Representative Steven Reichert,Fuss&O'Neil
Robert McNeil,Director Department of Public Works (DPW
Public None
Discussion(5:05) McNeil—It helped to share the foundation of this application during the site visit.
Engelbourg—During the site visit,a few issues came to mind.Behind the deck,it appears the area was either
mown or brush cut;Mr.McNeil cited as one of the primary reasons for the expanded deck is to restrict access
into that area and keep people from trampling across the dunes. We need to find a constructive way to
minimize access going forward. Another issue is that south of the proposed deck, there's a stand of Japanese
Black Pine,which acts highly invasively on Nantucket.A full-scale restoration could help.
Beale — He agrees with Mr. Engelbourg about limiting the access to the west of the building; that would be
important. We looked and measured options; he appreciates the idea of the waiver project. He believes a 9'
deck would be more suitable.
Topham — Agrees with Mr. Beale. In replacing the shower door, could shift them around to allow easier
wheelchair access. The split rail fence should run all the way to the deck to stop people from walking on the
dunes.
Engelbourg—It was obvious that the site is constrained with other uses,but he still believes bringing people
to the back of the building for an accessible watershed view is not necessary. There is a beautiful view from
the parking lot;there should be ways to reconfigure some of the uses.
Erisman — Agrees with what's been said. It seems the expanded deck is more to serve the need of the
concessionaire;she opposes expanding the deck into the no-build zone before the building is renovated.
Topham—Shared a drawing reducing the deck to 5' and shifting the ramp over; it allows access and lessens
the impact on the resource area.
Phillips —Appreciates the comments and agrees with Ms. Erisman's comments about doing all the work at
the same time rather than disturbing the area now and later. Before we add to the deck,we should look at the
entire building footprint.
McNeil—As we looked at the deck and adjacent slope, the idea was to use the deck as a definitive way to
prevent passage behind the structure. He's happy to go back to the drawing board and consider Mr.
Topham's suggestion.
Erisman—It might be helpful to have written correspondence to the concessionaire so that they know they
should not be mowing in the resource area.
Golding— He shares the expressed concerns. However, what was said about using the cantilevered deck to
change pedestrian traffic resonates with him;he would approve it the way it stands.
McNeil—Asked for a continuance.
Staff Clarified that the deck being proposed is within the buffer to the resource area;it still requires a waiver.
Motion Continued to June 24th.

Public R.J.Turcotte,Nantucket Land Council,Inc.
Discussion (5:31) Gasbarro—We submitted a notice a year ago to remove structures and retainage which has been completed.
All redevelopment is outside the 100' buffer. This is for a path and set of beach stairs in the same location as
the old beach stairs. There has been extensive restoration of the buffer zone done under the prior Order o:
Conditions.Black Pine and eastern red cedar is proposed along the west side as a screen.
Engelbourg— Okay with the path and stairs. He's concerned about planting Black Pine; as mentioned earlier
it is being brought up to be included as an invasive plant. Suggested pitch pine or more red cedar.
Golding—Wants to see a cross section of the stairs with railings.
Beale—Asked the success rate of the American Beach grass.
Gasbarro — It hasn't been in for a full season, but they are growing. We would accept a condition for
monitoring that.
Erisman—Agrees about not using the Japanese Black Pine.
Turcotte—On the landscape plan,it says existing vegetation right of the path to remain; asked what it is.
Gasbarro— Some areas that hadn't been disturbed had some bayberry and poison ivy; the intent is to show
that the disturbed areas were planted with beach grass and the rest left alone.Asked for a 2-week continuance
to provide additional information and a file number.

Representative Paul Santos,Nantucket Surveyors
Public R.J.Turcotte,Nantucket Land Council,Inc.
Discussion(5:47) Santos —This is for removal of brush along northerly portion of the property between the development and
the coastal bank up to the 25' no-disturb zone;primarily growth is invasive honeysuckle and poison ivy to be
replaced with lawn.All structures are outside the 100'buffer.
Erisman—The silt fence is on top of the bank and looks like it is right on the 25'no-disturb line.
Beale—Asked that beach grass be planted in the 50 to 25 zones closer to the coastal bank.
Santos—He thinks they would be willing to work out a transition from lawn to buffer.
Golding—He agrees with Mr. Beale;he'd also like to see a transition.
Erisman—Also agrees;that cutting up to the 25'buffer would be harsh.
Turcotte—He agrees with what has been said about native vegetation on the bank, especially if a staircase is
going in.

