their use to be obsolete then removing the requirement would not cause undue
hardship.
VII. Public Hearings:
#7084 WB Nantucket Holdings, 3 Arrowhead Drive, action deadline 07-30-08 – REVISED
SUBDIVISION PLANS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. Pesce Engineering & Associates have
reviewed the revised plans and their memo to the Board is included. Please note that many
2
Staff Report for Planning Board Meeting Monday, July 28, 2008
previous comments remain unanswered and the design unchanged. The Board should review
each comment presented, whether addressed or not, and determine if the response is satisfactory
or whether further review is necessary. The applicant and/or his engineer may be able to
provide a response at the meeting. However, since Mr. Pesce will not be in attendance, staff
recommend extending the action deadline to August 31, 2008 to allow the applicant to respond
to Mr. Pesce's comments at the August 11th meeting and to direct the staff to prepare a decision
for consideration at the August 25th meeting in response to information presented at the August
11th meeting.
#7133 Philip Minella, 72 North Liberty Street, action deadline 08-10-08- Staff met with Dan
Mulloy, the applicant's engineer along with Mr. Pesce, the Board's engineering consultant and
both Jeff Willet, DPW Director and Mohamed Nabulsi, Assistant Director to discuss the
drainage issues in the general area of the proposed development site. A drainage study plan was
developed by the Mr. Mulloy and was reviewed with all parties named above. Consensus was
that the applicant is not making the area drainage situation worse but that they are unable to
address correcting existing problems due to inability to obtain access rights to clean existing or
install new drainage. The DPW faces the same challenge. Many of the existing drainage
structures were placed in the area without benefit of easements or sound engineering design.
Mr. Pesce has provided an updated review of the design based upon new information submitted.
His letter to the Board is dated July 21, 2008. Please review his letter, the drainage analysis, and
the drainage plan. In addition staff has in the office for review information on the pervious
paving materials if the Board is interested. Staff recommends the Board determine if the
applicant's responses to Pesce Engineering's comments, whether addressed or not, are
satisfactory or whether further review is necessary. Mr. Pesce will be unable to attend the July
28th meeting but Mr. Willet and Mr. Nabulsi will be in attendance to discuss overall drainage
issues.
#40-08 Hither Creek Boatyard, Inc., 20 North Cambridge Street, action deadline 10-12-08 –
Please see Pesce Engineering's July 22, 2008 memo to the Board and the Draft decision
prepared for your consideration. Staff recommends that if the decision reflects the direction of
the Board, that staff be directed to complete all preparations to bring this application to a close.
#41-08 Nantucket Commons Modification, 5C,5D, 8D & 8E Bayberry Court, action deadline
10-26-08- You will recall that the Board discussed the issues involved at its July 14th meeting
and was advised that a modification public hearing was scheduled for July 28th to address those
issues. Attorney Marianne Hanley has provided a brief addendum to the application for
modification of Special Permit #6-86 that explains exactly what the proposed modification will
entail. Since this is a public hearing, the Board will need to open the hearing, listen to the
applicant's presentation, take public comment, and if so inclined, close the public hearing and
vote to approve, approve with conditions or deny. Board member Linda Williams excused
herself from the discussion at the meeting of July 14th and will do the same on July 28th.
Therefore the Chairman will need to activate an alternate to serve in her place. Staff
recommends the Board consider public input and if no testimony contradicts the Board's
understanding of the issues, that the Board approve the elimination of the inclusionary housing
requirements and direct the Staff to prepare a decision for signature in the office.
VIII. ZBA Cases:
#44-08 Cynthia J. Thomas & Melinda as Owner, Cynthia J. Thomas as applicant,4 Sparks
Avenue (Map 55 Parcel 191) – The Planning Board should recommend to the ZBA that the
revised parking layout plan entitled "Sketch Plan of Proposed Salon" and attached at the
3
Staff Report for Planning Board Meeting Monday, July 28, 2008
end of the ZBA Public Notice appears adequate in that parking has been delineated for two
(2 ) residential spaces off Goldstar Drive and four (4) spaces, one (1) of which is a
handicapped space, off Milestone Lane. The applicant should be further directed to inform
clients that parking other than on-site is prohibited and could jeopardize the applicant's
permit to operate.
The balance of these applications have no planning issues except for #52-08:
#46-08 Barbara A. Mansfield, Trustee, 12 Greenleaf Road (Map 39 Parcel 46)
#47-08 James R. Crane, 6 Salt Marsh Road (Map 55 Parcel 296)
#48-08 Remain 54, LLC. 54 Main Street (Map 42.3.1 Parcel 193)
#49-08 Anthony E. Beale & Ann Patricia Beale, 4 Mooers Avenue (Map 30 Parcel 247)
#50-08 Richard E. Norton & Valerie G.B. Norton, 4 Tawpoot Road (Map 54 Parcel 112)
#51-08 Kenneth S. Lindsay & Karyn S. Lindsay, Utah Avenue (Map 59.4 Parcels 168, 169, 225,
231, 232, & 233)
#52-08 Killen, Walsh, McCrea, & Stone as Owners, Bouque as applicant, Nobadeer Farm
Road/Hinsdale Road (Map 69 Parcels 114, 115 & a portion of 23) – Please review the site
plan attached at the end of the ZBA Public Notice entitled "Feasibility Study Nantucket
Millworks". The parking layout for spaces #9 – 12 and the ADA space are inadequate
requiring backing out onto Nobadeer Farm Road. Since none of the structures shown have
been built, the Board should advise the ZBA to instruct the applicant to revise the parking
layout so that no vehicle will need to back out onto Nobadeer Farm Road.
IX. Other Business: Planning Director Vorce will be present to lead discussion on the following.
