Mr. Perry and environmental writer Peter Brace entered the meeting at 6: 00 p. m.
C. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. Property Use Request — Request to Lead Guided Walks: Environmental writer Peter
Brace requested permission to give small group (6 people maximum) guided natural history walks
on various Land Bank properties, including Smooth Hummocks, Shawkemo Hills, Stump Pond,
Gardner Farm, Barrett Farm Road and Long Pond Loop. Mr. Brace indicated there would be a fee
charged to the participants and stated he would make a point to carpool so as not to monopolize
Land Bank parking lots. He was hoping to do the walks from mid -spring through early December
and would explain the history and mission of the Land Bank along with the natural history of the
land. Upon a motion made and duly seconded, it was unanimously VOTED to allow the walks on a
trial basis for one year, subject to details being worked out between Mr. Savetsky and Mr. Brace.
Mr. Brace departed the meeting at 6:13 p.m.
Landscape designer Miroslava Ahern entered the meeting at 6:13 p.m.

Land Bank Commission Page 2
March 12, 2013
Miroslava Ahern presented a surface/landscape plan for Petrel Landing, which incorporates low
maintenance, salt tolerant plants, grasses and trees, brick walkways, parking for two cars, a loading
zone for serving boats at the bulkhead, bench seating and picnic tables. The Commission discussed
extending the walkway further around the bulkhead, possibly incorporating a davit for use by
boaters and changing some of the walking paths from brick to wooden boardwalks which may be
more appropriate given the waterfront location. Mr. Savetsky suggested presenting the concept to
the Harbor Plan Implementation Committee and Harbor and Shellfish Advisory Board for their
comments before submitting the plan as part of the application to the Conservation Commission.
Ms. Ahern departed the meeting at 6:48 p.m.
D. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Upon a motion made and duly seconded, it was unanimously
VOTED to accept, approve and release the regular session minutes of February 12, 2013, as written.
E. TRANSFER BUSINESS:
1. February 2013 Transfers — Record Nos. 33828 through 33909: The Commission reviewed
transfers for the period of February 1, 2013 through February 28, 2013.
F. FINANCIAL BUSINESS:
1. Monthly Financial Report: The Commission accepted the January 2013 financial report
including the balance sheet and income statement previously provided by electronic
correspondence.
2. Monthly Transfer Statistics: Monthly transfer statistics reports comparing fiscal years
2012 and 2013 through February 2013 were presented to the Commission.
3. 125 Somerset Road(Workshop Renovation — Change Order Update: Mr. Perry explained
that as a cost saving measure, the engineer had decreased the size of the garage doors in the
structural plans and for some reason the change did not get reflected in the building plans. Thus, the
footings did not match up to the framing and the doors were not properly supported. The change
order to fix the problem is approximately $7,000 payable to the builder. Upon a motion made and
duly seconded, it was unanimously VOTED to approve the change order to allow the project to
move forward, and to pursue the architect and engineer for reimbursement of the costs.
4. Warrant Authorization — Cash Disbursements: Upon a motion made and duly seconded, it
was unanimously VOTED to execute the March 12, 2013 warrant document in the amount of
$228,179.92 to be provided to the county treasurer.

motion made and duly seconded, it was unanimously VOTED to ratify and confirm the warrant
document previously executed on February 22, 2013 with an amount not to exceed $100,000 for
payment of expenses related to the Norwood Farm Trust acquisition.

Commissioner Bartlett entered the meeting remotely via speakerphone at 7:05 p.m., after the Vice
Chairman determined that his physical attendance at the meeting was unreasonably difficult due to
the factor ofgeographic distance.
1. Office Restructuring Update: Mr. Savetsky presented a renovation plan for the office that
had already been filed with the building department and was awaiting approval for a building
permit. By utilizing part of the front hallway and a portion of the Executive Director's office, the
plan creates an additional office for the Assistant Director with minimal impact on the reception
area. While the offices are under construction, Ms. Bell and Ms. Campese were planning on
working out of the conference room and Mr. Savetsky would work in the upstairs break room. Also,
Land Bank meetings would need to take place elsewhere for about six to eight weeks.
2.2013 Annual Town Meeting Article Review: Mr. Savetsky outlined the following annual
town meeting articles that concerned the Land Bank:
a. Article 26 — Community Preservation Committee (CPC) Grant: Mr. Savetsky
reported that he expected that the $205,000 grant to restore the Sconset Golf Barn would be deleted
from the article by the Finance Committee prior to the final warrant being issued.
b. Article 54 — Land Swap: Mr. Savetsky explained that this is a resubmission by the
Board of Selectmen for a possible swap of Airport Commission property on Nobadeer Farm Road
known as the Delta Fields for some undetermined portion of the Land Bank's Madaquecham
property. This article had passed at two previous Town Meetings but had not yet been addressed by
the state legislature.
c. Article 55 — Conveyance of the Wood Property to the Land Bank: Mr. Savetsky
explained that this is a resubmission by the Board of Selectman for the conveyance of the Wood
property on Warren's Landing Road from the Conservation Commission to the Land Bank. This
article passed at the 2012 Town Meeting.
d. Article 60 — 30 Acres of Town Land in Cisco to the Land Bank: Mr. Savetsky
explained that this is a resubmission by the Board of Selectmen for the conveyance of
approximately 30 acres in Cisco to the Land Bank for beach purposes. This article passed at a
previous Town Meeting but had not yet been addressed by the state legislature.
3. Nantucket Airport — Request for Environmental Advisory Services: Mr. Savetsky
presented a request from Noah Karberg, Environmental Coordinator for the Nantucket Memorial
Airport to have Mr. Perry sit on their Technical Advisory Committee. The Committee is required by
the Airport's Natural Heritage Permit and meets once a yew to provide oversight and
recommendations for implementing a Comprehensive Ecological Management Plan. Upon a motion
made and duly seconded, it was unanimously VOTED to approve Mr. Perry's participation in the

parking area. The Commission was pleased with the plan and authorized staff to move forward with
the project as proposed.

explained that the February blizzard took out two feet of beach sand and washed away sand from

to support the bulkhead and avoid such damage in future storms. Pursuant to Mr. Perry's
