Other Business Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Minutes of March 5, 1987 The public hearings of March 5, 1987 were called to order at 7:30 PM. Members present were: Peter Dunwiddie, Carl Borchert, Lee Dunn, William Willet and Donald Visco. Members absent were Maryjane Williams and Lucy Leske. A. Public Hearing 1. Thomas Taylor - SE48-397. The March 5, 1987 letter from the Nantucket Shellfish Advisory Board was read. It is the opinion of that Board that this area around the proposed pier which was seeded with quahogs six years ago is very significant to fisheries. Karen Powers of SHAB noted that the major concern of their Board is the precedent that the building of this pier will have in accepting many piers at a later date which would severely hurt the ability of the fishermen to tow in the area. Mr. Joseph Forns, the agent for the applicant stated that the design of the pier allows for recreational fishing of scallops and will enhance the growth of eel grass, therefore enhance the shellfish bed. He stated that the Commission should not consider denying this project on what piers might go up in the future but make their decision on the application before them. Regulations regarding piers would need to be added to the town By-law if the Commission wants to control the building of piers in Nantucket. Lee Dunn moved to close the hearing. So voted. 2. Winn, Low & Everett - SE48-383. Michael Bachman was present as the agent. House plans showing a design that steps up to a maximum height of 26 feet were shown to the Commission. Carl Borchert expressed his concern with the impact this house will have on the views in the area. Lee Dunn expressed his approval of the design stating that the applicant had adequately addressed the concern voiced by the Commission in previous hearings. William Willet moved to continue the hearing for square footage including decks calculations. So voted. 3. Jeanne Berrian - SE48-399. Donald Visco moved to close the hearing. So voted. 4. SjJ Wauwinet Trust - SE48-399. William Willet moved to reopen the hear- ing so that Donald Visco and Lee Dunn who were absent during the past public hearings would be able to vote on the Orders of Conditions. Carl Borchert again removed himself from the public hearing. Letters from Marion Morton and Louis Ames were read. Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Melissa Philbrick, David Stein, Tina Coughanowr and John Sullivan were present as representatives. Information regarding the septic system and removal of buildings on alternative #2 were submitted. Perc test calculations were also submitted. Donald Visco stated that any relocation of buildings must have the septic system approved by the Board of Health to meet Title V. Engineers from Daylor Consulting Group, Less Smith and Matt Naparala were present and submitted their drainage analysis. Their calcula- tions show that there would be an increase of storm water runoff. Hr. Sullivan argued that there would not be a significant change in the amount of runoff. Peter asked that the Daylor Consultants provide more evidence that there would be a significant change than what the applicants have shown before he can require more information from them. William Willet moved to close the hearing. So voted. 5. Beach Box Trust - SE48-400. Carl Borchert moved to continue the hearing with the consent of John Shugrue, the agent for the appli- cant. William Willet moved to issue an enforcement order to Design Associates and Beach Box Trust for work that was done at Hallowell Lane without a valid Order of Conditions. 6. Porter Cliff Realty Trust - SE48-398. Bob Emac was present as the agent. Richard Glidden was present as the applicant's attorney. The applicant wishes to construct a stone-lined drainage ditch. Lowden Langley of DEQE suggested using the stone rather than grass sheeting as gullies would probably occur because of the slope. Peter wants the area vegetated with grass. Lee Dunn moved to close the hearing. So voted. Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 7. Walter J. Cairnes - 119 Baxter Road.

Request for Determinations a. Amos B. Hostetter - Carl Borchert moved to issue a negative determination adding that no work shall be done within 25 feet of the wetland. 3. Orders of Conditions a. Beverly Hall - SE48-393. Glenn Wills was present as the agent. The Commission requested that a two week extension be granted to them so that they can contact Beverly Hall to scale down the house to reduce the impact the project will have on scenic views and wildlife in the area. Mr. Wills stated that he could not grant the extension as he was unable to reach Ms. Hall for permission. Carl Borchert moved to deny the project adding: 1) This notice of Intent is denied under the Nantucket Wetlands Bylaw for the following reasons: a. No mitigating measures are outlined in plans to reduce destruction of wildlife habitat. b. No mitigating measures are outlined in plans to reduce destruction of the wetlands scenic views. Views are taken to be from Tennessee Avenue and Hither Creek. Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 2) Denial of this Notice of Intent does not prevent the applicant from filing new plans at any time in the future. Donald Visco opposed. So voted. b. Frances Perelman - SE48-394. Lee Dunn moved to issue Orders of Conditions adding: 1) The silt fence on the plans shall consist of continuous staked haybales installed prior to excavation and maintained in good condition throughout construction and until vigorous ground cover has been established sufficient to prevent erosion. 2) There shall be no cutting of vegetation east of the silt fence location during or after construc- tion. An undisturbed vegetated buffer as shown on the plans shall be maintained to perpetuity, as the Commission feels such a border is necessary and sufficient to adequately protect the interests of both the Nantucket Wetlands Bylaw and the Massachusetts Wetland Protection Act. c.
