I. CONVENE IN OPEN SESSION:
A. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. Tour of the Moors Bike Ride - Request: On behalf of the Nantucket Velo Group
and Nantucket Development Squad (ACKDEVO), Joseph Topham presented a proposal to hold
a 26-mile mountain bike ride through conservation properties on the island. The expectation was
that this would primarily be a local event with a maximum of 75 riders. A registration fee of$75
would be charged to cover costs and any net profit would be donated back to the conservation
landowners, namely, the Nantucket Conservation Foundation,Nantucket Land Bank and the
Massachusetts Audubon Society. The event would take place on September 13, 2020 from 8:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Mr. Savetsky stated that the staff had met with the group previously to review
all details for the event and expressed no concerns. Further, Mr. Savetsky stated his full support
for the ride. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by
Commissioner Glidden, it was unanimously VOTED to approve the Tour of the Moors event.
Joseph Topham, Benjamin Champoux, Michael Sweeney, and Todd Burns departed the meeting

Land Bank Commission Page 2
January 28, 2020
Stackpole and duly seconded by Commissioner Jelleme, it was unanimously VOTED to execute
the January 22, 2019 warrant document in the amount of$352,307.50 to be provided to the
county treasurer.
D. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. Madequecham Beach Stairs—Discussion: Ms. Freeman displayed photographs
of the beach erosion, abutting staircase examples, a topographical map with parking lot and
additional beach access trails. She reported that Property Foreman, Jeff Pollock said that
additional horizontal supports would need to be installed to secure the aluminum stairs and the
stairs and supports would need to be removed each year due to the eroding shoreline. Further,
she noted that the Land Bank staff's unanimous recommendation was to improve an existing
path to an area with a lower drop off where no stairs would be required to access the beach. The
field crew would relocate the existing parking area closer to the path, naturalize the old parking
area and create a better path to create a safer access to the beach. The consensus of the
Commission was to follow the recommendations of staff.
2. Miacomet Pond Dredging—Discussion: Nantucket Pond Coalition contacted
Mr. Savetsky about dredging Miacomet Pond to combat excessive phosphorus growth. The
Town of Nantucket owns Miacomet Pond and is looking for financial contributions from pond
abutters to aid with the $2.5 million expense. Mr. Savetsky acknowledged that the Land Bank
being a significant landowner around the pond had a fiscal responsibility to assist the Town with
pond maintenance, especially because fishing, kayaking and activities fall under the recreational
component of the Land Bank's mission. Discussion ensued and Commissioner Jelleme
questioned who would be leading this project as it would take significant shepherding with the
scope of work involved, not to mention years of permitting. Mr. Savetsky indicated that he did
not believe the Pond Coalition could lead this project by themselves, but would relay to them
that there was considerable interest from the Commission to contribute to the project,but more
information was needed before they would commit to an amount.
3. Hays/174 Orange Street—Alternatives Discussion: Mr. Savetsky announced
that Horiuchi Solein had been hired to create a conceptual drawing for the Hays property. Mr.
Savetsky asked the Commission to state their visions of what the property should look like
taking into consideration the Ottison and Bachman properties and that a portion of the property
would be used for rotary construction. Ideas presented were as follows: (1) remove the new
sections of the house but retain the old historic part for future use possibly for a visitor's center
with bathrooms; (2) move the old section closer to the rotary and remove the guest cottage; (3)
remove the new sections of the house and leave the guest cottage where it is; (4) remove all the
structures and open up the property to create unobstructed views of the harbor. Discussion
ensued and the initial, prevailing view was that all structures should be removed. Commissioner
Jelleme questioned whether the farmhouse could be repurposed to serve a Land Bank need or
converted into public bathrooms for the park. Additionally, Commissioner Stackpole suggested
that a Land Bank staff person live in the cottage on the property as a caretaker during the
transitional phase while planning was underway. Mr. Savetsky agreed with Mr. Stackpole's
suggestion and said he would relay the Commission's feedback to Ms. Horiuchi as there was a
Land Bank Commission Page 3
January 28, 2020
kickoff planning meeting scheduled for later in the week. Further, staff would proceed with
permitting applications for the removal of the pool and newer section of the house.
E. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Upon a motion made by Commissioner Glidden and
duly seconded by Commissioner Reinhard, it was unanimously VOTED to accept, approve and
release the regular minutes of January 14, 2020, as written.
F. REGULAR BUSINESS:
1. Action Items List- Update: Mr. Savetsky reviewed the action items list and
told the Commission that the sanctuary field at Beechwood Farm had been mowed and scrub
pines removed. Further, he informed the Commission that staff had met with Peter Brace and
continued working on the Land Bank information brochure. Commissioner Reinhard asked that
staff work on a detailed history of the Land Bank as well. Ms. Freeman said that a Notice of
Intent would be filed with the Conservation Commission for the Japanese Black Pine trees at the
Apthorp property to improve the viewshed and she was still hoping the Conservation
Commission regulations would be amended to allow for view shed maintenance on Land Bank
applications without the need for a lengthy application process.
G. TRANSFER BUSINESS:
1. Five-Year Domicile and Ownership Compliance—Release of Liens: Upon a
motion made by Commissioner Glidden and duly seconded by Commissioner Reinhard, it was
unanimously VOTED to execute and authorize the issuance of Releases of Liens for the
following transfers as a result of the purchasers fulfilling all of the requirements of Section 12,
subsection (-m-):

seconded by Commissioner Reinhard, it was unanimously VOTED to go into executive session

session minutes. A roll call vote was taken: Glidden-Aye, Paterson-Aye, Stackpole-Aye,
Reinhard-Aye, Jelleme-Aye. The Chairman under Purpose 6 [G.L. c. 30A, 21(a)(6)] declared
that discussion of these matters in open session may be detrimental to the Land Bank's
negotiating position and that the Commission would not reconvene in regular session at the
conclusion of executive session.
