Discussion(5:06) Diamond — The two parcels make up about 1/4 acre; western half is a bordering vegetated wetland and the
site has a history of significant manipulation. It has been maintained as a lawn and is visibly saturated after
rain events. Our goal is to have them able to function as a park in time of summer and in the long-term
enhance the wetland. Proposing to install small sections of fencing on North Beach Street and to block off
the old driveway on Easton Street. Also, proposing two benches secured into the ground but not cemented.
All work is outside the 25-foot buffer.We have an updated visual of the plans.
Golding—Asked who was responsible for cutting the privet down and should that have been permitted.
Diamond—Our maintenance crew did the cutting.
Golding—Feels it was done in an egregious way.
Engelbourg — The application indicates you will install River Birch; asked for different birches since River
Birch isn't native to Nantucket.
Diamond—That is part of the edits from the scaling down;no trees will be planted before summer.
Phillips—Asked to see the updated visual if it's available now. A pipe was mentioned that drains onto North
Beach Street;asked if that will be rerouted or another drainage system provided.
Diamond—We will investigate that more thoroughly when we have a more concrete plan.
Beale—He noticed where the trash receptacles would go.
Diamond—We are trying to enforce a pack-in/pack-out policy on Land Bank property.
Beale—A site like this with a picnic table would be inviting trash. He's leery of this site and it is a site where
less is more.
Erisman—Agrees with Mr.Beale.The public should have signage about the pack-in/pack-out policy.
Topham—Asked what will keep people in the park from wandering into the wetlands.
Diamond—Once we install the raingarden,we would mark it with educational signage;in the short term, we
will stop mowing.
Erisman—It would be nice to have some signage bout the proposed wetland restoration area.
Golding—He echoes the concerns about the trash;there should be receptacles there.
Diamond—If it were something we were to institute on all of our properties,emptying trash would become a
full-time job.

ConCom Minutes for April 8,2021,adopted Apr. 22
Freeman — The Land Bank has been pretty strict about its pack-in •pack-out policy. Where trash is an issue
on our property,we respond to the issue;we have property controls.
Beale—Having picnic tables is an attractive nuisance and invites trash.The benches are fine.
Engelbourg — Respects the policy, but realistically this site is less than 1 10th of a mile from Children"s
Beach.Doesn't think there's a need for trash receptacles but they could be seasonal for high summer.
Erisman—Sees Mr.Engelbourg's point;Nantucket's trash bins aren't very visible.
Carlson — Brigitte Petrocelli asked if the entrance can be on Easton Street versus North Beach Street; also
concerned about a picnic table in close proximity with a liquor store across the street. Said she picks up trash
along North Beach Street and doesn't support the placement of a picnic table but okay with benches.
Freeman—Willing to reconsider a picnic table. However, if ConCom is going to require a trash bin. will ask
for a continuation to discuss it with the Land Bank since it would require hiring someone to empty it.
Golding—A trash bin could be tied to protection of the wetland from pollution and protection of the scenic
view.Asked if the Town could place a trash bin outside the park.
Topham — He thought there were trash bins close by on the North Beach Street side. At this point. he'd
prefer no trash bin in there.Pack-in/pack-out has worked so far.
Freeman—We are fine without a picnic table on this site. Noted there is a picnic table,which is very popular.
at 158 Orange Street and there is no trash problem there.
Erisman—Likes Mr. Carlson's suggestion to monitor this through the 1" season.
Carlson—"ebd2011" said trash blowing into the resource area will affect wildlife. Ms. Petrocelli reiterated her
opinion about having the entrance on Easton Street and no picnic table. layne Lane said that the comments
about this area flooding often is not the case.
Golding—He walks down there nearly every day and noted this frequently floods and is popular with ducks.
Erisman—It is clearly within the mapped flood zone.
Topham — He worked on Easton Street for a number of years and agrees there is a lot of standing water on
this site after a good rain.
Staff Typically,we haven't pursued cutting that doesn't disturb the ground and consider it as active maintenance of
lawn area.
When we condition a trash bin for the project,it must tie to the protection of the wetland. Suggested that the
Land Bank document any clean up during the summer and report back to the Commission.
Have everything needed to close.

