3. SGC—Practice Area: Mr. Oberly presented pictures of the installation of the
putting green in progress. He reported the project was on schedule and budget and should be ready
for the season opening.
4. Miacomet Golf Course ("MGC")—Manager's Monthly Review: The Commission
reviewed the balance sheet and profit and loss comparison through March 31, 2016, as well as the
check register and credit card bill for March 2016 and profit and loss summary by department
prepared by Ms. Campese. Mr. Costa stated that there still was not much happening with golf, but
the restaurant was showing continuing improvement over last year.
5. MGC—Complimentary Membership Request(Clergy): Mr. Costa relayed a
request from Reverend Ruth Smaltz of the Congregational Church for a complimentary seminarian
membership which she holds at two off-island clubs in exchange for chaplain/clergy services to the
membership as needed. Mr. Costa and Commissioners Glidden and Stackpole stated to their
knowledge there has never been this category of membership since it is a public course. Upon a
motion made by Commissioner Paterson and duly seconded by Commissioner Glidden, it was
unanimously VOTED to respectfully decline the request.
6. MGC Cart Path Maintenance—Estimate Update: Mr. Oberly presented an
estimate from A.C.K. Tennis for$32,400 for repairs and maintenance of the cart paths, including
reapplication of the magnesium chloride flakes. Mr. Costa expressed his opinion that the
magnesium flakes would not work, to which Commissioner Gardner responded that this was the
only option available, as the bid for paving the paths was unacceptably high. Commissioner
Gardner said if this treatment did not work,the Commission would reconsider paving the paths with
revised specifications in the future. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Gardner and duly
seconded by Commissioner Stackpole, it was unanimously VOTED to authorize Mr. Costa to move
forward with maintaining the cart paths with magnesium flakes this season.
Mr. Costa and Mr. Oberly departed the meeting at 5:28 p.m.
C. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Upon a motion by made by Commissioner Glidden and
duly seconded by Commissioner Paterson, it was unanimously VOTED to accept, approve and
release the regular meeting minutes of April 12, 2016 and the special meeting minutes of April 12,
2016, as written.
D. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT:
1. Petrel Landing/17 Commercial St—Project Update: Ms. Freeman and Mr.
Gasbarro explained the Notice of Intent application had been filed with the Conservation
Commission ("Con Corn") and now was the time to make any changes to the surface plan as they
expected the application to be reviewed over several meetings before the Con Corn issued an Order
of Conditions ("OCC"). Mr. Gasbarro stated that the application must meet environmental
performance standards, as the project was a redevelopment of the solid fill pier with new bulkheads,
surface materials, dredging for boat traffic and a 140' floating dock for short term recreational boat
use. Further, Mr. Gasbarro explained the property was in the flood zone and storm water receptors

may need to be addressed in the future. Ms. Freeman said the Police Chief and Harbormaster had
reviewed and supported the plan.
Ms. Wilson departed the meeting at 5:53 p.m.
Mr. Gasbarro reiterated that the application was just the beginning of the permitting process which
was expected to be intense. He explained that after the OCC was issued and any potential appeals
by abutters exhausted, the Chapter 91 license would need to be applied for, then a Massachusetts
Environmental Protection Act application, then a water quality certificate must be issued followed
by the notification process that included 15 to 18 agencies including Massachusetts Historic,Native
American Tribes, etc. The Commission thanked Mr. Gasbarro for his presentation, stating that they
looked forward to additional updates.
Mr. Gasbarro departed the meeting at 6:03 p.m.
2. Codfish Park Playground—Parking Discussion: Ms. Bell explained that people
using the playground were parking on the side of the road against the split rail fence in front of the
playground. This parking was causing traffic issues and obstructing sight lines of cars coming
around the corner, creating a potentially dangerous situation for pedestrians crossing the street
going to and from the playground. Ms. Bell reported that she had asked the Town's Traffic Safety
Committee to review the situation to consider whether the Town should prohibit parking on that
side of the road, at least from the corner to just beyond the playground property. Upon a motion
made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by Commissioner Paterson, it was
unanimously VOTED to ask the Traffic Safety Committee to prohibit parking from the corner of
Gully Road to the end of the playground property on Codfish Park Road.
