PUBLIC MEETING A. Public Comment — None f1M 1 "541:0.8 II. PUBLIC HEARING NANTUCKET A. Notice of Intent 1. Sixty -One Madaket NT- 61 Madaket Road (41 -201) SE48 -2842 TOWN CLERK Sitting Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Paul Santos, Nantucket Surveyors — Proposal for an addition and deck to a structure on a fully developed Page 1of7 lot. Asked for waiver for the addition on the easterly side in the 50 -foot buffer to bordering vegetated wetlands and for the foundation being within 2 feet of ground water. Reviewed a report from Laurentide Environmental, LLC. Public None Discussion (4:12) None Staff Have everything needed to close. Motion Motion to Close. (made by: LaFleur) (seconded by: Topham) Vote Carried 5 -0 2. Bewkes III — 67 Squam Road (13 -14) SE48 -2836 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Arthur D. Gasbarro, Blackwell and Associates Inc. — Secdnd hearing for a new foundation located in the buffer to a wetland and coastal bank. Asked for a waiver for an addition within the 50 -foot buffer. The shed is out of the buffer and will be planting a buffer of native vegetation; believes that is a net benefit and improvement to the site. Public Emily MacKinnon, Nantucket Land Council — In the application there is a waiver for 2 -foot separation from high groundwater but there are no details or information about that separation or temporary dewatering. As far as the waiver for the addition within the 50 -foot buffer, the commission should be careful about "horse- trading" the revegetation of an area for a permanent addition. Discussion (4:16) Erisman — Asked if the area where the shed is presently located would be lawn or vegetated. Gasbarro — It will become part of the vegetated buffer; where the shed is going is presently a planting bed and increases its distance from the buffer. They have done what they could to keep work outside the 50- foot buffer. The scope of work is to jack up the house onto cribbing, excavate the foundation, and lower the house. Don't have any information that suggests there is groundwater there. Erisman — Concerned about the proximity of the silt fence from the wetland and construction vehicles parking so close and rain runoff during construction. Staff Can condition the silt fence maintain a 15 -foot distance from the wetlands. Have everything needed to close. Motion Motion to Close. (made by: LaFleur) (seconded by: Steinauer) Vote Carried 6 -0 Page 1of7 Minutes for December 2, 2015, adopted Dec. 16 3. Edwin Snider RT —1 Brock's Court (42.3.4 -84) SE48 -2834 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Topham Recused Golding Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Mark Rits, Site Design Engineering — This is for an after -the -fact house relocation. Reviewed additional information he was asked to provide: footprint, foundation, and groundwater. He did 5 shallow borings, about 3.5 feet, and did reach groundwater at about 3 feet. He confirmed the foundation is a slab with frost wall. The original house footprint had about 1100 square feet (SF) within the buffer; the proposed is about 800 SF within the buffer. A chicken coop has been temporarily moved and will ultimately be relocated outside the 50 -foot buffer. Steven Cohen, Cohen & Cohen Law PC Public Emily MacKinnon, Nantucket Land Council — Asked if there is a determination of the actual depth of the foundation and what the actual separation from groundwater will be. Nantucket Land Counsel holds a conservation restriction on an adjacent property. Referred to a letter of concerns from Bruce Perry, Third - party Consultant Conservation Commission. Information about upland soils wasn't included in Mr. Perry's report, and Nantucket Land Counsel would like more hydrology information. Bruce Griffin, New England Environmental — The abutters he represents feel there is a lack of delineation on the property. The 2 -foot separation relates to high groundwater as found in the spring, according to the Performance Standards. He spoke to David M. Haines, Haines Hydrogeologic Consulting, who told him when the wetlands were delineated and that it was not intended for this property; he stopped at the property line though the wetlands do not stop at the property line. Kendra Kinscherf, Davis, Malin & D'Agostine for Marsh Fader 36 Liberty Street — Shares the same concerns about wetland delineations. Because of the fill and pervious patio, the project has changed the flow of water. Asked that this project be conditioned to mitigate those impacts. Discussion (4:34) Rits — This is a standard 4 -foot foundation. Without getting equipment in there, it's hard to figure out where the groundwater actually is. The deck doesn't impact groundwater; it's the house foundation, which has been greatly reduced and is a 4 -foot frost wall all outside the 50 -foot buffer. Over the years, there has been quite a lot of disturbance in this area. In 2003, the wetland was flagged almost entirely off this property; it has pushed up since then. Steinauer — Given the concerns, thinks it might behoove this project to remain open to confirm the delineation of the wetland. Cohen — Wants to ensure all testing is done before the next hearing so that this application does not go through multiple continuations. Rits — Requested a continuance to Dec. 16 to allow time for soil testing. Staff The lines were reviewed by the third parry who confirmed the lines. Motion Continued for two weeks without objection Vote N/A 4. Edwin Snider RT —1 Brock's Court (42.3.4 -84) SE48 -2835 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Topham Recused Golding Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Mark Rits, Site Design