Discussion(5:38) Gasbarro — This is for work on Easy Street within buffer to, but across the street from a coastal bank, and
land subject to coastal storm flowage. Currently, this site,which is less than 2500 sf,is made up of 258 sf of
impervious material. Reviewed the refined plans that address concerns stated at the first hearing to include
more pervious area; there will be also galley areas for water storage and infiltration. First floor is not
residential so won't be raised as high;explained how the structure will meet flood zone criteria.
Topham — He still has a problem with the foundation. The Harbormaster building was able to do a floating
slab that allows flood water to flow under the building; that is an example of how flood water should be
moving. Feels as proposed,flood waters would be pushed toward the Dreamland Theatre.
Page 2 of 7
ConCom Minutes for April 8,2021,adopted Apr.22
Golding—Agrees with Mr.Topham. It would be an unfortunate precedent to approve as is.
Erisman—This is one of the most noticeable flooding areas.
Gasbarro—The Harbormaster building 1" floor would be 4 feet higher than this. The site currently doesn't
allow any flow of floodwater. Permitting this would not create a situation for permissive precedent.
Topham — The floating slab on top of piers is a successful detail that should be looked into and can be
accomplished in the 2 feet you are proposing. On the Robert Young building, that detail was overlooked. We
need to look at the impact of buildings as water level continues to rise.
Golding—He takes Mr. Gasbarro's point on precedent. However, Mr. Topham well-articulated the need for
this policy.
Beale—Asked for further explanation on the floating slab on piers.
Topham — There would be helical piers set into the ground with the slab on top, allowing water to flow
underneath and allow the water to soak into the ground.The Harbormaster building allows 1 foot; this would
have 2 feet.
Gasbarro — He looked at the Harbormaster details; it is actually 2 feet to the slab. We essentially have a
floating slab surrounded by a curtain wall. The harbormaster is located in a velocity zone and we are in a still
water zone. There is a standard that the building would not be subject to storm damage and comply; we are
looking at that as well.Lifting the structure up also impacts the stairs and ramp on a small site.
Golding— It might not be a velocity zone, but we know how quickly water surges in there. Asked why they
aren't considering breakaway panels.
Gasbarro—Because of what happens with the bottom of the slab being close to the ground and being able to
clean out that area when stuff and muck get stuck in there.
Topham—There is some screening we could do.Asked them to go back to look at some detail they could do
to make this better.
LaFleur—Mr. Golding spoke to his question;if you raise the elevation,that would provide access to the area.
Agrees there is probably some engineering detail that would allow water to flow under the building. Applauds
the storage capacity being implemented.
Erisman — Agrees with Mr. Topham; this is a high flood area and doing the same doesn't improve the
downtown situation in the face of sea-level rise. Recognizes the demonstrated improvements to the site. A
few commissioners are looking for more detail or a comparison to the Harbormaster building; asked if they
can provide that.
Reade—Requested a 2-week continuance.
Staff Have everything needed to close.

Representative Paul Santos,Nantucket Surveyors
Dawn Hill Holdgate,owner.
Public None
Discussion (6:04) Santos — Within buffer to a bordering vegetated wetland. Since the original proposal, the project was
downsized;reviewed the revised proposal.
Engelbourg—Asked for elaboration why the junipers south of the pool are being removed and having the
love grass reinstalled.
Santos—As far as the proposal to mitigate the area,we propose a silt fence at the base of a stable slope
Holdgate — The Junipers are overgrown and more like low bushes, and we thought it would look more
natural with love grass.We could maintain them if the Commission prefers.
Erisman—Jumpers are important habitat trees.
Engelbourg—His concern is that these species have extensive root systems and removing them could impact
the slope. He sees no issue with pruning them to look nice but wants to maintain the stable slope without
erosion control.
Golding — He's pleased with the amended plan. Where they say pool and pool garage structure; you might
want to revise that to a pool-equipment shed.
Holdgate — Could change the language to a shed, which would be on piers rather than a slab, and could
maintain the Junipers.The pool was pulled back so as not to disturb the bank.
Erisman—If the Juniper become problematic,you could come back for an amended order.
Staff Have everything needed to close.

Documentation Site and topographical plans,photos,requisite departmental reports and correspondence.
Representative David M. Haines,Haines Hydrogeologic Consulting
Public Rachael Freeman,Nantucket Islands Land Bank
Discussion (615) Haines —This was continued due to lack of the file number. The work started prematurely with a violation
into the wetland; a silt fence has been installed. The well along the wetland boundary can be moved to the
alternate location.There will be grading within the buffer for the mounded septic;that will be reseeded with a
wetland mix to stabilize the area.Work will be supervised by our wetland specialist. The driveway is moved to
the north of the existing house outside the buffer. The construction driveway will he removed and reseeded
and stabilized.
Erisman—She wants them to use the alternate well location.
Freeman — The Land Bank owns 101 Hummock Pond road and are concerned about an existing wetland.
which was part of a field behind 9 Millbrook Road;that has transitioned into a full pond with standing water.
Also, there is an ashlar pond on 101 that used to be clear but is now brown. We want assurance drainage is
being addressed.
Haines—There is a swale that flows toward the pond.As soon as fill is removed,we will restore the original
hydrology.We will put a silt fence up toward the Land Bank pond until restoration is complete.
Erisman—Asked for monitoring given this situation.
Haines—In our wetland restoration protocol includes monitoring and documentation.
Staff Have everything needed to close.