Public None
Discussion (5:58) Bailey — Introduced the team. This is to remove of 8 of 11 storage tanks from the fuel tank farm; no soil
remediation will take place at this time.The 3 remaining tanks in the southeast corner supply marine fuel.
Donovan — This is within land subject to coastal storm flowage. The work is to demolish tanks within the
resource area and buffer zones as well as removal of some dike walls for access,and site investigation;this will
result 4800 sf reduction in pervious surfaces
Taber—Reviewed process to be followed to remove the tanks and precautions to prevent further pollution
of soil. Working closing with the Fire Chief. We can't do a site investigation until all the tanks are removed;
that will entail sampling soil and water within the diked area.
Bailey — Regarding environmental conditions, this site has considerable petroleum contamination. This was
one of the first sites reported to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) but has been 100°o
compliant with DEP regulations.
Golding—When the marina was being built, the land was so saturated with fuel it was ignited from a pickax
spark.Asked how the fuel within the tanks would be dealt with.
Taber—Nine of the 11 tanks have been completely cleaned out; there is no fuel and no sediment, and they
have been certified as gas free.
Topham — Asked what happens if there is a flood after the section of dikes are removed and before the
investigation.
ConCom Minutes for lune 10,2021, adopted lune 24
Taber-- I:verything tends to drain to the center of the tank farm since it is lower than the edge. if there
flood, dyke walls will remain around most of it with a chain-link fence tied down to the concrete. if ye khc.;
a storm is coming,we can place sandbags along the opening to prevent encroaching Hood eaters.
Phillips —Reading through the project and all the layers and interlocking sections, asked how all the repots
will be monitored as well as ensuring everything is removed correctly. What reports would be made available
to'Town entities.
Taber—We are working with an experienced tank remover we'll have an engineer or_ site taking photo- an d
documenting what's going on;at times,we might need to have a police or fire detail present-
Phillips—Asked how we would know if something were not going right;we've had issues trying to get larger
projects to provide their reports.Asked what the thresholds for reporting would be.
Taber We are required to follow Mass DEP, U.S. Department of Agriculture. and Occupational Safer. and
I Iealth Administration standards; explained those standards. We aren't getting into the su 1 at this point; there
will he trained construction supervisors on site; we need to report spills of 10 gallons or more, any accidents.
and potential public safety risks.
Phillips--This is going to be an avidly followed project;we will be looking to you to keep us well informed.
Beale—Asked if they are monitoring the test wells in the area.
Taber—Yes and reporting to the DEP;those wells have been monitored for some rears now.
Erisman —Pointed out that the off season is when Nantucket gets more flooding and storms. We received a
letter from the Fire Chief who mentioned foam put on this site; asked if the combo of fuel and P1-'. would
put this on the level of a superfund.
Tuber-- Ile doesn't anticipate it being a super-fund site;we expect to find
Bailey—This is not part of the sole aquifer water source for the Island's drinking water.
Erisman—If PFAS is getting into the harbor,it's getting into the fish and shellfish and so to our tables.
Staff 1 Ie can make the Fire Chiefs letter publicly available.

Representative Jeff Blackwell,Blackwell&_Assoc.
Public R.J.Turcotte,Nantucket Land Council,Inc.
Discussion (6:31) Blackwell—This was continued because we didn't have a response on the 'MESA application; that response
is mainly concerned with piping plovers.Work will not take place during the fledgling season. The Snowdons,
who are an older couple,have asked for a handrail on one side of the boardwalk, so revised plans show that.
Golding—From Jackson Point Pier there is an uninterrupted view of this he opposed to handrails. Asked
for a site visit.
Topham—Regarding a site visit,asked for flagging at the top of the proposed rail.
Erisman—Agrees this would be good to look at.
Phillips—There are times older persons need that help and handrails are important. We have to balance that
need with the wetland scenic view.
Golding — This isn't for the purpose of making it accessible to the public. this is for private use. In his
opinion,it would be very different if it were for public access.
Turcotte — The Land Council strongly discourages permitting the boardwalk. The current path goes over
sand,and a permanent structure in that location would be detrimental to the salt marsh.
Blackwell—Asked for a continuance; he'll place some visual reference points. This is a safer.- issue; the ran
itself would have no impact on the salt marsh and the boardwalk will increase the health of the salt marsh.
Staff I le thinks we can go back to our original site-visit process for this.

I le doesn't think flooding will be an issue as long as the section that is opened for work can be closed of
prior to a storm.
Engelbourg — The applicant mentioned a gated fence and sand bags. Asked if a more intensive temporary
structure like a swale or retainage could be put into place.
LaFleur—He's confident they will have the steps figured out; they know they're in the velocity zone. Having
the protocol in writing should be sufficient.
Beale—Agrees they should provide a Hood Control Plan for when they open the dike.
Topham—A steel plate the same height as the dike wall would be best.

4. Commissioners Comment
a.Erisman — Sometimes Mr. Carlson communicates with DEP about enforcement issues; asked about opening
communications between DEP and Commissioners.
Carlson— He's spoken with Nate Corcoran at MassDEP about SBPF. He can invite him to the meeting on June 30'-.
We talked about a way to make up the missing nourishment material,potential removal,etc.;he said he'd be willing to
review any plan or protocol. He's also talked to Mr. Corcoran about Holly Wood Farms; however, while DEP is
supportive of the action,they don't tend to go after wetland violations.They get involved when it comes to something
like a 50-acre-wetland alteration.
5. Administrator/Staff Reports
a. SBPF review has been moved to June 30th.
b.This is our last scheduled ZOOM meeting pending how legislation goes through the Statehouse. He'd like to see