Engineering — Would like to know if there are any other questions that need to be addressed. This is for a 2nd- dwelling, pool, and pervious driveway. It hinges on the delineation discussed in the previous project. The shed has been moved outside the 50 -foot buffer. The slab will be at elevation 24.5 with the water at about elevation 21. Any dewatering would be temporary and would request a Department of Public Works permit to pump into Town stormwater runoff. He anticipates the bottom of the pool will be at groundwater. Due to the tiny amount of wetlands on this property, it would not be possible to do much in the way of invasive species removal; alternately proposing an increased the native vegetation buffer. In terms of most of the site work, the driveway will be pervious shell so shouldn't impact run off. Steven Cohen, Cohen & Cohen Law PC — Noted that the abutting property pumps water into the wetlands. Public Emily MacKinnon, Nantucket Land Council — In the original delineation letter, it mentions a pond on Marsha Fader's property, which could be connected to ground water; it should be delineated to determine if it is an additional resource area. It's important to get some sense of the groundwater in regards to the pool. Bruce Griffin, New England Environmental — In 2013 he went onto Ms Faders property and assessed the area next to the pond; he found hydric soils 14 feet from the edge of the pond and an obligate wetland plant growing in that area. Kendra Kinscherf, Davis, Mahn & D'Agostine for Marsh Fader 36 Liberty Street — Although there is a waiver for the pool; there isn't a waiver for alteration of more than 50% within the buffer area nor has the applicant proven no adverse impact and no reasonable alternative. A pool in this area has especially serious impact on the resource areas. At this point the application is deficient in regards to the full extent of impact on resource areas including the pond. The pond was dug in 1910; don't know if there is a connection to the groundwater since it isn't a lined pond. Groundwater in this area is very high. Page 2 of 7 Minutes for December 2 2015 adopted Dec. 16 Discussion (4:58) Erisman — A shell driveway would become compacted by cars. Rits — There will be some. In terms of flooding, there is a catch basin of dubious worth; there appears to be no effort to channel flooding into that catch basin. Erisman — Asked what is being done about roof run off. Rits — Can put something under the driveway. Asked if the commission would be satisfied with an aerial photo of the pond. Asked that his consultant have permission to go onto Ms Faders property to delineate the pond. Steinauer — The ground layer is a carpet of mustard garlic and Japanese knotweed; the applicant should get permission for invasive species removal and maintenance. Rits — Asked for a two -week continuance. Staff Ms Fader would have to grant written permission for access to her property in order to assess the pond. Motion Continued for two weeks without objection Vote N/A 5. Zecher — 34 Shimmo Pond Road (43 -124) SE48 -2841 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Arthur D. Gasbarro, Blackwell and Associates Inc. — This is the 2nd hearing for maintenance of a timber bulkhead and protection to the end of the structure. A change is to bring in short, sand -filled coir tubes placed at an angle at the end of the structure and a single line of sand -drift fence in front of the tubes running from the end of the bulkhead to the property line. He can keep up with annual reporting and typical post storm event reporting. Public Emily MacKinnon, Nantucket Land Council — Nantucket Land Council has a conservation restriction on this property. Confirmed where the end of the new work will be. Would like a silt fence in place during work. Discussion (5:21) Steinauer — Would like monitoring of end scour to determine how well this holds up. Erisman — Asked about the plantings. Gasbarro — A single layer of cloth with beach grass plugs and temporary watering until the plants are established. Erisman — Would like monitoring of the amount of mid -Island sand that is washed into the harbor system. Staff In cases of patch repair to structures, we have asked for storm reporting and annual report with a survey. He doesn't think a quarterly survey would provide much information. Have everything needed to close. Motion Motion to Close. (made by: LeFleur) (seconded by: Topham) Vote Carried unanimously 6. Cigarran — 25 East Tristam Avenue (31 -1) SE48 -2840 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Arthur D. Gasbarro, Blackwell and Associates Inc. — He has discussed with the owner about the possibility of an easement up and over; there isn't that would be safe and workable. Nourishment is already an on -going condition above the bank and covering the existing stone revetment. Contends there aren't many alternates; the owner feels there is an obligation to protect dwelling and maintain the existing structure. The owner doesn't feel a softer structure is a viable alternative. Public None Discussion (5:29) Steinauer — Something that came up in the 'Sconset Beach Preservation Fund negotiations is maintenance of a walkable beach; even though this is the extension of a grand- fathered structure, they should put sand down to maintain the walkable beach. Wonders if that is part of the Chapter 91 license. Since it is eroding out at the top and acting like a coastal bank, wonders if anchoring coir bags on top would be a viable alternative. Golding — He believes it is important for this board to protect public access and asked the commission to consider a softer solution. Gasbarro — He is trying not to expand the