3. Mosquito Control—Discussion: Ms. Freeman reported she had attended the
Mosquito Control Committee meeting and spoke to Emily Hibbard of Vector Disease Control
International, who is contracted by the town to survey and treat problem spots with larvicide. Ms.
Hibbard has authority to survey any property on the island, but needs permission from property
owners to apply treatments. Ms. Freeman confirmed her own research with Ms. Hibbard that West
Nile virus is indeed a threat on Nantucket, but in the last three years no infected mosquitoes have
been found on island. Ms. Hibbard said Eastern Equine Encephalitis is unlikely as the mosquitoes
that carry it have not been found on Nantucket and Zika virus is not possible as it is carried by
mosquitoes not found this far north. The Commission thanked Ms. Freeman for her report.
4. Employee Summer Housing—Discussion: Ms. Bell went over the summer
housing needs for Land Bank employees, reporting that it had also come to the Land Bank's
attention that the Assistant Town Manager was in desperate need of summer housing. Given the
shortage of affordable housing for key municipal employees, staff recommended delaying the
demolition of the McAlinden house at 48 South Cambridge Street so Property Manager Robert
Earley could move in for the summer and Assistant Town Manager, Gregg Tivnan could rent the
house recently vacated by Sean Oberly since his town housing had been taken away. Upon a motion
made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by Commissioner Paterson, it was
unanimously VOTED to delay the McAlinden demolition and further to rent the house at 159

Hummock Pond Road to Gregg Tivnan for the summer for$2,000 per month and require a$1,200
security deposit.
5. Mt. Vernon Farm/Sustainable Nantucket—Farm Fresh Feast Benefit Event: Ms.
Bell presented a request from Michelle Whelan of Sustainable Nantucket to use the Community
Farming site for Sustainable Nantucket fundraiser on Friday, July 29, 2016 with a silent auction
tent, tables, chairs, stage and dance floor for 200 people with an additional 50 people during the
cocktail hour. Further, they requested use of the Gardner field for parking. After some discussion,
upon a motion made by Commissioner Stackpole and duly seconded by Commissioner Glidden, it
was unanimously VOTED to approve the request.
6. Cisco Beach Use Request—Nantucket Island Surf School: Upon a motion made
by Commissioner Gardner and duly seconded by Commissioner Stackpole, the Commission
unanimously VOTED to approve a request from Gary Kohner of Nantucket Island Surf School,to
allow his use of a portion of the Land Bank's Cisco Beach property to rent surfboards and provide
surfing lessons subject to Mr. Kohner continuing to provide stewardship of the property, carrying
insurance protection with $500,000 coverage per occurrence and $1,000,000 in aggregate with the
Land Bank named as additionally insured, and requiring students and board renters to sign hold-
harmless agreements. The Commission agreed to a fee of$5,000 to allow Mr. Kohner to provide
these services for the season.
7. Petrel Landing/17 Commercial Street—Figawi V.I.P. Tent: Ms. Bell presented a
request from Figawi, Inc. to have their VIP tent set up at Petrel Landing from Friday, May 27, 2016
through Monday morning May 30, 2016 to be used for meetings, award ceremonies and sponsor
receptions. Upon a motion made by Commissioner Glidden and duly seconded by Commissioner
Gardner, it was unanimously VOTED to approve the request as in previous years, subject to the
Land Bank named as additionally insured on their insurance policy.
8. Soverino/21-23 Tennessee Ave—Demolition Bid Award: Ms. Bell informed the
Commission that only one bid was received for the demolition of buildings at 21 and 23 Tennessee
