B. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. 22 Broad Street—2nd Floor Expansion Proposal: Mr. Griffin presented preliminary
plans to add 340 square feet of office space to the second floor by building over the conference
room. This would not change the footprint of the building;however,he thought there may be some
•
permitting challenges that he would investigate prior to submission. Upon a motion made by
Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by Commissioner Jelleme, it was unanimously
VOTED to approve the plan as presented.
Mr. Griffin departed the meeting at 4:06 p.m.
2. Owner's Project Manager—Proposal: Ms. Bell presented a proposal from
Architectural Consulting Group ("ACG") for owner's project management services through design,
permitting and procurement for the various building and staff housing projects. Ms. Bell said that
once the bid was awarded,ACG would submit a separate price proposal for project management
services on the construction work. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly
seconded by Commissioner Jelleme, it was unanimously VOTED to authorize Ms. Bell to sign the
proposal and contract with ACG for the services as described.

grasslands. Further,they were considering closing off vehicle access to the pine woodland area
which had been a popular party area and they were concerned with brush fires due to the drought
conditions in the summer. Mr. Larrabee told the Commission that these ideas were still preliminary,
and they were open to considering alternatives. He expressed interest in working collaboratively to
try and avoid any adverse impacts to the Land Bank's adjacent properties. The Commission thanked
Mr. Larrabee for starting the conversation and asked to be kept informed along the way.
Mr. Larrabee departed the meeting at 4:24 p.m.
4. Property Naming—Discussion: Ms. Bell explained that she had her intern
researching the properties to help formulate a list of names,however four of the properties had trails
that were slated to be uploaded to ACK Trails and in order for them to be on the app by summer the
names needed to be established soon. The Commission and staff discussed the various names that
had been put forth and recommended the following:
55 Warrens Landing Road(Wood)—West End Overlook
81 South Shore Road(Sewer Beds)—South Shore Loop
Western Avenue (eastern portion of Sewer Beds)—Point of Breakers Trail
40, 41 &45 Cato Lane (Trimpi)—Cato Commons
Upon a motion made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by Commissioner Jelleme, it
was unanimously VOTED to approve the recommended names and to postpone the naming of 70
Miacomet Avenue (Ferreira)until the.March 14 meeting.
5.New Equipment—Request: Ms. Campese presented a request from the Land
Management Department for a new Vermeer Chipper for$53,693, as the current chipper had some
significant problems and needed some major repairs. Ms. Campese explained that the most cost-
effective approach was to get the current one repaired and list it with the manufacturer for sale on
consignment. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by
Commissioner Jelleme, it was unanimously VOTED to approve the request for the new chipper as
quoted and proceed with the repair and resale of the old chipper.
6. 101 Hummock Pond Road/5 Millbrook Road—Electrical Easement Request: Ms.
Bell explained that an electrical easement was needed to supply more power to the farm which was
in furtherance of the Land Bank's agricultural mission. Upon a motion made by Commissioner
Jelleme and duly seconded by Commissioner Stackpole, it was unanimously to execute the
electrical easement.
7. 19 East Creek Road—Design Services Proposals: Ms. Bell said that in order to
move forward with the project,the Land Bank would be facing a number of permitting hurdles. She
explained that the proposal from Coastal Engineering for$72,000 and Scape Landscape
Architecture for$239,222 (which included the following subconsultants: Wilkinson Ecological
Design,the Woods Hole Group, and LAM Partners) would allow for necessary site investigations
to happen and also allow design development to proceed through the schematic design phase. Ms.
Freeman presented a road map of federal, state and local permits needed for the project and said
Land Bank Commission Page 3
February 14, 2023
since this is the first such project proposed on Nantucket, she expected that permitting locally
would be a learning curve for all involved. Ms. Bell indicated that one of the deliverables at the end
of this design phase was a preliminary estimation of the project cost. Upon a motion made by
Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by Commissioner Jelleme it was unanimously VOTED
to approve both proposals.
