Representative Paul Santos, Nantucket Surveyors — Reviewed NOI for demolition and reconstruction of a single- family dwelling; resource areas: creek, saltmarsh, land subject to coastal storm flowage, and coastal bank. This was held for Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) number and Massachusetts Natural Heritage determination. There had been questions about the existing garage; it was a permitted part of the original plan. Foundation will be piles and meet flood zone standards. The driveway currently exists and will not change; the site is on Town sewer and water. Steven Cohen, Cohen & Cohen Law PC — They broke up the massing to mitigate the impact on wetland scenic views and put much of the new massing toward the front moving it away from the wetlands. The proposed building is conceptual that has no Historic District Commission (HDC) approval. The current structure is slab on grade. Public Cormac Collier, Executive Director Nantucket Land Council — They have serious reservations about the project, about pulling down the 1600 square foot (SF) house and replacing it with a larger house. He feels some aspects of the existing property are not in compliance with the original Order of Conditions. The scenic view is a serious consideration; this board should also look at the affect on scenic views from the abutting Town property. Discussion (4:07) Golding — This design is more elegant and does take the scenic view into consideration but the mass is considerably larger than the existing. Erisman — This plan has more windows and doors; there would be an impact on the wetland from interior night lighting. Feels the impact of construction needs to be considered; this is right at the wetland. Page 1of4 Minutes for November 2 2016 adopted Nov. 16 B. Requests for Determination of Applicability 8.