footprint by adding boards and avoid the maintenance of deflating coir tubes. Erisman — The commission needs to review the affect of nourishment on the environment. We also have to acknowledge there is no beach and that is the reason for the wave velocity. Discussion about the extension of the bulkhead as proposed versus the coir bag. Gasbarro — Asked for a continuance to further discuss options with the owner. Staff None Motion Continued for two weeks without objection Vote N/A 7. Allison- 7 Pond Road (56 -153) SE48- (Cont to 12/16/15) Page 3 of 7 Minutes for December 2 2015 adopted Dec 16 8. Tuckernuck Associates — Lot 1 on Land Court Plan No. 41462 -A (94-8) SE48 -2838 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair) (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative None Public None Discussion (5:38) None Staff This was extended due to lack of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) number and have not received a response from back. Laurentide Environmental, LLC is in agreement with the location Massachusetts Natural Heritage letter which ruled no adverse impact. Have everything needed to close. Motion Motion to Close. (made by: LaFleur) (seconded by: Steinauer) Vote Carried unanimously 9. *The Town of Nantucket — Between 7& 21 Easy Street (42.3.1;42.2.2, 17;20) SE48 -2844 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Dave Fronzuto, Town of Nantucket — Any tide over 5 feet is washing over the bulkhead and seeping Staff down behind and flooding the road. Noted that the work will include taking the jog out of Easy Street. Motion Carlos Pena, CLE Engineering — This is to replace a timber bulkhead and metal cap constructed in 1927. Vote Reviewed damage to the existing bulkhead. Reviewed the design and construction of the new wall and cap. The new bulkhead will be 6 inches higher than the existing. All work will be from the street. Explained where the silt curtains will be placed. Public Debbie Deeley Culbertson, 21 Easy Street — Stated that when replacing fence posts on her property, they hit railroad ties. In 2002 she replaced her section of bulkhead; asked how the two will be connected seamlessly. Asked how raising the top 18 inches will affect her property; the flood runoff would wash around the bulkhead via her property. Patty Roggeveen — Noted that the Chapter 91 license for Dreamland obligates them to take care of the brick walkway. Discussion (5:39) Erisman — Asked if there is anything to catch debris coming off the street during a flood event. Pena — That will be one of the functions of the scuppers. There will be a detail showing how the two bulkheads will be connected. Explained how they would mitigate any flood run off that might flow onto 21 Easy Street. Staff Have everything needed to close. Motion Motion to Close. (made by: Golding) (seconded by: LaFleur) Vote Carried unanimously 10. *Forty -Seven Monomoy Road TR — 47 Monomoy Road (54 -295) SE48 -2843 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Recused None Documentation Site plans, topographical maps, photos, MNH sign off letter, departmental reports, and correspondence. Representative Paul Santos, Nantucket Surveyors — This is a NOI for construction of a freestanding, 18- square foot (SF) shed and addition of a spa adjacent to the existing pool and 4 -foot retaining wall. The shed will go on the leveled area on the side slope of a bank and outside the 50 -foot buffer. No waivers are required; this is a buffer zone filing. A portion of the site is located within a state - mapped Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA) area. Made a filing with the natural Heritage and Endangered Species Program (NHESP) but have not received a response from back. Laurentide Environmental, LLC is in agreement with the location of the wetland line; they noted exterior lighting should be directed away from the wetland. The slope is vegetated with perennial rye grass and some trees; it was a fill slope dev eloped with the original order of consent. They will be developing a more detailed landscape plan to go along with the approval. Explained the grade change around the spa and the shed. Asked for a 2 -week continuance. Public None Discussion (5:59) Steinauer — Suggested staff write a positive order. Erisman — The order should be conditioned that the fill not have any invasive species in it.

Todd —11 Wauwinet Road (20 -43) SE48 -2831 Sitting Steinauer, Bennett (acting chair), Erisman, LaFleur, Golding, Topham Staff Used the same cultivar condition as for SE48 -2829 and the same invasive species. Another concerns was for no irrigation or fertilizer use skirting the 25 -foot buffer. Can add Condition 23 requesting best effort be made to relocate cherry trees along new driveway. Discussion (625) Erisman — Would like a condition against the use of lawn grass on either side of the driveway. She's opposed to this anyway as it is bisecting two upland wetland areas and the removal of cherry trees which are heavily used habitats. Steinauer — Should have had them replant the trees and make a corridor along the driveway. Bennett — Suggested a condition requiring the planting of new cherry trees.

He will craft a negative order for the next meeting. Discussion (6:33) Golding — He is concerned about the wetland getting filled in and increase the photograph documentation. Erisman — We talked about moving the silt fence farther from the wetlands; if the silt fence is on the wetland, they scrape right to silt fence. Steinauer — When they have a big lot like this, should talk about mitigation on the rest of the lot. Motion Motion to Issue as amended. (made by: LaFleur) (seconded by: none) Vote Not Carried 0 -6 5.
