Home My WebLink AboutPlanning Board Staff Report - October 13, 2011_201402051007504879 STAFF REPORT Date: October 5, 2011 To: Planning Board From: Leslie Snell, AICP Senior Planner Re: October 13, 2011 Agenda Minutes:  September 12, 2011 Please contact staff prior to the meeting with any comments, questions, or corrections. Public Hearings:  #16-11 On Island Center MCD, 30 & 34 Sparks Avenue, action deadline 11-07-11 A new site plan and a report for MDM Transportation are included in your packet, as well as letters from Nantucket Surveyors and Vaughan, Dale, Hunter, Stetina & Beaudette. Rizzo Associates will be performing a peer review of the traffic study and will be available to attend the November 14 meeting if necessary. Attorney Bill Hunter and Paul Santos will be present at the meeting to discuss project changes.  #19-11 Douglas J. and Cecilia L. Hepworth, 2 Center Street, Sconset, action deadline 12-11-11 This matter was continued from the last meeting so that the Board members would have an opportunity to view the site prior to making a decision. The staff report and recommendation presented in September is printed below. The applicant is proposing a second driveway access within twenty-five (25) feet of an intersection. The site is located in Siasconset between three (3) streets: Shell Street, Main Street, and Center Street. Shell Street is one-way running southwest and Center Street is generally used as a one-way running northeast. The extension of the existing driveway between Shell Street and Center Street would allow for safer and more efficient access to the site. Generally, staff would not support this type of request, however, in this particular location we find that the proposed second driveway access will not have an adverse impact on traffic or safety consideration and will not have an adverse impact on the scenic or historic integrity of the neighborhood.  #7372 Calm Waters Way Subdivision, 135, 137 and 143 Eel Point Road, action deadline 12-28-11 This matter was continued from the last meeting at the request of the applicant. A letter from Site Design Engineering and a revised set of plans are included in your packet. Dan Mulloy will be present to discuss any outstanding issues with the Board. A draft decision is included in your packet. 2  #20-11 White Elephant Hotel Residences LLC (f/k/a Nantucket Island Resorts), 19/25 North Water Street & 72 Easton Street, action deadline 01-11-12 The applicant is requesting three (3) modifications: 1. To partially reconfigure the main building to allow for the construction of twenty (20) guest suites. The original decision listed a maximum number of guest suites on the property, but did not specify how many could be located in each structure. The current request would not increase the total number permitted in the 2006 decision. 2. To allow the installation of a service kitchen in the pool house. 3. To extend for two (2) years the use of Townhouses 4, 5, and 6 for ancillary hotel services. See the letter from Attorney Bill Hunter dated September 12, 2011 for more details about the proposal. Staff recommends approval with a decision to be signed in the office.
