He said the project will once again present plans before the HDC in an upcoming meeting. Carl Borchert moved to continue the hearing at the applicant's request. So voted. 3. CooperlDaSilva - SE48-416 - 53 Madaket Road. Carl Borchert mentioned a phone conversation with Lealdon Langley at DEQE who said a letter to the Commission outlining answers to recent questions in some detail is now in the final draft stage.

Carl Borchert moved to continue the hearing until a formal letter of withdrawal is received from the applicant. So voted. 5. Harold E. Booker, Jr. - 22 Folger Ave., Surfside. Robert Emack of Nantucket Surveyors was present as agent for the applicant. Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Minutes of August 6, 1987 Page 2 The results of a recent field inspection were read during which it was determined the 4-bedroom house was within the Buffer Zone of a vegetated wetland, Weeweeder Pond. The exact boundaries of the wetland and the high water mark were agreed upon. Mr. Emack presented a revised plan of the building envelope which was designed to maximize flexibility while building was underway. The envelope is to include all decks. He expressed the applicant's desire to minimize siltation into the pond. Donald Visco moved to continue the hearing for a DEQE file number. So voted. 6. Flint and Judy Beale - Bosworth Road, Tom Nevers. David Bentley and Elizabeth Churchill were present as agents for the applicant. Lee Dunn questioned the 2 conflicting septic plans noticed during the field inspection. Mr. Bentley and Ms. Churchill explained they had presented two alternate plans. The septic system as originally designed is outside the Buffer Zone and places the house within the Zone. Alternatively, a second plan moves the house outside the Buffer Zone, placing the septic system within the Zone and closer to the bluff. They wanted to know which plan the Commission would prefer. Lee Dunn felt this project was a bit different from the Elliott project nearby and the second plan would place the house well back from the bluff. Carl Borchert wanted to see a more specific locus map. Carl Borchert moved to continue the hearing for another field inspection, a locus map and a DEQE file number. So voted. B. PUBLIC MEETING 1. Minutes of July 23, 1987. Carl Borchert moved to accept the minutes as written with the following change: * Page 6: paragraph #3 - change first sentence to read: Carl Borchert felt the lot was subject to the Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Minutes of August 6, 1987 Page 3 wetlands scenic view bylaw, but that the project was not violating any wetlands scenic view from a public way. So voted. 2. Audience to press and public a. Ted Tillotson - Elizabeth McIlvain - SE48-407 - Millbrook Road. Ted Tillotson was present as attorney for Ms. McIlvain requesting the Commission reconsider Special Condition #3 of an Order of Conditions issued May 21, 1987 which stipulates no stoops will be permitted on the pond side of the house. Mr. Tillotson stated the Building Commissioner will not issue a Certificate of Occupancy on the dwelling without some form of steps or deck down to the ground. He said landscape designer Juliette Perkins suggested placing a narrow deck with a bench seat or railing along that side of the house to limit direct access to the pond and bank and to minimize impact on the wetland. The consensus was absent members would want to take part ln any decision on this. Carl Borchert suggested Mr. Tillotson send a letter to include new deck plans and elevation information and the Commission could then decide whether it represented a major change or required a new filing. Mr. Tillotson agreed to send said letter. b. Norman Lanman - ValentinelCedarcrest Realty Trust. Mr. Lanman was not present to discuss an item in the Trust's enviromental notification form which at a later date could cause reason for concern (see page 4 & 5 of notification, on file in office). The Commissioners felt there was no need for discussion at this time. c. John Roe - New Wetlands Regulations. John Roe of the Nantucket Land Council presented a draft of the proposed Nantucket Wetlands Regulations. The document is the result of 10 months of work by Mr. Roe, Lee Dunn and former chairman Mark Arnold. Mr. Roe said it is now time for the Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Minutes of August 6, 1987 Page 4 Commission as a whole to comment on the regulations and to set a public hearing date. Carl Borchert moved the hearing be advertised for Thursday, August 20, 1987 as part of the regular meeting. So voted. Copies of the draft will be available at the office at 4 North Water Street. 3. Other Business a. Richard Gamble - SE48-232 - Pocomo Road. The applicant had been granted an extension permit at the last meeting, however, it was realized later the Order of Conditions had expired on May 6, 1986. Carl Borchert moved to deny the extension permit and request the applicant file again. He also suggested the filing include the new house plans. So voted. b. Proposed ban on commercial sale of Marlins and Sailfish. Lee Dunn expressed to the rest of the Commission his concern for diminishing stocks of White Marlins and Sailfish taken by commercial fisheries. He urged the Commission to send a letter to the New England Fishery Management Council urging them to support the proposed ban on the sale of Marlins and Sailfish from the Atlantic and to support other management measures designed to protect this resource. Carl Borchert agreed that a letter from this Commission might have favorable impact on the issue, and moved to send such a letter. So voted. c. Tristram's Landing - Long Pond - cutting of vegetation. Lee Dunn described some cattail removal activity reported to him by George Nyren. Donald Visco felt even though the cattails are very abundant on Long Pond, a filing is necessary to regulate such activity. Carl Borchert moved to send a letter to the Madaket Conservation Group Trust, clo Stanley Jacobs requesting the filing of a Request for Determination for any further cattail control activity. So voted. Town of Nantucket Conservation Commission Town and County Building Nantucket, Massachusetts 02554 Minutes of August 6, 1987 Page 5 d. Building Dept. complaint - D. Marken, 23 Chuck Hollow Road. The Building Dept. had mistakenly forwarded a complaint to the Commission rather than to the Conservation Foundation on whose property some trucks had been parked and done possible damage. The complaint will be forwarded to the Foundation. 4. Requests for Determination a. Frank Marks/Land Bank - 23 North Liberty Street. Bill Willet moved to issue a negative Determination stating the work described in the Request is within the Buffer Zone, as defined in the regulations, but will not alter an Area Subject to Protection Under the Act. Therefore, said work does not require the filing of a Notice of Intent. So voted. b. Rhoda Weinman/Polpis Farm Realty Trust - 282 Polpis Road. Robert Emack of Nantucket Surveyors was present as agent for the applicant and presented sketch plans. The consensus was the plans were incomplete and another field inspection was warranted. Carl Borchert moved to continue the Determination period at the request of the applicant in order to present a more detailed sketch plan and perform another field inspection. So voted. 5. Certificates of Compliance a. Michael E. Sparrough - SE48-371 - 68 Miacomet Ave. Donald Visco moved to issue a Certificate of Compliance certifying the work regulated by the above-referenced Order of Conditions has been satisfactorily completed. So voted. 6. Orders of Conditions - *** None *** 7. Correspondence All correspondence was read and accepted. There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 PM.