Representative Brian Madden,LEC Environmental
Public None
Discussion (6:24) Madden — This is for driveway improvements on an undeveloped lot within the buffer to a bordering
vegetated wetland.A conservation restriction exists for 6.8 acres of the lot.Will install erosion control barriers
on the north side;any expansion will be toward the south.
Beale—Asked the status of Shawkemo Road in terms of ownership.
Madden — In front of the property, it is within an easement, which includes 8 Wingspread; we have that
property-owner's signature.
Beale—Asked if work is proposed in the Town right of way.
Madden —This section is in the private right of way. We had conversations with the Planning staff of what
would be acceptable.
Engelbourg—He doesn't see the need for improvements in the travelled way;it appears completely passable
as a typical Nantucket dirt road. He's concerned about the driveway being within the 25-foot buffer. Asked
why it isn't more to the south. He doesn't feel the burden of proof has been met for a waiver.
Madden—We reached out to NFD;there are access issues for getting into the site. We designed this to avoid
any regrading of abutting slopes or change to drainage patterns. When this goes to construction,construction
vehicles will also need the wider road for access to the site.
Engelbourg— There is no proposed construction with this NOl; he sees no need to allow the widening of
the travelled way until we have details on what is proposed for the property.
Madden — When the time comes for site development, the development could be designed so as not to
require an NOI. This is limited to the entry access point. The buyer wants to ensure access is there before
closing.
Phillips—The point for a 10-foot-wide road is for access to more than one house on the road. Agrees we are
in the dark here about what will happen there;we don't have enough information. She doesn't see alternatives
analyses but there are conclusory comments. Asked if utliti6y placement has been considered on the north
side of Shawkemo Road. The site is very hilly and when we granted the Order of Conditions for the brush
cutting,we had concerns.
Madden—The feedback from Planning was we don't want to deviate from the rural country-road nature. so
there won't be any expansion to 10- or 12-feet wide. Utilities will be on the south away from the resource
area.
Phillips—Potential need for a 12-foot wide road,doesn't know why Planning would request that. She doesn't
feel we have enough information. You're asking for something based on potential and she sees no need to
widen it at all.
Beale — He was out there today, and the road is very satisfactory; going into the site it was wide enough for
his full-sized jeep.The entry is right on the edge of the wetlands. Doesn't think a case has been made for work
within the 25-foot buffer
Page 4 of 7
ConCom Minutes for April 8,2021,adopted Apr. 22
Topham—In some permitting he's done, the NFD wanted a 12X15 box clear so their vehicle can pass; he'd
like to see if there is some way not to do the cutting. If there is construction going forward,it is necessary to
let a fire truck be able to go down the road.
Engelbourg— He's not arguing against the NFD requirement. If the potential buyer wants to come in with
an NOI,then we can permit,and condition based upon the requirements.
Golding — It reminds him of the debate when West Polpis Harbor was opened, and emergency services
wanted a 12-foot wide bridge;there was a compromise to keep it rustic.
Topham—he would like to see the development plan before road improvements.
Carlson — R.J. Turcotte, Nantucket Land Council, Inc., wrote that 30 Shawkemo has not had trouble with
equipment and utilities access just to the east along the same travelled way and Nantucket Land Council
shares the Commissioners'concerns about improving the way.
Madden—Asked to continue 2 weeks.

Discussion(6:47) Madden —This is a raze and rebuild of a single-family dwelling and septic upgrade; the resource areas are a
coastal beach, coastal dune, primary frontal dune transferring to a vegetated upper dune. The new dwelling
will be outside the 50-foot buffer and the septic will be upgraded with an I/A component and moved outside

asking if the wetland boundaries should be reconfirmed.
Carlson — The steel pieces set are outside the 100-foot buffer. About the resource delineation, a plan has gone to
Historic District Commission for a revision in structures. Any future applications will need to show the wetland
delineation.
c. Engelbourg—At our last meeting, he related the idea of looking at protected interests covered by the regulations in
the face of the impact by climate change.The one potential interest he identified is carbon sequestration to be added.
Erisman — When dealing with saltmarshes and eel grass beds, they have a tremendous ability to deal with carbon
sequestration.
Carlson —Asked for background information on that. Also looking to adding coastal resiliency; it couples well with
carbon sequestration.
